Basic mapping of BarometerIT fields to Application Master Data.

Note: Since BarometerIT allows custom fields not all organizations use the same taxonomy.

BIT ID or BarometerNO should align with the infra datasets.

"Owning Org" and "Supports Org" info can be found in Barometer and can be used to allocate costs to the BU however, some organizations may choose to use a separate mapping table.

This is great information, thank you Team Allstate!  For those doing research, it looks like barometerIT was acquired by Changepoint in April 2015.

 

Am I correct in concluding that you are mapping these headers to the Applications Master Data dataset? Would you happen to have the mapping list that you could post?

 

Do you also get data from barometerIT that helps to map costs into apps (e.g. infra to app mappings) or out of apps (e.g. to services)?

 

Thanks for your contribution to the greater good!
