Ardoq Review

IT Architecture Management

Ardoq provides you with a better way to gain actionable insights into your entire IT landscape or architecture. It allows you to import Excel spreadsheets into the platform so you can input all the important data you need about your IT architecture. Ardoq then enables you to create a model of the IT architecture based on the entered data. This model shows all the applications you have and how they are connected to the processes, people, and data in the organization.

The model helps you assess the performance of applications included in your IT architecture. Applications are scored based on how they are meeting technical standards and requirements and functioning in accordance with your business goals. 

Since you can discover the interconnection between applications, processes, people, and data; it’s now easy for you to come up with the right decisions. For example, you can find out if eliminating certain applications can streamline specific business processes, improve the flow of data throughout the organization, or lower your IT costs.

Ardoq also enables you to use data fields so you can capture and calculate information related to specific factors you want to consider when conducting dependency analysis.
