Your application portfolio, decision‑ready in weeks.
AustreLander connects business strategy to the technology that runs it: what you have, what it really costs, what to keep, what to cut, and how IT should be organised to deliver.
EVC in 80 seconds
What the Enterprise Value Chain shows a business, using a fictional company.
Why we built EVC
Strategy is written at the top. Technology is managed at the bottom. The two rarely meet.
In more than 20 years as an enterprise architect and technology strategist, I kept meeting the same challenge: the capability model, application portfolio, IT operating model, governance and roadmap built largely by hand, every time.
The facts sit in spreadsheets, the people who know them are too busy for surveys, and nobody can say what a capability, or the technology behind it, really costs. EVC, Enterprise Value Chain, is the tool built to fix that.
What it does for your business
Ten ways EVC pays for itself
Spend less
- 01Cut duplicate software spendFinds where several applications do the same job, with a savings range for retiring them.
- 02See what each capability costsSpend shown by business capability, so it is challenged by value, not cut blind.
- 03Stop paying for software nobody ownsUnowned systems and upcoming renewals flagged before contracts roll over.
Decide better
- 04Risk shown where it mattersUnsupported products and weak systems, against the business function they put at risk.
- 05Invest in the right things firstEvery initiative tied to a business objective, costed and sequenced on a roadmap.
- 06A better-shaped IT organisationToday against the target, what to keep in-house and what to partner, with the budget effect first.
- 07Savings that stay savedNew purchases go through standards and an architecture review board.
Move faster
- 08Weeks, not monthsOwners confirm their own facts from a link in minutes, so reviews finish fast.
- 09One live recordOne current picture for every budget, renewal and audit, not a spreadsheet that dates on delivery.
- 10Ready for mergers and auditsKnow which technology supports each part of the business, and what it costs.
