FAQ

I received an Ardoq Survey. What should I do?

Ardoq uses surveys as a way to keep data up to date. Different surveys are used to gather data. If you have questions about how to complete the survey, please reach out to the team by filling out the Ardoq Inquiry Form below.

What is Application Rationalization?

Application Rationalization is a framework to examine our IT application portfolio(s) consistently and empower us to answer ‘as is’ questions “in an easily digestible, factual form to drive discussions and prioritize options.”* It helps us identify opportunities to reduce IT risk and complexity as well as eliminate unnecessary functional overlaps.
