Know what is connected before you make a change.
Modern systems rarely exist on their own. A change to an application
can affect a report, a dataset, an API or a downstream process without
the people making the change having the full picture. Asset Navigator
helps your teams understand these relationships before they become a
problem.
Developers can understand dependencies, project managers can assess
the potential impact of changes, and business analysts can see where
business information comes from and where it is used.
The result is less time spent trying to piece together information and
more confidence when planning, changing or documenting your systems.
Everything you need to understand your asset landscape.
| Feature | Description | Why it helps? |
|---|---|---|
| Asset Mapping | Create a clear inventory of the assets that make up your environment, including applications, reports, datasets, data lakes, databases, APIs, flows and other components. | Your teams get a shared view of what exists instead of relying on scattered documentation or individual knowledge. |
| Impact Analysis | Follow the relationships between assets to understand how a change in one part of your environment may affect other assets. | Before changing an application, dataset or report, your team can see what may be affected and make better-informed decisions. |
| Visual Connections | Explore relationships between assets through a visual view of connected systems and components | Complex relationships are easier to understand when you can see them instead of trying to interpret long lists of dependencies. |
| API | Use the Asset Navigator API to add assets and create links between assets automatically from your own tools and processes. | Your teams can keep Asset Navigator up to date without having to enter every asset and relationship manually. |
| Search & Navigation | Find assets quickly and navigate through their connected relationships to understand where they fit within your environment. | Reduce time looking for information and more time can be spent understanding and acting on it. |
| Shared Understanding | Give developers, project managers and business analysts access to the same view of your asset landscape. | Everyone works from the same information, reducing the gap between technical teams and the people who depend on their systems. |
Built for your team
| For | Perspective |
|---|---|
| Developers | Understand dependencies before making changes and quickly see which applications, APIs, databases, datasets or reports are connected. |
| Project Managers | Get a clearer picture of the potential impact of projects and changes without relying entirely on individual team members to explain the current landscape. |
| Architects | Get an accurate, up-to-date view of the technical landscape across business units and regions, to assess reuse, avoid duplicate builds, and ensure new solutions align with the broader enterprise architecture. |
| Business Analysts | Understand where information comes from, how it moves through systems and which reports or business processes depend on it. |
Designed to grow with you
Asset Navigator is designed to help you build a useful picture of your
asset landscape without requiring a large implementation project.
You can add assets manually or use the API to integrate Asset Navigator
with your own processes. The platform can evolve as your needs grow,
allowing you to build a more complete view of your environment over
time.
