Abstract: The disclosed Service Performance Manager is an enterprise software platform that monitors and proactively manages the health and performance of both individual and grouped services based on service level agreements, providing better visibility and control over individual and group services including, but not limited to, IT and business services. The Service Performance Manager predicts and solves potential customer-related issues before customers are aware of them, enabling an organization to meet quality of services objectives. Unlike other software platforms, the disclosed service performance manager automatically optimizes resources, services and service level agreements with finer granularity and precision, while remaining steadfastly vendor neutral, allowing the Service Performance Manager to manage many different applications and Service Oriented Architecture platforms simultaneously.
