Blue Lucy has debuted its Connected Value Audit methodology, aiming to provide users across the media and entertainment space with empirical insights into the value delivered by their technology infrastructure.
Measuring each workflow process across five dimensions—integration breadth, decision complexity, transformation depth, human verification burden and failure resilience—the tool allocates a Connected Value Index score to quantify the overall operational value, aiming to improve returns from existing organisational resources and enhance operational decision-making, said the company.
Unlike traditional measures such as throughput count and processing hours, the Connected Value Audit turns orchestration activity into evidence-based metrics, providing a measure of value delivered rather than activity.
‘Level of Effort’ input can be calibrated against real-world experience, allowing the index to be tailored to the specific realities of an operation, added the company.
Commenting on the launch, Julian Wright, CEO at Blue Lucy, said, “Assessing the operational value of orchestration technology by measuring content volume is fatuous. It generates a number—often a big number—but zero insight. We’ve designed the Connected Value Audit to quantify what an integrated technology estate really delivers in terms of value to a business. The Connected Value Index is calculated based on human operator effort and code complexity, and at Blue Lucy we’ve applied it at the most granular level to each of the 600+ microservice agents currently available on the platform. It’s generating actionable, value-based data for businesses making tough decisions.”
