Business Service Mapping
Business service mapping is a strategic process that provides a comprehensive view of how an organization’s IT infrastructure supports its business services and operations. It involves mapping the relationships between various IT components (e.g., servers, networks, applications) and the business services they enable. This process allows businesses to visualize dependencies, identify critical assets, and optimize resource allocation. By leveraging business service mapping, companies can enhance decision-making, ensure seamless service delivery, and proactively mitigate risks related to service disruptions.

The purpose of business service mapping is to provide organizations with a clear and comprehensive understanding of how their IT infrastructure supports key business processes.
