You can order a business application for your enterprise like any other service catalog item and register it as a new application in the application portfolio.

Enterprise Architecture integrates with Service Catalog to create a service catalog category called Business Application Lifecycle Management Services.

Use this service catalog category to request and register a business application in Enterprise Architecture. As you on-board a new application into the Enterprise Architecture inventory, the machine-learning business application solution predicts and suggests an appropriate category for the application. For more information, see Predictive Intelligence for Application Portfolio Management.

Furthermore, you can also use this service catalog category to request a review of a technology change in the business application with the IT Architecture Review Board.

You can also use the business application lifecycle management service catalog to decommission an application that you no longer require. Proper decommissioning of an application takes care of:

  • Archival of data generated when the application was in use.
  • Uninstall all related software that the application depended on.
  • Removal of any hardware dependency for the software.
