Our Perspective
Speak the right language
Key decision makers rarely react to issues when they are expressed in technical terms, such as technical debt, maintainability, and architectural fit. Application portfolio transformation must speak to supporting established business goals.
Speak to what resonates
Key decision makers also overlook initiatives that emphasize improving an application. The experienced value must be expressed as the improvement to their business capabilities the application supports.
