What is System of record (SoR)?

A system of record (SoR) is the tool that is authoritative for a given piece of data: other sources take it from there rather than re-entering it.

Key points

For IT capacity, the SoR holds allocations, availability, and actual time. It avoids competing spreadsheets and contradictory numbers in committees.
