Method and system for managing development component metrics
Methods, systems, and software for managing development component metrics or other enterprise content—whether developed internally or by third parties—are described herein. One method includes presenting an interface to a remote user operable to display information for at least a first and a second development component. In some cases, the first development component is a first type and the second development component is a second type. Metrics are then captured from activity associated with the presented interface.
1 . A method for managing development component metrics comprising:
presenting an interface to a remote user operable to display information for at least a first and a second development component, the first development component of a first type and the second development component of a second type; and
capturing metrics from activity associated with the presented interface.
2 . The method of claim 1 further comprising:
presenting the interface to a second remote user operable to display information for a plurality of development components; and
capturing metrics from activity associated with the interface presented to the second remote user.
3 . The method of claim 2 further comprising:
aggregating the captured metrics; and
storing the metrics in a repository.
4 . The method of claim 1 , the metrics comprising at least one customer metric, at least one technical metric, and at least one financial metric.
5 . The method of claim 4 , each customer metric associated with one of the following activities: supplied search parameters, search results at least partially based on the search parameters, user feedback, consultants request, component return, customization request, user region, industry type associated with the user, and user role.
6 . The method of claim 4 , each technical metric associated with one of the following activities: server response time, repository response time, bandwidth allocation, bandwidth utilization, computer uptime, and potential adverse activity.
7 . The method of claim 4 , each financial metric associated with one of the following activities: popularity of the presented components, cost of the presented components, payment failure by the user, and credit score.
8 . The method of claim 1 further comprising monitoring intellectual property compliance based on the captured metrics.
9 . The method of claim 1 further comprising comparing at least a portion of the captured metrics to threshold values.
10 . The method of claim 9 further comprising normalizing the captured metrics prior to the comparison.
11 . The method of claim 1 further comprising communicating at least a portion of the captured metrics to a marketing tool to enhance a marketing effort.
12 . Software for managing development component metrics comprising computer readable instructions operable to:
present an interface to a remote user operable to display information for at least a first and a second development component, the first development component of a first type and the second development component of a second type; and
capture metrics from activity associated with the presented interface.
13 . The software of claim 12 further operable to:
present the interface to a second remote user operable to display information for a plurality of development components; and
capture metrics from activity associated with the interface presented to the second remote user.
14 . The software of claim 13 further operable to:
aggregate the captured metrics; and
store the metrics in a repository.
15 . The software of claim 12 , the metrics comprising at least one customer metric, at least one technical metric, and at least one financial metric.
16 . The software of claim 15 , each customer metric associated with one of the following activities: supplied search parameters, search results at least partially based on the search parameters, user feedback, consultants request, component return, customization request, user region, industry type associated with the user, and user role.
17 . The software of claim 15 , each technical metric associated with one of the following activities: server response time, repository response time, bandwidth allocation, bandwidth utilization, computer uptime, and potential adverse activity.
18 . The software of claim 15 , each financial metric associated with one of the following activities: popularity of the presented components, cost of the presented components, payment failure by the user, and credit score.
19 . The software of claim 12 further operable to monitor intellectual property compliance based on the captured metrics.
20 . The software of claim 12 further operable compare at least a portion of the captured metrics to threshold values.
21 . The software of claim 20 further operable to normalize the captured metrics prior to the comparison.
22 . The software of claim 12 further operable to communicate at least a portion of the captured metrics to a marketing tool to enhance a marketing effort.
