Stroma^® Introduction

Stroma^® is a fully scalable enterprise software that puts IT in a business context

Stroma^® captures and fully documents IT, and creates a computer model of the relationships between business and IT assets and the data that flows through each asset.

Today, organisations rely on complex IT infrastructures in which resources are employed in parallel by, and in support of, a number of business activities.

This complexity means that until now it has been almost impossible to fully document, analyse, understand, and communicate the relationships between business activities and IT resources.

There is an obvious need for a simple, clear and logical way to visualise the alignment of business activities with IT resources and dataflows.

By using intelligent Business and IT diagrams (B&ITs), Stroma^® allows business and IT professionals to easily understand this alignment and its associated operational and financial impacts.

At the heart of the software is the Stroma^® Modeller. It acts as an interactive interface between you and the model and enables you to build, edit, format, report and print B&ITs.

Add-on modules available include: Dataflow, ISO 20000, Agent Free Asset Management and IT Maintenance Spares.

Stroma^® employs a simple methodology called OBASHI™ to show the ‘big picture’ of the business/IT relationship.

Stroma^® is a tool for IT professionals. It allows them to describe, and analyse, how IT resources are deployed in support of business activities and how data flows through the business.

Stroma^® is a tool for Business professionals. It allows them to understand how IT resources are aligned with, and support, business activities and how data flows through the business.

Like architects and engineers using blueprints and Piping & Instrumentation diagrams, Business and IT professionals can use Stroma^® B&IT diagrams to capture, maintain, view, analyse, and communicate the alignment of IT resources with business activities.

Business and IT can now talk the same language.
