UNIFIED MODELING OF TECHNOLOGY TOWERS

摘要

Embodiments are directed toward unified modeling of technology towers. Template information that corresponds to a technology tower may be selected by a user such that the template information identifies cost items, cost pools, and cost drivers. Cost information corresponding to the cost items may be determined from a dataset and mapped to the cost pools based on the template information. Cost driver information for the cost drivers may be determined from the information that was included in the dataset. A technology tower may be generated based on the cost pools and the cost drivers such that the cost pools and cost drivers correspond to the cost items. The technology tower may be provided to an application for generating one or more financial models. Key performance indicators for cost items may be generated based on the cost pools and the cost drivers.

1. A method for modeling cost items using a network computer, wherein the network computer includes a hardware processor that executes software code to perform actions, comprising:
selecting template information that corresponds to a technology tower, wherein the template information at least identifies at least one cost item, at least one cost pool, one or more sub-towers, and at least one cost driver for the technology tower; employing another network computer for an external data source to provide a dataset over the network to the network computer that is stored in a hardware datastore of the network computer; determining cost information from the dataset that is stored in a hardware datastore, wherein the cost information corresponds to the at least one cost item; mapping at least a portion of the cost information to the at least one cost pool based in part on the template information; determining cost driver information for the at least one cost driver based on the at least one portion of the cost information determined from the dataset; generating the technology tower for the at least one cost item based on the at least one mapped cost pool and the at least one determined cost driver; generating the one or more sub-towers, wherein the one or more sub-towers are included in the technology tower; allocating costs from one or more of the cost pools to cost items in the sub-tower; determining one or more key performance indicators by dividing one or more of the cost pools with a value from one or more of the cost drivers; and employing a modeling application to generate one or more financial data models of the at least one cost item that includes a generated technology tower model that is based on at least the generated technology tower and the one or more key performance indicators.
