ClearSight: Data-Driven Decisions for IT Transformation

Asset Profile

Focus: IT Landscape Discovery & Cloud Transformation Planning Model: Managed Asset (Professional Service by Capgemini)

Overview

ClearSight — Data-Driven Decisions for IT Transformation

Organizations often face fragmented data, complex application landscapes, unclear modernization paths, and pressure to optimize costs and improve sustainability. Without a factual, end-to-end view of the IT estate, decisions rely on assumptions — increasing risk, delaying transformation, and limiting business impact.

ClearSight establishes a fact-based view of the current IT landscape, enabling confident, data-driven transformation planning.

Typical Fit Criteria

The asset is ideally suited and will deliver its greatest impact under the following conditions:

• Limited Transparency Across Application Landscape: The customer lacks end-to-end visibility into their application portfolio, including dependencies, usage, costs, and business value.
• Need for Data-Driven Decision Making: Strategic decisions (e.g., modernization, consolidation, or decommissioning) require a fact-based, tool-supported assessment rather than expert judgment alone.
• Fragmented or Siloed Information Sources: Application-related data is dispersed across multiple systems (e.g., CMDB, monitoring tools, financial systems) and requires consolidation into a single source of truth.
• Application Portfolio Optimization Pressure: The organization is under pressure to reduce IT costs, improve efficiency, or eliminate redundancies within the application landscape.
• Cloud or Transformation Initiative: The customer is planning or executing a cloud migration, modernization, or digital transformation program that requires a clear understanding of the current state.
• Need for Automated Discovery & Insights: Manual data collection is not feasible due to scale or complexity, and automated discovery and analytics are required.
• Stakeholder Alignment Challenges: Multiple stakeholders (IT, business, finance) require a common, transparent view to align on priorities and roadmap decisions.
• Continuous Portfolio Governance Required: The customer aims to establish an ongoing capability for application portfolio management rather than a one-time assessment.
