IT Consolidation
What? Where? How? When? – Fundamental questions when rationalizing an environment. SAMU can help you to find the answers and manage restructuring.
| Main challenges | How can SAMU help? |
|---|---|
| Gain a structured view of the Enterprise | SAMU provides a repository of your enterprise architecture objects in the structure you define in your meta-model. |
| Compare apple to apple | To identify similar objects and to compare them is not easy in heterogeneous environments. With SAMU, you can create one unified model of your diverse organization, which helps you to recognize, to map and eventually to compare objects better. |
| Drill down | SAMU allows you to start from a bird's-eye view and drill down in details. You can also build reports that show the immediate and broader environment of the object of investigation, on all architecture layers including business, application, information and hardware. |
| Study possible impacts of change | The flexible meta-modeling capabilities of SAMU make it possible to model any type of relationship between objects. The reporting engine allows building dynamic views with display rules to show exactly the information you are seeking. |
| Enhance communication between IT and business | Reports can visualize the complex environment in a focused, straight-forward manner. This improves understanding and enhances communication between departments to a great extent. |
| Trigger change | Having identified the objects of consolidation in your AS-IS environment, TO-BE objects can be registered in the system. SAMU Human Workflow then lets you start the change procedures that transform your environment into the desired state. |
