Jefferson Blueprint

The Jefferson Blueprint is a systematic approach for the operations of a Client-Server and/or distributed environment from a Systems Management process viewpoint. The processes are correlated to the technical environment. This correlation can be labor intensive, but the results are of a nature that allows tight management and accountability of both human and technical resources.

The Systems Services Blueprint is comprised of the following components:

Systems Services - Along the y-axis are the services components normally associated with supporting an IT and business environment. The Blueprint categories are loosely based on an Open-System Framework.

Systems Management and Required Non-Systems Management Processes - Along the x-axis of the Blueprint matrix are all Systems and Non-Systems Management Processes through workflows, activities and procedures.

System Service Blueprint Element - At the junction of each process component and systems service component is the element that contains management information for that element. The information is normally contained in a database so that information may be retrieved and queried.
