Enterprise Application Audit

By Joseph Hunkins at May 02, 2008 0 Comments

If you are managing an enterprise application, especially one that has a significant online presence, it is a good idea to regularly review new applications and innovations that may solve current problems or lower your costs on existing solutions.

One example of a resource to bookmark is Google’s Enterprise Application list where you’ll find several partners who have deployed solutions for Google Apps. Several of these partners have very robust applications for communication, emailing, and data integration that take advantage of Google’s powerful and free to very low cost programs.

Another bookmark for those considernig or working on Microsoft platforms is Microsoft’s Patterns and Practices Website which offers examples of a variety of Enterprise solutions using MS systems and applications.

However perhaps the strongest way to audit your Enterprise is to simply take a few minutes to list each of the key challenges you are facing, articulate them carefully so you can form a very targeted query, and then simply take some time to search online. Ideally you’ll find *people* who have solved this problem and get them to share their experiences if they have not already written about their solution, but you’ll also hopefully run into new or revised applications that can help.
