Resource finder tool
First Claim
1. A method comprising:
- receiving characteristics of a resource desired by a user through a user interface;
searching a data source of resource profiles associated with each of a plurality of resources for profiles having one or more of the characteristics;
providing a hit-list of resources having the one or more desired characteristics;
receiving additional characteristics of the resource through a refinement user interface;
searching the hit-list for the desired attributes; and
providing a narrowed hit-list of resources matching the desired attributes.

Abstract
Systems and techniques to develop an enterprise management consolidation system are described including a cross-functional application to provide communication between at least one of an object modeling tool, a process modeling tool and a user interface tool. The user interface tool is configured to find resources having desired characteristics. In general, in one implementation, the technique includes receiving characteristics of a resource desired by a user and searching a data source of resource profiles to locate profiles having one or more of the characteristics. The located profiles are provided to the user in a hit-list, which may then be narrowed by receiving from the user refinements or segment filters.
