SOFTWARE

CONSOLIDATION

Consolidate, optimize, and integrate

software applications for increased 1

efficiency and standardization.

Augusta’s business operations
require the use of hundreds of
software applications and tools.
Such a large application portfolio
is challenging and expensive for
IT to maintain. The goal of
software consolidation is to
streamline business processes
and merge or integrate software
systems whenever possible.

Successful consolidation results
in improved workforce productivi-
ty – users need to interact with
fewer systems and can use them
more effectively. Data is easily
shared between integrated appli-
cations, which saves time and
reduces errors. Consolidation
can also save money for Augusta
by reducing costs for server
hardware, licensing fees, and
administrative overhead.
