This slidecast presentation examines data from the Consumer Expenditure Survey to determine the types of expenditures that home owners with a mortgage incur related to their housing situation, when compared with renter households. The results suggest a number of hidden expenditures that should give new home buyers pause when contemplating such an important decision. The costs are even more pronounced for low- and moderate-income populations entering home ownership. [Note: CEX data on slide 12 is quarterly, not monthly]

Observability Concepts EVERY Developer Should Know -- DeveloperWeek Europe.pdfPaige Cruz
Monitoring and observability aren’t traditionally found in software curriculums and many of us cobble this knowledge together from whatever vendor or ecosystem we were first introduced to and whatever is a part of your current company’s observability stack.
While the dev and ops silo continues to crumble….many organizations still relegate monitoring & observability as the purview of ops, infra and SRE teams. This is a mistake - achieving a highly observable system requires collaboration up and down the stack.
I, a former op, would like to extend an invitation to all application developers to join the observability party will share these foundational concepts to build on:

Flexera Software Application Discovery and Normalization Services
1. In recent years, enterprises such as yours have
experienced enormous growth in the number
of business applications that must be managed
efficiently and made readily available to users.
The job is complicated by an increasing number
of users, a diversity of application types and,
in many organizations, multiple versions of
each application.
If you’re now facing a migration to Windows 7 or
8, adopting System Center Configuration Manager
2012 or launching a desktop and/or associated
application virtualization project, it’s more important
than ever to get a handle on your application
portfolio. The success of any of these undertakings
depends on your ability to:
• Identify the applications in your environment
• Understand which applications are used
on a regular basis
• Identify opportunities to consolidate
application versions, such as Adobe Reader 8,
9 and 10
• Reduce redundant software capabilities,
such as Winzip and 7Zip
Flexera Software’s Application Discovery and
Normalization Services offering is geared toward
helping you achieve these critical goals. With the
help of our expert consultants, you can build a
definitive master list of applications that becomes
the focus of Windows and systems management
solution migrations as well as application
virtualization efforts.
Application Discovery and Normalization
Services Highlights
The Application Discovery and Normalization
engagement is led by a senior or principal
Flexera Software consultant who is well versed
in Windows migrations, adoption of new
system management solutions and application
virtualization. The engagement entails a brief
requirements gathering session to help determine
the breadth of the project, including the number
of applications, existing application repositories
and physical locations, as well as the scope of
the overall effort.
The engagement then moves into the formal
data gathering, analysis and master portfolio
list build-out phases. The end result of the
engagement is a definitive master application
list that has been fully rationalized and that
positions IT to successfully migrate to Windows 7
or 8, adopt System Center Configuration
Manager 2012 or meet enterprise goals for
application virtualization.
Flexera Software Application Discovery and
Normalization Services is part of Flexera Software’s
Customer Value Methodology which focuses on
customer value and business outcomes over the
entire lifecycle (figure 1). Managing application
usage across the software lifecycle is important to
ensure your ability to maximize value with high-
value solutions that have been built out over the
years with successful customer deployments. This
methodology uses the Flexera Software Application
Usage Management (AUM) Success Framework
(figure 2). The Success Framework leverages industry
best practices to understand organizational maturity
and possible gaps.

3. Application Discovery and Normalization Services
Objectives
The Application Discovery and Normalization engagement has several key objectives:
• To accelerate through simplification your migration to Window 7 or Windows 8
• To help you manage and simplify System Center Configuration Manager 2012 infrastructure upgrades or migrations
• To create a consolidated master list to streamline ongoing management of your application portfolio
• To simplify application virtualization technology adoption efforts for more efficient management
Delivery Approach
This interactive engagement integrates:
• An information gathering and identification phase during which list(s) of installed applications within the customer
environment are collected for analysis
• A normalization analysis of the application inventory to identify redundancies and obsolete versions for possible
consolidation or retirement; the resulting list is vetted against Flexera Software’s extensive Application Recognition Library
• A final analysis of the normalized list to identify certified platforms and upgradeable versions
• Delivery of the final compiled and normalized master application list to the customer
Timeline
An Application Discovery and Normalization engagement is typically a two-week engagement when existing software inventory
sources are complete and easily accessible. Flexera Software consultants schedule a project scoping call to fully map out the
work effort and identify the players involved, enabling them to develop a time frame.
Deliverables
• The final normalized master application list in Excel format with extensive information for each software title identified
• Related support documentation
Related Offerings
