In my last column, I discussed the importance of Application Discovery and Dependency Mapping (ADDM) as a tremendously valuable resource for managing and optimizing application and business services, as well as the IT infrastructures, and supporting them, in the age of cloud, agile, and consumer-driven IT. In this column, I'm going to delve more closely into our evaluation criteria — as they applied to the radar, but also as they might apply to you in making an investment choice in ADDM ...
Don’t get me wrong, this isn't a political statement. Applications don't care if you are a Republican or a Democrat. They don't care if they were created in Canada or India, or if they are written in Ruby, Java or .NET. And the bottom line is that I don't care either — because the real problem behind the site's performance problems is dead simple — lack of testing ...

As Yogi Berra once said: "It ain't over 'til it's over." It ain't over until you've presented your results. More times than I can count, I've been told I have an hour to present my findings and then, at the last minute, have found out that “The Boss is running late” and I'm either being bumped from the schedule altogether or cut back to a small fraction of the time I was originally allotted ...

Application Discovery and Dependency Mapping (ADDM) may sound arcane — and sadly to some extent it still remains so. The notion of actively discovering application and infrastructure interdependencies for their impacts on service delivery, is still sometimes a combination of technological wizardry, domain expertise and sheer force of will.
