In one aspect, the intelligent application management system 430 of FIG. 4 may compute/determine an aggregate number of an amount of relevant data files (e.g., documents), records, or software components in relation to the software application and assign a confidence score (e.g., weighted values) for ranking the software applications as potential candidates for decommission. Those of the software applications that having a lower total ranking/score (e.g., with limited or no relevant data files (e.g., documents), records, or software components) compared with those of the software applications that having a higher total ranking/score may be identified as potential decommissioning opportunities (e.g., software application decommission candidate).
