Application Platform Optimization (APO)
Organizations today are requiring IT to assume a lead role in delivering business value. IT is challenged with delivering mission critical systems on time and under budget while developing an application platform architecture that adapts easily to change. The Microsoft APO is a vendor agnostic assessment that has been developed using industry best practices, customer analysis and the latest IT research. The APO model defines five capabilities that are necessary to build a more agile application platform:
• User Experience
• Business Intelligence
• SOA and Business Process
• Data Management
• Application Development
