AVA providing 4 key insights
 Application Business Value versus Support and Maintenance Costs
 Current Application Support Demand versus Available Application Support
Resources
 Application Health versus Risks to the Business
 Application Business Value versus Legacy Modernisation Viability

AVA providing 4 key insights - Methodology
 Pre-defined and proven “portfolio management” Q&A
technique
 Specific questions developed for legacy applications
 Evaluation of the key application information
obtained from your subject matter experts
 Standard templates, called playbooks, to capture
quantitative and qualitative data

Fujitsu’s approach to Legacy Modernisation AVA
Data is gathered using a playbook. The playbook follows a Question and Answer format.
Hereby is an example of one of the questions that the playbook asks. This example uses Quality Index.
