Application Portfolio Assessment
Deciding where to invest a dwindling pool of funding across a growing portfolio of information systems isn't easy. Most organisations don't have a clear view on the condition of their information system assets, leading to investment decisions that are often misaligned to the needs of the organisation.
​
The Application Portfolio Assessment helps CIOs, CTOs, IT Managers and Product Owners make better use of scarce funding. It provides a foundation to help you make informed decisions about where to allocate investment across your application portfolio.
We use the Gartner® TIME Framework as a basis for the assessment to look at both the technical quality and the business value of your application portfolio. The results are provided in a standalone report suitable for executive decision-makers.
We will also provide Open Group® ArchiMate models of your information systems to your technical teams to support future planning and design activity.

We take the uncertainty out of information system change
Supernova provides a range of services to help guide you through the complex process of information system change, ultimately putting the right tools in the hands of your people so they can work more effectively and efficiently.
Supernova is equipped to handle the diverse needs of your organisation, and provide structure and insight to help our clients make effective technology investment decisions. Our decades of experience across technology and business domains means that clients can be assured that the advice we give is based on real-world experience of what will work for them. We don't push cookie-cutter solutions that originate from offshore consultancy practices because they rarely account for the cultural, economic or demographic characteristics of the New Zealand environment.
As a boutique provider we can combine our services in different ways to meet the specific needs of each engagement.
If desired, Supernova can take an outcome-based approach to our work. This means that you have up-front certainty of the time and cost of an engagement. We wear the risk in the unlikely event of complications, and you can be confident that you'll get the outcomes you're seeking.
