Forecasting Information Technology and Environmental Impact on Key Performance Indicators - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17968937 titled 'Forecasting Information Technology and Environmental Impact on Key Performance Indicators
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes mechanisms for forecasting IT and environmental impacts on key performance indicators (KPIs) using machine learning models trained on historical data. The models can forecast IT events given KPIs or KPI impacts given IT events, and generate correlation graph data structures to map these events to computing resources or organizational processes. Remedial action recommendations are then generated based on the forecasted output and correlation output.
- Machine learning models trained on historical data
- Forecasting IT events and KPI impacts
- Generating correlation graph data structures
- Generating remedial action recommendations based on forecasted output
Potential Applications
This technology can be applied in various industries such as finance, healthcare, and manufacturing to predict and mitigate potential IT disruptions or environmental impacts on key performance indicators.
Problems Solved
This technology helps organizations proactively address IT and environmental issues that could impact their key performance indicators, leading to improved operational efficiency and reduced downtime.
Benefits
The use of machine learning models for forecasting IT events and KPI impacts can help organizations make informed decisions, optimize resource allocation, and enhance overall performance.
Potential Commercial Applications
Potential commercial applications of this technology include IT service management, environmental monitoring systems, and predictive maintenance solutions for various industries.
Possible Prior Art
One possible prior art could be existing predictive analytics tools that forecast IT events or environmental impacts, but may not incorporate machine learning models or correlation graph data structures for generating remedial action recommendations.
Unanswered Questions
How does this technology handle real-time data for forecasting IT events and KPI impacts?
The patent application does not specify how real-time data is processed and utilized for forecasting purposes.
What types of remedial action recommendations are typically generated based on the forecasted output and correlation output?
The patent application does not provide examples or details on the specific types of remedial action recommendations that are generated.
Original Abstract Submitted
Mechanisms are provided for forecasting information technology (IT) and environmental impacts on key performance indicators (KPIs). Machine learning (ML) computer model(s) are trained on historical data representing IT events and KPIs of organizational processes (OPs). The ML computer model(s) forecast IT events given KPIs, or KPI impact given IT events. Correlation graph data structure(s) are generated that map at least one of IT events to IT computing resources, or KPI impacts to OPs. The trained ML computer model(s) process input data to generate a forecast output that specifies at least one of a forecasted IT event or a KPI impact. The forecasted output is correlated with at least one of IT computing resource(s) or OP(s), at least by applying the correlation graph data structure(s) to the forecast output to generate a correlation output. A remedial action recommendation is generated based on the forecast output and correlation output.
