Problems we solve

Data Variety - BDNA takes data from multiple systems, each using different conventions to describe the same item, into a common language understood by all systems. Moreover, BDNA filters and compresses millions of rows of data to present only relevant data
for analysis.

• Examples

  Variety

  • The CMDB and procurement systems are integrated but product names of tens of thousands IT assets do not match. What if there was a uniform way to identify IT assets across your repositories?
  
  • Microsoft SCCM repository has millions of rows of data but only a small subset is relevant, the rest is low level noise. What if you could automatically filter data to the most relevant set?

Complexity - BDNA seamlessly appends curated market data to IT systems leading to simpler and richer data analysis. Eliminate complex, time consuming and error prone manual assimilation of market data into your IT systems.

• Examples

  Complexity

  • A Windows 7 migration requires Windows 7 compatibility data for thousands of software titles. What if this information can be automatically appended to any system used for Windows 7 migration analysis.
  
  • A data center consolidation initiative needs knowledge of the form factor and power requirements of current and new systems. These must be matched with 32/64 bit compatibility data for applications that will run on it. What if you could automatically accomplish this complex alignment of key market data.

Change - Application integrations depend on stability of key data that links applications. Any change to this connecting data ripples through multiple application integrations. BDNA automatically normalizes data that connects systems into a common language to ensure stable application integrations.

• Examples

  Change

  • A vendor’s new software version uses slightly different terminology, invalidating integrations across multiple tools. What if you are insulated from these unanticipated changes, across thousands of software that feed IT systems?
  
  • A project to switch to ServiceNow requires a connecting data from existing help desk to ServiceNow. What if you could automatically align the terminology across these two systems thus minimizing impact to existing integrations.
