Functional vs Technical Fit Analysis (Gartner TIME)

The Functional vs Technical Fit analysis is a quadrant chart which is based on the idea of the Gartner TIME analysis. The chart places each application into one of the four sections: Tolerate, Invest, Migrate, Eliminate. The position is determined by placing each application at the intersection of these two scores.
