Lead AI Architect in IT Services2 years ago

We couldn’t find a perfect solution built for complex environments (enterprise or MSP) so we built our own.   It has taken five years and a lot of work but the recent addition of generative AI has been an absolute game-changer.  We have just made it free for all to use and enjoy.  See cascadeo.ai if interested.

That greatly depends on the platform and size.

I'd suggest good documentation and tagging practices.
If you can keep documentation of what tags are active and what their purpose and intent are then it dramatically limits the amount of hand-edited documentation.

Adhering to a consistent tagging policy coupled with that will let you run analysis to find resources tied to old/abandoned/unused efforts or projects.

Trying to infer by resource name or utilization metrics can lead to issues as it's a form of educated guessing.
