How to Use Angelfish in Your Organization
Your organization uses a bunch of websites and web-based applications, both internal and external.
For each of these websites and web applications, Angelfish can help you:
- Measure Usage
- Identify Problems
- Satisfy Regulations
- Analyze Costs
Angelfish is a flexible solution that has many uses. But the most critical step you can take to ensure success is to:
Establish an Angelfish Admin Team
Angelfish is a self-hosted software package. To have a successful Angelfish implementation, you should have an Admin Team that owns the application.
An Angelfish Admin Team consists of:
- One or more Global Admins to manage the technical aspects
- One or more Collection Managers to manage the reports (Profiles)
Small environments (fewer than 10 Profiles) can operate successfully with an Admin Team of one or two Global Admins.
In larger environments, Collection Managers are key. You'll want at least one Collection Manager for each Collection.
The best candidates for Collection Managers are business users who have ownership in the websites & web applications tracked by Angelfish.
