Change Decision Support
Change Decision Support that includes Change Management, Governance, Audit and Business Impact Analysis across all layers of the business domain.
Change Decision Support (“CDS”) incorporates four core components within an evolving business landscape.
- Change Control -
The means by which changes to the environment can be identified and/or proposed, authorised and implemented. - Business Impact Analysis -
The impact of the change on the organization and its ability to ensure business continuity. - Ownership -
The authorisation and shared knowledge of the change across the organization. - Audit -
The ability to record and track all changes, authorizations, implementations and user acceptances.
Traditional Change Management Systems invariably delivered a record of events without the knowledge of the ownership or business impact. At the foundation of The ADaM Framework is Change Decision Support which combines these four fundamental principals so that the organisation can better improve it’s Business Continuity and reduce its operational risk. A system that does not combine these four core disciplines leads to a higher risk of operational outages.
As a fully automated dependency analysis manager the ADaM Framework provides effective Change Decision Support along with authorization, audit trail and archival functions that greatly improves business continuity across the organizations landscape.
Once the ADaM universe is populated, the layered business environment can be simulated and maintained.
The Universe can be interrogated via a
‘Top Down’ or
‘Bottom Up’ approach to both document and visualise the Layered Business Landscape.
Additional modules within the ADaM Framework support the reporting of the various aspects of the landscape in tabular format and via a schematic generator.
The simulation allows an organisation to:
- Maintain a Knowledge Base of the multi layered Landscape
- Create a Management Tool for improving business continuity
- Provide multilayered Risk Analysis
- Promote Effective Communication and Approval across the business owners on the multiple layers of the organization
- Create Corporate standard layered Schematics
- Produce Full Compliance and Audit Control reports
