IT is sick. It’s complicated, it’s chaotic, and it costs way too much. And the sickness is spreading, because every new user, device, server and application makes it worse. Until now. With BDNA’s IT Genome Center, IT organizations can finally sequence the genetics of their IT, diagnose the source of the IT Waste sickness, and move to cure it.
“Content is king.” Those words are as relevant to IT as they are to the Internet. Today’s IT environment is complex. To make meaningful decisions, businesses need up-to-date information on technologies they use, as well as competitive alternatives and potential new areas of investment. Technopedia is the world’s first IT encyclopedia, providing current and relevant content to support strategic decision-making that helps eliminate IT waste.
Businesses run on technology. But often no one knows exactly what technology is deployed, where it resides and how it is used. CIOs lack the insight to plan major data center migrations, guard against audits, leverage existing technologies, or evaluate new technology initiatives in a meaningful way. BDNA Discover creates a trusted, complete record of all IT assets, delivering the transparency and insight necessary to measure and manage the business of IT.
Despite a substantial investment in multiple discovery tools, few IT organizations are able to extract information from them in a manner that helps uncover potential cost overruns and budget waste, and allows them to act. BDNA Normalize increases the return on investment in existing automatic discovery tools by transforming data they create into understandable and actionable information for strategic decision making.
Partial information often leads to guess-work, which in turn can result in bad decision-making. Since some IT information cannot be automatically discovered, and the process of manually finding it is labor-intensive, few organizations know everything there is to know about their IT infrastructure. BDNA Enrich aligns undiscoverable market data with discovered data to provide a complete set of information required to eliminate IT waste.
More than ever before, IT decisions need to be information-driven. Indisputable and easily understood information is required to justify infrastructure investments, procurement decisions, product lifecycle assessments and more. BDNA Publish enables organizations to pull reliable, structured BDNA information into third party applications, in order to help them make IT cost-cutting decisions.
The free BDNA Normalization Pilot provides clients with a quick look at the value provided by normalizing existing Microsoft SMS/SCCM data with Technopedia. This document describes the three-step process to perform the pilot.
