Information technology (it) toplogy solutions according to operational goals

Abstract

Disclosed are various examples for determining an IT topology for an enterprise IT organization based on operational goals of the enterprise organization. Visual models that are designed to facilitate responses associated with the current IT topology and operational goals of an enterprise IT organization are presented to an entity of the enterprise. The entity can provide enterprise profile data to an IT solutions system by interacting with user interfaces. The IT solutions system can generate the IT topology and roadmap for implementing the IT topology based on the operational goals identified in the responses. Statements of work can be dynamically generated that outline details and terms of implementing the proposed IT topology for the enterprise IT organization.
