A management server and a group of apparatuses to be managed, which are connected to each other through a network, are provided. Each apparatus to be managed constituting the group of apparatuses to be managed sends to the management server operation information indicating its operating condition according to predetermined timing. The management server monitors, on the basis of the operation information obtained from each apparatus to be managed, the amount of consumption of a resource with respect to a predetermined unit (e.g., an individual user or an organization to which the user belongs) set for a user of the apparatus to be managed or the group of apparatuses to be managed, and dynamically controls the operating condition of the apparatus to be managed.
