Tech category fact sheets are a tool for grouping IT components into standardized technology categories within LinearX. These categories enable organizations to create standardized grouping of IT components in their IT landscape, often based on the technology business management taxonomy, that is the TBM taxonomy. LinearX recommends adopting the TBM taxonomy to categorize your IT components. You can use the tech category catalog to seamlessly integrate the TBM taxonomy in your workspace. If the TBM doesn't cover all your organization's categories, such as secret management, you can still adapt and modify tech categories based on your needs. It's important to differentiate between the tech category and IT components. Tech category represents the grouping of IT components such as database, data warehouse, or network storage. This model remains stable over time and is independent of specific industries. When creating categories, start by identifying the various capabilities offered by an organization's technologies. For instance, in databases, you may have relational databases, no SQL databases, and others. Once technology capabilities are identified, create corresponding tech categories within the tech category feature. These categories act as containers to group similar technologies. Leverage the Tech Category catalog to map your technology capabilities accordingly. Also remember that Tech Categories should adhere to the principle of being mutually exclusive and collectively exhaustive or MISÉ. Once you establish the Tech Category fact sheets, you would be given insights such as the IT component landscape, which will help you with the technology obsolescence risk management.
