摘要:
A method, system, and computer program product for measuring and assessing an organization's business adaptability is provided. In one embodiment, a taxonomy comprising a hierarchical list of taxonomy indicators that captures organizational elements that can be used to measure an organization's responsiveness to change is created. The taxonomy indicators are industry specific. A set of weights associated with the elements of the taxonomy, indicating a relevant contribution of each element to an overall adaptability of an organization, is assigned. The set of weights are industry specific. An enterprise profile is created assigning a level of adaptability to each taxonomy indicator indicating where, in a range of scores from low to high, an enterprise rates relative to the relevant taxonomy indicator. An adaptability result of the organization from the weights, taxonomy, and enterprise profile is then calculated. The adaptability result provides a quantitative assessment of the organization's adaptability.
摘要:
Techniques are described for determining the complexity of a computing environment. The techniques include developing a model for the complexity of a computing environment based on the quantity of particular elements of the computing environment. The model includes two statistical weights for each element in the complexity model. One statistical weight is applied to each element to provide a complexity rating of the element. Another statistical weight is applied to each element to provide a complexity rating across all elements.

A cloud management device for policy-based scaling of network resources comprises a processor, and a data storage device communicatively coupled to the processor, in which the processor creates a dependency data set for a number of application components on a network, and sets a number of scaling policies by tier based on the dependency data set.
摘要:
In certain embodiments, a method for determining a technology state of an entity comprises accessing information technology (IT) quantity data for an entity for a first time period. The IT quantity data comprises: (1) technology quantity data for technology components of the entity, indicating for the first time period a number of obsolete and a number of non-obsolete technology components; (2) process quantity data for processes of the entity, indicating for the first time period a number of obsolete and a number of non-obsolete processes; and (3) people quantity data for people of the entity, indicating for the first time period a number of obsolete and a number of non-obsolete people. Expenditure data for the technology components, processes, and people is accessed and comprises one or more of capital expense data and operational expense data for the first time period. A technology index for the entity is generated, according to the IT quantity data and the expenditure data, and quantifies a technology state for the entity.

A method, system, and computer program product for determining a business level metric for assessing the impact of performance degradation of IT components upon the revenue stream of an entity is provided. In one embodiment, the business level metric is determined by determining business functions that comprises a revenue stream for a line of business. Weights are then assigned to each business function, wherein the weights indicate the relative importance of each business function in relation to the other business functions. For each business function, the business processes that enable the completion of a specific business function are determined and weights. For each business process, critical service points for measuring the performance of supporting information technology components for the business process are determined and weights are assigned. The critical service points are then monitored and a partial business level metric raw score is determined.

摘要:
A computing system (10) includes elements (12-24) interfacing at integration points (26-47). One or more of the elements (12-24) may be associated with one or more testing tables. For example, a testing table (48) may include a test procedure (54) and several corresponding test codes (54a, 54b, 54c) associated with alternate product configurations (12a, 12b, 12c) that satisfy the functional requirements of an element (12). The testing tables in the computing system (10) provide a systematic and standardized scheme for defining, creating, modifying, and adapting integration test code. A testing system (11) accesses the testing tables to test the integration of the elements (12-24) in the computing system (10).
