CREATING APPS DIFFERENTLY Apps that represent an existing valid business process that cannot be eliminated, but also do not requre an incremental investment. Apps that represent good business processes running on good applications and good platforms; IT aims to do more with these apps to deploy new capabilities or enhance current functionality. Apps that represent a business process that isn’t valuable anymore; they may be old or unsupported, allowing us to sunset the application and free up resources. Apps that represent valid business processes that are needed, but apps that automate them may be old, unsupported, or operating on end-of-life infrastructure; will require an investment to migrate functionality to a different application.
