Abstract
An invention for comparing utility and warranty of services in an information (IT) stack is provided. The invention determines, at each layer of the IT stack, a required utility and warranty (RUW) value for each of a set of services, wherein the RUW value represents a desired solution for implementing a business process; determines, at each layer of the IT stack, an available utility and warranty (AUW) value for each of the set of services, wherein the AUW value is a measure of an ability of each of the set of services to satisfy the RUW at each layer of the IT stack; and compares the RUW value against the AUW value at each layer of the IT stack to determine whether each of the set of services satisfies the desired solution for implementing the business process.
