Uniting Care shifts application management from spreadsheets to the cloud
Summary
It wasnt until last December when Uniting Care worked with Citadel to carry out a four-week proof of value using LeanIX did the organisation gain visibility of its application portfolio for the first time. Before, youd be spending hours just to produce a spreadsheet to provide a report back to the leadership team about what our actual risk is in any one of those areas." While Francis admitted there was still a long way to go as Uniting Care still does not have a complete picture of how many applications it has in its portfolio, he believes what has been done so far is a vast improvement from the systems that were in place previously. Some of the next steps for Uniting Care, Francis said, will be to integrate its business process repository with its application portfolio and adopt a self-service model for its 17,000 employees. "Thats a big journey that were just about to start but because weve got so much VMware onboarding in our datacentre today, its really a great lift and shift approach for us to get to the cloud, and really adopt in time or optimise into those services as we go forward," Francis said.
