As part of our Technopedia - ARL crosswalk quality initiative, we have come up with a scalable process of adding applications and their mappings to the crosswalk based on the shared installer evidence mapped across ARL and Technopedia.
Impact
These changes will impact all customers who use both Data Platform and FNMSandtake advantage of either the crosswalk table in Data Platform or the crosswalk report in FNMS.
With respect to the new process, we are readying a new batch of crosswalk which contains the following changes:
31k+ new mappings (covering 24.8K+ distinct applications) will be added, enhancing the coverage of our crosswalk by about 12%
74k+ mappings are being updated (covering 27K+ distinct applications) to be consistent with the evidence mappings
21.9K+ existing mappings (covering 13.4K+ distinct applications) have been identified to be of low quality, therefore will be deleted. These mappings will be added back in the future after remediation activities.
Apart from the above changes, the current 226k+ mappings remain unchanged.
Please find the details of these changes in the attached spreadsheet.
These changes are going to be part of11th April 2023Technopedia catalog release.
When Data Platform and FNMS are being referred to, just to double check this does not apply to the Flexera One versions (IT Visibility and IT Assets) being top of my mind.
@bmaudlin - right, the "crosswalk table" and "crosswalk report" in Data Platform and FNMS referred to in this post are not available or applicable to Flexera One ITV and ITAM.
The columns in the attached spreadsheet with blue headings are showing data from the FNMS ARL.
The columns with burnt orange headings are showing data from Technopedia.
The columns with green headings represent the data held in the crosswalk table itself (this is the core mapping between ARL entries and Technopedia entries).
