A model of efficiency

Based on proven models and backed by a support service crucial to maintaining your assets

Models

Business layer

Data layer

Functional layer

Application layer

Technical layer

Business layer

The business layer provides a representation of the organization and business processes. Our model relies on classic modeling standards for processes (BPMN). We integrate concepts of organizational units and business roles for the organization model.

Data layer

This layer addresses data modeling (description of the business objets, break down in facets and links between entities), data governance (application roles: master, contributor, distributor…) as well as data propagation (via links with application flows that transport the data).

Functional layer

The functional layer provides a map of functions and data organized in areas called business areas. These functions define or manipulate transactional and reference data.

Application layer

The application layer describes how functional concepts are instanciated in IT applications. 
Here we identify applications, how they are instantiated based on the organization, the data they manage, the functions they provide and the flows or services that link them together.

 

Technical layer

The purpose of this layer is to describe the technical architecture of applications and the infrastructure. It shows the underlying technology and resources powering IT systems:

  • Hardware and physical components (datacenter, servers, storage, network),
  • Middleware components (databased, application servers, etc.),

Our model is inspired by the Service Oriented Infrastructure model which represents technical and organizational means supporting an application as services.

And much more…

An extensible tool, constantly evolving

IT Live Maps is not limited to these five layers. It is customizable and extensible according to your preferences, needs and stakes. We are available to assess your specific needs and make the adequate proposal.

Several models are currently under development: organization, configuration management, project portfolio management, detailed infrastructure…

Impact analysis, in-depth understanding

Beyond horizontal analysis within a single layer, a key benefit is to understand problems end-to-end, from processes to applications to servers.

IT Live Maps is designed to enable the most relevant perspective-based analysis, whether horizontal or transversal, depending on the objectives:

  • Audit of a specific layer
  • Master plan
  • Obsolescence analysis based on asset inventory

in 7 features

Live diagrams
Generated cards
dynamically
Personnalized views
A collaborative tool
Intuitive navigation
Modern web client
Personalized representations
Live diagrams

Dynamic views allow data to be explored from different perspectives: time, projects, various object characteristics, etc.

Generated cards dynamically

No manual diagramming, data is the foundation of all views : what you see always stays consistent with the data.

Personnalized views

Views are generated based on customizable rules (colors, shapes, labels, etc.)

A collaborative tool

Data can be updated collaboratively in the tool or loaded from Excel, but can always be exported for reversibility purposes.

Intuitive navigation

Navigation is an integral part of the model and its implementation. It is possible to navigate both horizontally within a modeling layer and vertically between layers.

Modern web client

The IT Live Maps solution is highly customizable and extensible, with many additionnal features such as reporting, etc.

Personalized representations

Easy to access and to deploy, directly from the browser with SSO integration.
