4. High TCO for managing application and data infrastructure,
complex management and security across applications
Low user productivity due to lack of integrated user experience,
collaboration and access to related content; lacking analytics
Complex implementations and upgrades due to code
customizations, brittle connections between applications
Application Challenges
6. The Path to Maximizing Value
