Key Features and Functionality: - Enterprise Scalability: Capable of handling thousands of applications and tens of thousands of users, ensuring suitability for large organizations. - Contextual Analysis: Consolidates multiple data streams and considers various contextual factors to identify trends, themes, and anomalies within the application portfolio. - Customizable Surveys: Offers pre-built questionnaires for cloud, container, or database migration assessments, with the flexibility for users to create their own tailored surveys. - Deployment Flexibility: Can be deployed on the organization's own ServiceNow instance or hosted on GlobalLogic’s cloud platform, providing adaptability to different IT environments. Primary Value and Problem Solved: The Cloudwave Assessment Tool addresses the challenges associated with assessing application portfolios during IT transformation programs, such as cloud migrations. Traditional CMDBs often lack the necessary contextual information for informed decision-making, and engaging application owners can be time-consuming, leading to project delays and budget overruns. By augmenting the CMDB with a survey-based process and intelligent categorization, Cloudwave accelerates the assessment phase, reduces costs, and provides actionable insights. This enables organizations to establish a baseline, identify quick wins, and make strategic decisions with minimal expenditure, ultimately optimizing the efficiency and effectiveness of their IT change initiatives.
