The Power of Dependency Modelling

Dependency modelling is a technique that allows you to relate one business asset to another. Our dependency modelling platform is one of the most advanced on the market. We think that this approach is such a fundamental business continuity technique that it is the core to our platform.

One of the most powerful tools for supporting Business Continuity is a method known as Dependency Modelling (DM). Dependency Modelling is a well-established technique for representing the relationships between different business elements. But its not just for Business Impact Analysis, it is fundamental to every aspect of ImpactAware, from Plan Production, Audit Support and Risk Assessment.

When constructing a dependency model an organisation will uncover the relationships within the business and develop a clear understanding of the business elements that represent the greatest risk to business continuity.Dependency Modelling is a simple but incredibly powerful technique. Once a dependency model has been constructed it can be used to rank areas of impact and to apply more sophisticated calculations for risk assessment.
