ABSTRACT:
A system, method and article of manufacture are provided for performing a comparative analysis of vendors of network-related products or services. The present invention includes first determining a current network framework. Thereafter, a graphical depiction of the current network framework is displayed along with a plurality of components thereof. Next, a comparative analysis of at least two vendors of network-related products or services is presented. This is accomplished with indicia coding that highlights various aspects of the vendors.
