The patent US12001977B2 outlines a system and method for providing a graphical user interface (GUI) that enhances the visualization and interaction with an enterprise IT environment. Central to this innovation is a multi-tier hierarchy stored in a database, which maps the service operation call dependencies among various software applications across different programming languages. The system includes a processor that generates a user-interactive dashboard, allowing users to visualize the end-to-end service operation call dependencies. This visualization features navigable links that enable users to trace service calls back to the source code of the invoking software application, facilitating a comprehensive understanding of the IT environment.

Additionally, the patent describes several modules that enhance the functionality of the GUI. A tier visualization module identifies and visualizes the links within the multi-tier hierarchy, while a tier traversal module allows users to navigate between different tiers, such as business processes, use cases, system modules, source code, and data elements. The system also includes a reporting module for generating accessible reports based on the multi-tier hierarchy and a search module that conducts semantic analysis on user input to present a dependency map. Collectively, these features aim to improve the management and analysis of complex enterprise IT systems, providing users with a robust tool for navigating and understanding their software environments.
