Abstract
Technology for evaluating an IT enterprise is provided. The technology models all information technology or solutions as services which are provided to a business organization. Each service can itself consume and be consumed by other services. Using a defined model service portfolio, the business goals of an organization are mapped against the portfolio to derive a services portfolio for a given business. Real world constraints such as budgeting and existing technology are then applied against the developed portfolio to derive a service plan.
