Keys to Successful Documentation
Managed process to fully document application flows
Link views through single data source Use the right tools to support the
documentation process Diagramming and visualization Application and data flows Change request system Collaboration system
Without Visio 2007 Professional
Issue: Application architecture flow is unclear Difficult to get a clear view of
Software components for specific applications Hardware that supports the software components Interfaces and databases used by applications
Related flows are duplicated and out of synch Diagrams drawn in applications not well
suited to the need Word PowerPoint Other drawing or illustration programs

Problems Changes to an application can affect others
Data are not updated as expected Reports become unreliable Business operations may be jeopardized
Upgrades driven by changes not identified Hardware and software updates may be required Application may not work properly Performance may deteriorate Business operations may be jeopardized
With Visio 2007 Professional
Solution: Application flows and dependencies clearly documented and managed
Data Graphics display data clearly Application Software versions Server configurations Connections between objects
Pivot diagrams produce visual reports Related flows hyperlinked as “drill downs” Visual information refreshed from linked data
Connected Information
Pivot View: Applications by
Servers
View Application Configurations
Pivot View: Applications by Departments
Link to central system database
Consolidate Application Views
Hyperlink to other local and remote files
Data Graphics show Application/Version and data bandwidth
With Visio 2007 Professional
Benefits All application and architecture views linked to
central system database Generate a variety of useful views with little effort Views reflect consistent data
Identify software and hardware dependencies Required updates enable applications to work properly Performance is optimized Minimize impact of changes on business operations
Enable smoother implementation of new and upgraded applications
