Validating a Technology
At technology creation
On creation of a technology in ITPM, a task is automatically assigned to the technology manager, who must validate or refuse the technology. The task appears in his/her desktop, in which are displayed the objects for which he/she is responsible.
To validate a Technology:
1. Click the navigation menu then List of tasks.
2. In the edit window, click Technologies.
The list of technologies to be validated appears in the edit area.
3. Click the icon of the technology to be validated and select Assessment of the Technology > Defined as Accepted.
The Expected command also validates the technology, but in a more pronounced way, since it specifies that it is an expectation.
Company standard (calculated)
The Company standard attribute indicates the organization policy regarding the usage of a technology or technologies of a vendor. This attribute, visible in the technology characteristics, is modified depending on the validation workflow.
It can take the following values:
• Approved
• Accepted
• Prohibited
• Unknown
If a technology belongs to a "prohibited" or "unknown"supplier, it automatically takes the same value.
On demand
The Portfolio Manager can subsequently request a new validation of the technology.
He/she can also request financial validation from the Financial Controller responsible for this technology.
