Pareto mapping of your information system
Mapping your entire IT landscape is a project without an end. This white paper shows how to focus the effort on the assets that carry most of the stakes, instead of chasing exhaustiveness.
A Pareto map instead of an endless inventory
Mapping the information system is a lever for resilience and for steering transformations. Yet the exercise is often seen as complex and time-consuming, to the point of never being finished.
This white paper offers a method based on the Pareto principle (80/20): map the roughly 20% of assets that carry about 80% of the stakes first, to structure your organisation quickly and support your decisions.
Why exhaustiveness kills your mapping project
The classic reflex: inventory every application, every server, every flow, then start drawing. Months later, the inventory is still not finished, the first data collected is already stale and the sponsors have moved on.
The Pareto principle applied to IT says something else. A minority of assets concentrates most of the stakes: your critical applications, their dependencies, the data they exchange. That is where migration, compliance and budget decisions are made. The white paper walks through this approach: define the critical scope, map it first, then extend the effort without ever blocking decision-making.
