What is L1M3
L1M3 (LIME)—the Loop1 Monitoring Maturity Model— was created as a standard reference for organizations to achieve desired business outcomes. Adopting L1M3 improves technology investments’ performance and leverages IT tools and operational data to inform business services and drive better business decisions.
Based on decades of experience in designing, implementing, and monitoring technology solutions across thousands of organizations worldwide, the L1M3 model is structured to help express business technology goals in standard terms while leveraging IT tools and data to deliver valuable business insights.

SolarWinds Version Upgrades
SolarWinds release version updates and security patches frequently, but you’re not benefitting from them if you don’t keep your platform up-to-date. Loop1 are here to assist you with your SolarWinds upgrades.

SolarWinds Health Check
Loop1’s Health Check provides a comprehensive and in-depth assessment of your SolarWinds environment to ensure your Orion Platform and monitoring setup performs at optimum levels. A healthy platform that is fine-tuned, configured for your environment, up-to-date, feature-complete, and secure by design, is far better equipped to meet your IT Operations Management requirements—today, and in the future.
A Loop1 SCP engineer will conduct a comprehensive review of all aspects of your SolarWinds platform—from the underlining architecture, to how SolarWinds was deployed, configured, and even how your IT pros are using the platform; all are assessed against our documented best practices – based on our L1M3 (LIME) ITOM Maturity Methodology.

ITOM Maturity Assessment & L1M3 Roadmap
Loop1’s ITOM Maturity Assessment is designed to assess the current maturity of IT Operations Management within your organization. We will undertake a detailed assessment of your environment against our L1M3 methodology (5 Phases of Maturity, 6 Assessment Areas, 7 Technology Silos) – against which you will receive a personalized scorecard and roadmap to help drive monitoring and observability maturity that delivers business value.
