Our Application Understanding solution solves these challenges by providing your application development team a centralised interactive documentation repository with a wealth of useful information about your applications. Our Application Understanding tool helps overcome many of the IT difficulties your team faces every day, and enables them to manage, maintain or modernise your application portfolio more efficiently.
