AI Platform for IT Decisions
ApplicationRationalizationas a Decision Pack.Not a long-running project.
Arqlee analyzes your application portfolio, identifies savings potential, risks, and redundancies, and turns the results into a traceable Decision Pack: AI-powered, with expert review, clear prioritization, and source-level traceability.
No months of repository maintenance. No tool rollout before the first decision.

Real Arqlee output based on a synthetic example portfolio (Meyer Brandt Components). No customer data, no customer reference, no live scan.
The contradiction in practice
If you want to reduce applications, do not start by introducing the next application.
Arqlee delivers the decision, not the next application.
Comparison
Outcomes in days, not months.
Traditional portfolio analyses take months. Arqlee delivers first solid signals within 48-72 hours and the validated Decision Pack usually in 10-14 days, depending on data readiness and scope. Follow-up runs are much faster.

The platform
See what there is to decide.
Application Rationalization is the platform's first module, available today. Six surfaces take you from raw data to a decision on record.
Real Arqlee output from a synthetic example portfolio (123 applications) — no customer data.

What the run means for your budget
The Outcomes surface condenses the run into the management view: expected savings, run-rate impact and where the potential comes from — every number traceable to its source.

Why Arqlee
Why not just do it yourself?
Three moments where you need to decide today, and three reasons why the classical paths get in the way.
Typical moments
Cost pressure
The CFO wants 10% IT savings: where?
Transformation
Cloud, ERP, or AI: what stays, what goes?
Portfolio complexity
Too many applications, unclear owners, no overall picture.
Tools are too expensive and too cumbersome
Enterprise EA tools cost €50-100K per year. Add 3-6 months of rollout, trained staff, continuous data maintenance, and ongoing updates. You're not buying a tool. You're buying a permanent task.
Internal review is never neutral
Every department fights for their tools, their decisions, their budgets. An internal review is rarely neutral and never fast enough. You need an external, data-driven perspective that evaluates without political consideration.
Traditional projects take too long
Collect data, prepare it, analyze, write a report, prepare the decision. That's a 6-month project. But the board is asking today. You need outcomes, not yet another project setup.
Methodology & Quality
Multi-step analysis
Every run goes through pre-check, diagnosis, and a multi-step analysis — built on industry-proven, action-oriented attributes, with validation gates between the steps.
Data trust, built in
Every assessment carries Data Coverage, Data Confidence, and Data Origin: you see what each recommendation is based on — source, derivation, or estimate.
Expert Review
An Enterprise Architect validates every action before it goes into the Decision Pack.
Board-ready
The result: a Decision Pack (PPTX + Excel) that can go straight to management.
How it works
From scattered raw data to a traceable decision.
Arqlee works with exports or connected data sources. Each application is assessed against traceable criteria: business fit, technical fit, cost, risk, impact, and data trust, with every recommendation traceable to its source.
How Arqlee assesses each application
Business Fit: business criticality, usage, department context, and strategic fit
Technical Fit: hosting, technology, lifecycle, security signals, and technical suitability
Cost & Savings: annual cost, license signals, and defensible savings potential
Risk & Evidence: EOL, redundancy, low usage, compliance, missing ownership, and evidence-backed signals
Decision Frameworks: TIME from Business Fit and Technical Fit; optional 6R for cloud and migration paths
Impact & Data Trust: business impact, implementation complexity, quick wins, confidence, and data provenance
No months of data mapping upfront. Arqlee reads your data as it is and exposes conflicts instead of quietly smoothing them over.
Enterprise & Security
Built for Enterprise. Secure by Design.
Arqlee is built for the requirements of IT organizations. Your data stays in the EU, is processed with encryption, and is not used by Arqlee for training.
No training on your data
Arqlee uses raw data and customer-specific outcomes solely for your engagement, not to train our own models and not for other customers. Benchmarks are created only from anonymized, aggregated patterns; customers can exclude benchmark use by contract.
Encrypted in transit & at rest
Transmitted via TLS, stored encrypted. Decrypted only for the purpose of the analysis.
EU-hosted
App infrastructure and primary data storage in the EU. We prefer Germany where possible, otherwise the EU.
GDPR + DPA
DPA available on request. AI analyses run via selected enterprise APIs with documented safeguards.
Economics
A Baseline Run typically finds more savings potential than it costs.
A consulting project delivers once, at six figures. Building in-house ties up tool licenses and a full-time role for months. Arqlee delivers the same decision quality, repeatably.
Your investment
one-time per runSavings potential
recurring, year after yearYou buy a decision: not data collection, not consulting, not an analysis, not a report. A decision that cuts costs immediately and pays for itself many times over, year after year.
Included in every run:
Pricing
Clear scope. Decision Pack first, platform question second.
Classic EA programs need a data model, training, clarified ownership, and ongoing repository maintenance before decisions become defensible. Arqlee starts with existing portfolio exports and delivers a clearly scoped Baseline Run with Decision Pack and expert review.
Application Rationalization
Available todayCalculated by portfolio scope
Pricing follows the number and depth of applications analyzed, not the size of your internal alignment round or user count.
No rollout before the first decision
Start with existing exports from SAP LeanIX, Excel, or CSV; additional sources such as ServiceNow or Microsoft Intune can be assessed on request. No new data model, training wave, or repository build-up as a prerequisite.
Decision Pack instead of permanent upkeep
One clear run across your application portfolio: prioritized actions, assumptions, limits, and traceability. Repeatable when data or scope changes.
Pricing range on request, based on app scope and data depth.
Capability Assessment
