Create and maintain an authoritative inventory of systems, applications, platforms, and services with clear ownership and criticality so the business can make faster, better-informed decisions.

An authoritative inventory helps answer basic but high-impact questions: What do we run? Who owns it? How critical is it? What depends on it?

Outcomes

  • Reduced “unknown asset” risk and clearer accountability
  • Faster impact analysis for change, outages, and incidents
  • Better prioritization of investment, remediation, and modernization
  • Improved compliance reporting through clearer scope and ownership

Typical scope

  • Systems, applications, platforms, and infrastructure components
  • Ownership, support model, and lifecycle status
  • Service criticality and recovery expectations
  • Key third-party dependencies (SaaS, managed services)

GenAI-enabled execution

Agents can help reconcile inventory sources, identify inconsistencies, propose owners for orphan assets, and draft stakeholder updates—guardrailed by authoritative sources and human confirmation before ownership changes.
