                                   –  analysis of the impact of data defects on the execution
                                of processes by impact type:  process failure, subsequent
                                entry with delayed processing, malfunctioning with partners,
                                with clients, etc.;

                                   –  number and type of disparities vis-à-vis regulations:
                                delay taking into account a new version of a business
                                regulation, inability  to take into account one part of a
                                regulation, putting a regulation into place outside of the
                                intangible assets (for instance directly managed in Excel
                                spreadsheets), etc.;
                                   –  frequency of queries and updates by intangible assets
                                and organizational  unit. Monthly analysis of these
                                frequencies in order to be able to judge the activity of the
                                organization regarding its master data and its business
                                rules,
                                   –  amount of effort dedicated  to training personnel by
                                intangible asset;

                                   –  financial valuation of these shares ; etc.
                                                                          3
                                  Before reaching such a mastery of an IT system by its
                                business repositories (data and rules), it is necessary to
                                transform  what is already in place. This transformation
                                must not put in jeopardy the current activity of a company.
                                It must be carried out in a  progressive manner, without
                                imposing a big-bang effect that would be impossible to
                                negotiate. We are now going to show how this is possible.


                                2.2. The transformation stages of an IT system

                                  Faced with cumbersome and out of date IT systems,
                                stemming from several decades of bespoke developments as
                                well as use of software packages, a company often no longer
                                has the means to replace its IT in one go. An organization

                                3. It is then necessary to have rules to evaluate assets, in the form of an
                                accounting approach of a quantitative, qualitative and financial nature.
