Optimyth Software is a company that specialises in portfolio management, quality and performance of software assets. It has recently added to its portfolio a new solutions concept, that it has named MMS (Merge Management Solution). Optimyth Software’s recent experience with large migrations, mergers and acquisition projects has lead them to add this solution to their portfolio.
The MMS offers a set of specific services that undertakes all the necessary tasks needed during the merger, acquisition and migration processes. The solution uses Optimyth’s own technology: the software solution checKing AIM.
The ultimate goal of MMS, is to define and objectively implement a Systems and Applications strategy capable of supporting and defining the services of the new enterprise’s configuration. Migrating components from various corporations can be costly and time-consuming. Optimyth’s solution aims to make the process as painless as possible and to do it in a reasonable time period and at the lowest possible cost.
Some of the key tasks for success are:
- To know automatically the inventory of software assets that reflects each software component developed and maintained by each organisation.
- To map the applications, services, objects and business transactions.
- To identify the duplicated and usable software assets of each organisation and to eliminate, develop or adapt them.
- To select and verify the reference architecture.
- To label and model the functional and organisational software components of the map obtained in order to make the most objective and agile decisions and impact analysis.
Optimyth Software has developed a scalable model that ranges from giving initial advice focused on facilitating the asset inventories of the merging organisations, up to a global project that offers the necessary recommendations and mediation between the client and the suppliers of development or maintenance.
