1. A method for managing information technology (IT) through auto discovery analysis to achieve business relevance, comprising:
- providing one or more IT services operable to monitor an IT infrastructure and thereby discover managed components of the infrastructure and discover business processes which are supported by the infrastructure; and
forming, using a computer system, an object-based information model based on the discovered components and the discovered business processes, the information model modeling one or more mappings of business processes to associated managed components that support the business processes such that a business impact can be determined based on the monitoring.

Abstract
A method for managing information technology (IT) through auto discovery analysis to achieve business relevance is provided. An IT infrastructure is monitored to discover managed components of the infrastructure and discover business processes which are supported by the infrastructure. An information model is formed based on the discovered components and the discovered business processes. The information model can be used to provide assorted IT services.
