Dennis Drogseth, VP at Enterprise Management Associates (EMA), has recently posted a three-part series on APMdigest discussing parts of his book, CMDB Systems: Making Change Work in the Age of Cloud and Agile. The third post is titled, 6 Key Points of ADDM Evaluation, and he offers a concise checklist when evaluating and investing in Application Discovery and Dependency Mapping (ADDM).

 His six points are labeled:

1.       Deployability

2.       Agent or Agentless

3.       Scalability

4.       Functional Power and Outreach

5.       Currency

6.       Domain breadth

You can read his full descriptions of each of the six points here. I think it’s a great read for anyone considering an ADDM investment.
