PLANNING AND OPTIMIZING IT TRANSFORMATIONS
First Claim
1. A computer-implemented method of planning and optimizing information technology (IT) infrastructure transformations, the computer implemented method comprising:
- creating a predictive effort estimation model for transforming an existing IT infrastructure into a transformed IT infrastructure, wherein transforming the existing IT infrastructure comprises replacing legacy applications;
emulating an introduction of a new application into the existing IT infrastructure through a use of a decision tree for transformation path determination to create a transformation path emulation;
emulating a use of a software factory for introducing the new application into the existing IT infrastructure to create a software factory use emulation for creating the transformed IT infrastructure;
accurizing the predictive effort estimation model with results from the transformation path emulation and the software factory use emulation to create an accurized transformed IT infrastructure model; and
deploying a physical transformed IT infrastructure using the accurized transformed IT infrastructure model to physically transform the existing IT infrastructure.

Abstract
A computer-implemented method, system, and computer program product for planning and optimizing information technology (IT) infrastructure transformations is presented. A predictive effort estimation model for transforming an existing IT infrastructure into a transformed IT infrastructure is initially created. The introduction of a new application into the existing IT infrastructure through a use of a decision tree as a transformation path determination is emulated to create a transformation path emulation. The use of a software factory is emulated for introducing the new application into the existing IT infrastructure to create a software factory use emulation for creating the transformed IT infrastructure. The predictive effort estimation model is accurized using results from the transformation path emulation and the software factory use emulation to create an accurized transformed IT infrastructure model. A physical transformed IT infrastructure is then deployed using the accurized transformed IT infrastructure model.
