Abstract: 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.

Abstract: 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.

Abstract: A method and system for enterprise monitoring maps monitor events to elements of a component business model of the enterprise and displays the mapped events using the component business model. Rules are used to determine whether events captured from a monitor source are monitor events. An enterprise monitor metamodel linking monitor artifacts and elements of a component business model is used to annotate monitor events with data from the component business model of the enterprise.

Abstract: A method for managing a business. At least one relationship is determined between N business components (B1, B2, . . . , BN) and respective N costs (C1, C2, . . . , CN) and respective N values (V1, V2, . . . , VN) pertaining to the N business components. The N business components are a subset of M business components (B1, B2, . . . , BM) of a Component Based Model (CBM) of the M business components subject to M≥2 and N≤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.

Abstract: A method and system for validating business solutions by evaluating the business services from which the solution is composed, aggregating these evaluations in accordance with a service composition structure, and comparing the aggregated evaluation to target objectives for the business solution, where the service evaluations and the target objectives use the same metrics, which are surrogates for the business solution objectives. A business solution has a Business Level Agreement (BLA) which states business objectives. A business service has a Business Service Level Agreement (BSLA) which states operational objectives. A business solution is seen as a composition of business services. Therefore, the BLA is validated by evaluating and then aggregating the BSLA's for all business services from which the business solution is composed, and then comparing the aggregation against target values of the surrogates. Validation occurs: (1) during solution template composition, (2) at service binding times, and (3) during solution execution via business monitoring.

Abstract: A method, system and service for using a Component Business Model (CBM) of an enterprise to support value based pricing of business solutions. Business solutions are composed from, and are described in terms of, services exposed by business components. Pricing is represented as the product of iterative negotiations between a solution provider and a solution consumer. Both the provider and the consumer are analyzed in terms of constituent services. Value based pricing is applied to the constituent services, and a value based pricing schedule for the provider or the consumer is constructed from an evaluation of pricing schedules for the respective constituent services. The value based pricing schedules are themselves configured from a plurality of pricing strategies, the configuration being designed to optimize a pricing schedule for the mutual benefit of the provider and consumer.

Abstract: 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.
