SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR COMPARING ALTERNATIVE SERVICE OFFERINGS
First Claim
1. A system for comparing service offerings, comprising:
- a business rules server for storing definitions of a plurality of service usage-related data types;
a data engine for collecting service parameters related to a service usage using a computer implemented facility;
a data normalization engine for normalizing the service parameters according to the defined service usage-related data types to generate a normalized service usage model for alternative service offerings and a normalized service usage dataset for a user'"'"'s current service;
a decision engine for applying the normalized service usage model to the normalized service usage dataset to produce a plurality of alternative service offering normalized datasets; and
a ranking facility for comparing the alternative service offering normalized datasets to the normalized usage dataset to determine if an alternative service offering is better than the user'"'"'s current service.
