Abstract
A method for improving performance of a computer procurement application includes using a procurement control system computer that is communicatively connected to a plurality of client computers, retrieving attribute values of one or more entities, forming a set of matching entity records, and determining peer group data of a peer group from each set of matching entity records corresponding to the one or more entities and associated with two or more entities that are similar to a target entity; using the procurement control system computer, from each of set of matching entity records corresponding to the peer group, extracting configuration data for the one or more entities and identifying one or more commonalities in the configuration data for the one or more entities; using the procurement control system computer, extracting configuration data for the target entity; using the procurement control system computer, comparing the configuration data of the target entity with the one or more commonalities in the configuration data from the matching entity records; using the procurement control system computer, determining the configuration data of the target entity that differs from the one or more commonalities of a majority of the one or more entities in the peer group; and using the procurement control system computer, providing, via a graphical user interface of one of the client computers, one or more values of the configuration data of the target entity that differs from the one or more commonalities of a majority of the one or more entities in the peer group as a recommendation to change one or more of the configuration data of the target entity.
