Abstract: A system and method for monitoring application utilization are disclosed. In one embodiment, the system includes a computer having a plurality of applications installed thereon. A monitoring module is associated with the computer in order to monitor a plurality of utilization parametrics to determine the utilization of the applications by a user and provide to the user a substantially realtime, visible indication of the utilization of the applications. Based on data relative to the utilization parametrics, the application may be evaluated in a resource evaluation report. Additionally, based on the data, reports regarding the user's profile and productivity may be developed.
