Seeing the Big Picture (3 x A0 size)
This document helps the IT Manager to communicate to the Board and to other department Heads about how the IT Department supports the business. Within the IT department it is also used as the primary Operations document, underpinning all project decisions.

Stroma^® enables you to show as much or as little complexity as you wish.

Impact Analysis (A0 size)
This B&IT shows the impact of the failure of a network infrastructure component on a department spread across three geographical locations.

Stroma^® lets you ask the question ‘What would be the impact on the business if x failed?’ You can select any element(s) and immediately see and analyse the business, financial and technical ramifications of its outage.

Visualising your Enterprise (A0 size)
Operations in diverse geographical locations can be easily represented and communicated on a B&IT diagram. In this example a Business Analyst in an American bio-tech company has built a diagram for the Board. The whole enterprise is shown and coloured according to city office location.

Illustrating Dataflows (A0 Extended size)
Stroma^® enables you to create dataflows between elements. In this example a Business Analyst uses the B&IT as a discussion document to emphasise to his manager the importance of a dataflow between two servers.

Project Approval (A4 size)
This B&IT diagram is a proposal from an IT Manager, seeking approval for consolidation of IT infrastructure equipment. It clearly communicates to all the affected stakeholders the impact of the proposed changes.

The diagram enables various business managers to clearly understand why the proposal could be beneficial to the organisation. It also provides the means for them to raise and easily communicate any concerns they may have about the proposed change.

Built in fifteen minutes (A3 size)
Stroma^® is quick and easy to use – an experienced user built this B&IT in fifteen minutes using elements already existing in other B&ITs. Once created in the model an element can be used multiple times across multiple diagrams, always maintaining its relationships and updating to conform to any changes to the model.

Multiple levels of elements can be displayed within each OBASHI™ layer. In this example four levels of applications are shown. Stroma^® can illustrate even the most complex of relationships between business and IT resources.

Snip and Paste
The Stroma^® Tablet System enables you to ‘snip’ any part of a B&IT diagram and paste it into many other applications as an image. Key information can be communicated via email, MSN Messenger (whiteboard) or copied into any Windows-based document.
