Abstract:

Embodiments relate to systems and methods for assessing site-wide IT and other electronic equipment replacement criticality. A system generally includes a plurality of point-of-sale (POS) systems located at a corresponding plurality of retail sites, a centralized transaction database configured to receive datasets from each of the plurality of POS systems, a processor configured to group the plurality of retail sites according a predefined site type, determine averages for each field within the received datasets, compare the received datasets to the computed averages, multiply the comparisons by a weighting value, and at the weighted comparisons together to form a criticality score.
