A method for managing a business. At least one relationship is determined between N business components (B, B, . . . , B) and respective N costs (C, C, . . . , C) and respective N values (V, V, . . . , V) pertaining to the N business components. The N business components are a subset of M business components (B, B, . . . , B) of a Component Based Model (CBM) of the M business components subject to M&#x2265;2 and N&#x2264;M. Determining the at least one relationship includes relating business components of the CBM with an Information Technology (IT) model of an IT system. The IT model includes abstract IT structures, virtual IT structures, real IT structures, or combinations thereof.

Coupling of a business component model to an information technology model

Receiving a first model associated with a user, a generic model of a generic domain, and a specific domain having an associated domain-specific corpus. A first set of query terms based on elements of the first model, and a second set of query terms based on elements of the generic model, are determined. A third set of query terms is generated based on the first and second sets of query terms. The domain specific corpus is queried using the third set of query terms, and a domain specific model is generated based on results of the querying.

Platform for consulting solution

A method and system are described for using business artifacts to identify elements of a component business model. Artifacts operated upon by the business are first identified, and then used to analyze the business into business operations. This is done by identifying every business activity that acts on an artifact, creating directed graphs for the business activities, and decomposing the directed graphs into sub-graphs, each sub-graph representing a business operation and being annotated by a verb expression, the annotated sub-graph representing a business service. The business services are then clustered into non-overlapping components, using common affinities reflected in the verb expressions, and organized by partitioning into internal and external operations, exposing a business service for each external operation. The components are then clustered into non-overlapping business competencies, and arranged by accountability level.

Method and system of using artifacts to identify elements of a component business model

A system and method is described for using a component business model to partition a business into non-overlapping components, and then allocating different components to appropriate organizing strategies, based on attribute values assigned to each component. In the best mode of implementation there are two attributes: whether or not the component differentiates the business within the market place; and whether the component is industry standard or is tailored by the organization. These attributes and their values map the components of the business to a matrix. Based on the combination of attribute values in each cell of the matrix, available organizing strategies are also mapped to the matrix, thereby identifying for each component an appropriate organizing strategy.

System and method for using a component business model to organize an enterprise

An Enterprise Management Portfolio Hub allows a user to perform enterprise portfolio management activities from a single point of control. EPMH relates information, analysis, display and control based on the organizing concept of the business components that comprise the CBM map of the enterprise by collecting portfolio information from existing portfolio management tools and generating a portfolio model. It allows the user to interact with or access information from various Portfolio Management applications and services through the portfolio model. EPMH supports evaluative techniques that can be used to identify areas for business transformation and to generate transition plans.

Method and system for enterprise portfolio management based on component business model

Generating a transition plan for a computer resource portfolio, representing each resource as a state machine, by generating a transition plan, the transition plan having a set of acts for transitioning states of the resources, to move the computer resource portfolio from a present state, the present state based on an inventory of present computer capabilities, to a future state. The future state is identified based on a difference between a present state and an identified state meeting given performance requirements. The transition plan is optimized to maximize the sum value of the computer resource portfolio values added over the state sequence of the transition.

Enterprise portfolio analysis using finite state Markov decision process

A speech recognition computer system and method indicates the level of confidence that a speech recognizer has in it recognition of one or more displayed words. The system and method allow for the rapid identification of speech recognition errors. A plurality of confidence levels of individual recognized words may be visually indicated. Additionally, the system and method allow the user of the system to select threshold levels to determine when the visual indication occurs.
