Abstract: The method includes an IT custom-defined chargeback system which makes service consumer and revenue producing business unites aware of the costs of IT. This custom defined chargeback model allows to control escalating cost, improve decision-making, align behavior with organizational goals and lead to effective use of it. Service consumer selects the cloud plans based on cloud pricing and requirement of resources. User consumes all these resources under the supervision of cloud brain. If consumer crosses threshold value of resources consumption or cost, an alerts messages sent to managers and they take appropriate decision so that cloud resources should get used efficiently. Threshold validation and cloud bill assessment plays as very important role which gives clear cut idea about cloud resources consumption by each team. Admin analyze the monthly cloud bills and generates team wise chargeback reports.

Abstract: This invention will be used to determine how ready a user is to begin migrating their workload to a Cloud. Each client will provide some general information about the workload they wish to migrate. Based on the user's responses, a data visualization—in the form of a meter—will be formulated to determine the user's readiness score. Additionally, this tool will help the user better understand their unique challenges or issues that must be resolved before migration can occur. A cloud readiness report is generated at the end of this process, which will tell the user the specific issues that may hinder their migration process. With the help of invention, users can cut down their time and cost for checking their cloud readiness status. This tool will assist clients to identify any issues that would interfere with their migration to a cloud.
