The ADaM Framework
- Meeting the needs of Operational Risk Management & Business Continuity
The Automated Dependency analysis Manager (“ADaM”) is an enterprise dependency analysis framework that identifies and controls the relationships and interdependencies that exist within complex business installations. The ADaM Framework assigns each Business Process, the Resources and the Technology upon which it depends with attributes that relate to their importance in the business process and the relationships/dependencies to other elements within the corporate infrastructure.
A matrix of these dependencies is created by mapping the entire Business landscape into a known ‘universe’.
The ADaM Framework maintains this ‘universe’ by imposing a deployment control methodology and communicating all change requests to business and IT owners through alert, audit and authorization mechanisms.
By highlighting the business importance and dependency links prior to the deployment process, disruptions and business risk can be both controlled and predicted.
