Abstract:

Embodiments of the invention relate to systems, methods, and computer program products that provide for a technological infrastructure consumption index. The index is instrumental in measuring and managing technological infrastructure consumption. The consumption index is generated on a predetermined schedule as indicator of a business entity's volume of infrastructure consumption. The consumption index tracks key consumption elements, which are within the control of application teams, thereby insuring that the consumption of the key elements are being managed on an ongoing basis. Additionally, the consumption index provides for drill-down capabilities for the purpose of readily accessing data associated with specific key consumption elements of interest and specific teams/organizations within the business entity.
