Vendor Application Governance Scorecard

Sample Report

What is this report about?

This sample report includes priority insights and actions for governing custom software applications delivered by vendors to optimize application health, cloud maturity, open source risks, and green impact.

Why this report helps manage vendors?

Only 39% of leading companies are successful in managing their software application vendors*. Limited insight into software application code results in production issues and inhibits vendor accountability. How do you govern what you cannot see and answer fundamental questions like:

  • Which critical applications are most likely to go down in production?
  • Where might there be open source legal or security exposure?
  • How can we best reduce our ‘bad’ technical debt?
  • Which applications are better suited for cloud?
  • What are the best opportunities to reduce costs?
  • How much obsolete technology is being used?
  • Is our software getting greener year over year?
What’s included in this sample report?

This document is a sample of automatically generated intelligence about a portfolio of 17 applications managed by a vendor.

Key insights in this report include:

  • Specific recommendations on how to optimize software maintenance costs, application resiliency, and technical debt
  • Specific recommendations on how to modernize each application to be cloud native
  • Specific recommendations on how to reduce open source risks
  • Specific recommendations on how to make software greener

CAST Highlight was used to produce the intelligence in a few hours by automatically analyzing the source code and completing a few survey questions for each application.
