Welcome to BlueDolphin

Welcome to BlueDolphin! This page gives a brief summary of the BlueDolphin's main functionalities, how it works and refers you to additional user documentation. From here you can get off to a flying start with BlueDolphin.

What is BlueDolphin?

ValueBlue developed BlueDolphin to get a grip on the application and ICT landscape. BlueDolphin makes it easy to get an insight into connections between business processes, applications and their underlying infrastructure. This way you can visualize chains and information flows.

You can apply effective improvements and identify cost reduction opportunities with these new insights. For example, overlapping application functions are quickly made visible and their impact analyses are available in no time.

BlueDolphin is highly configurable for one or more application areas. Your BlueDolphin administrator is able to implement various configurations, such as:

• Configuration management
• Rationalization and consolidation tracks
• Application Portfolio Management
• Process support

Once you are logged in

Once you are logged in, you can personalize your own profile within BlueDolphin and add an avatar.

After you have entered your profile information, you will see that BlueDolphin interface contains several menu tabs. The number of the tabs available for each user differs according to the type of the role assigned. 

Key functionalities

You easily manage and consult assets such as servers, applications, application functions, and business processes within BlueDolphin. These assets are created under the name Objects. Click here for further explanation.

It is also possible to automatically import large quantities of objects from a source. This can be configured in a way where data from another system is seen as the source. This data can then be synchronized with BlueDolphin based on a scheduled task, periodically (for example, every hour). For more information, we refer you to the explanation about sources.

Often, the number of objects is substantial. Therefore, the smart search function ensures that you can easily navigate.

Once the objects are secured, you can easily establish relationships between different objects. These relationships ensure the coherence between objects and enable the realization of desired visualizations.

Finally, it's good to know that you can always consult supporting documentation directly from BlueDolphin. If the answer to your question is missing, please let us know by contacting our support team - the button can be found in the upper-right corner of the screen after clicking on your account.

We wish you a lot of success and enjoyment in your work.
