Exports and files
Begin with configuration exports, code, records, diagrams, and documents when direct access is not ready.
Trust & Data Handling
Start Read-Only. Keep Control.
AuthorIOM uses the least access needed for the agreed result. Your organization chooses what connects, what is retained, where the platform runs, who approves change, and when any write path is enabled.
Read-Only First
The first IOM can be built without permission to change infrastructure.
Read-only APIs
Connect selected source systems with accounts that cannot make infrastructure changes.
Path-by-path write access
The customer chooses each system, action type, owner, approval rule, and time the path can be enabled.
Nothing writes to the environment merely because the IOM exists.
Data Scope
Model infrastructure facts and structure—not the business data inside it.
What the IOM may represent
Assets, settings, relationships, ownership, capacity, state, policy, allowed transitions, evidence, and database structure or schema.
What it does not need to hold
The customer records, transactions, documents, or other business data stored inside applications and databases.
The exact fields retained depend on the agreed scope, data rules, and deployment model.
Deployment
Choose the deployment shape that fits your risk needs.
Shared tenant
A managed cloud service with logical separation and a faster start.
Dedicated tenant
A separate environment for stronger isolation and customer-specific controls.
Inside your perimeter
Run inside your environment when policy, access, or data rules require it.
Customer Control
Your organization sets the rules and keeps decision authority.
AuthorIOM can help apply the rules. It does not write policy or give itself permission.
- You choose the connected systems
- You choose what data is retained
- You choose the owners and approvers
- You choose the allowed change paths
- You choose when human review is required
- You choose how far authority can expand
Portability
No lock-in trade.
Keep your current tools
AuthorIOM connects to the stack. It does not require infrastructure replacement to begin.
Export the model
Model and operating records can be exported in standard formats for customer use and transition planning.
Change providers without starting over
The customer-owned IOM preserves facts, relationships, rules, ownership, and history needed for handoff.
If the service ends, the operating knowledge should not disappear with the provider.
The customer keeps the exported model and the decision to operate it with AuthorIOM, an approved partner, or its own team.
Decision Record
Every connected decision can leave an explainable record.
What was proposed
The action, the actor, the reason, and the state used for the decision.
Why the decision was made
The rules, relationships, risks, exceptions, and approvals that mattered.
What happened after
The tool used, the result, the evidence, and the updated state in the IOM.
Bring Your Requirements
Review access, data, deployment, and portability before anything connects.
Bring your security questionnaire, data rules, deployment limits, and exit requirements to the working session.
