Today’s topic, taken from the Application think tank held by Dell Services early this year, is application rationalization.  Take a listen as Ranga Jayaraman, Associate Dean and CIO of the Graduate School of Business at Stanford talks about the importance of application rationalization and shifting the way you do development.

The bottom line is if you are not pursuing an aggressive application rationalization strategy, you should be.  As Ranga suggests, you also need to be taking a hard look at how you are doing development.

Stay tuned

Tomorrow, tune in to hear how Intel turns its applications into services.
