Integrated resource tracking system

An apparatus comprising:

• a first computer, operable by a first user, wherein the first computer has a first processor and a first non-transitory computer readable storage medium storing first program code which, when executed by the first processor, implements a first software tool having a first function and a second software tool having a second function;
• a second computer, operable by a second user, the second computer having a second processor and a second non-transitory computer readable storage medium storing second program code which, when executed by the second processor, implements the first software tool having the first function and the second software tool having the second function;
• a server computer, in communication with the first computer and second computer, having a server processor and a server non-transitory computer readable storage medium;
• wherein the server non-transitory computer readable storage medium stores third program code which, when executed by the server processor, is configured to:
• gather first data regarding activities of the first user and the second user utilizing the first software tool;
• gather second data regarding activities of the first user and the second user utilizing the second software tool;
• identify a set of digital tags indicating that the activities utilizing the first software tool and the activities utilizing the second software tool are associated with a performance goal;
• and
• based on the first data and the second data, link activities of the first user and the second user to the performance goal, wherein the performance goal is for any one of the first user, the second user, a team including at least the first user or the second user, or an organization to which the first user and the second user belong, and wherein, in executing the third program code, the server computer improves a communications link between the server computer and the first computer or the second computer;
• and
• a physical display device in communication with the server computer and having a graphical user interface comprising:
• a first area of the graphical user interface that displays proportional use information as a set of annular segments in a circle graph, the proportional use information comprising a proportional comparison of:
• use of the first software tool on both the first computer and the second computer relative to use of the second software tool on both the first computer and the second computer;
• a second area of the graphical user interface that displays a first set of selectable icons representing the first user, the second user, and the team, wherein the circle graph in the first area is updated to display only use corresponding to a selected icon of the first set in response to a selection of one of the first set of selectable icons from the second area of the graphical user interface;
• and
• a third area of the graphical user interface that displays a second set of selectable icons representing a set of performance goals, wherein the circle graph in the first area is updated to display only a total number of activities corresponding to a selected performance goal in response to a selection of one of the second set of selectable icons from the third area of the graphical user interface.

A method implemented in a server computer having a server processor and a server non-transitory computer readable storage medium, the server computer being in communication with a first computer, operable by a first user, wherein the first computer has a first processor and a first non-transitory computer readable storage medium storing first program code which, when executed by the first processor, implements a first software tool having a first function and a second software tool having a second function, the server computer being in communication with a second computer, operable by a second user, the second computer having a second processor and a second non-transitory computer readable storage medium storing second program code which, when executed by the second processor, implements the first software tool having the first function and the second software tool having the second function, wherein the server non-transitory computer readable storage medium stores third program code which, when executed by the server processor, implements the method, the method comprising:

• gathering first data regarding activities of the first user and the second user utilizing the first software tool;
• gathering second data regarding activities of the first user and the second user utilizing the second software tool;
• identifying a set of digital tags indicating that the activities utilizing the first software tool and the activities utilizing the second software tool are associated with a performance goal;
• improving, using the server computer, a communications link between the server computer and the first computer or the second computer by linking, based on the first data and the second data, activities of the first user and the second user to the performance goal, wherein the performance goal is for any one of the first user, the second user, a team including at least the first user or the second user, or an organization to which the first user and the second user belong;
• and
• displaying, on a physical display device in communication with the server computer, a graphical user interface comprising:
• a first area of the graphical user interface that displays proportional use information as a set of annular segments in a circle graph, the proportional use information comprising a proportional comparison of:
• use of the first software tool on both the first computer and the second computer relative to use of the second software tool on both the first computer and the second computer;
• a second area of the graphical user interface that displays a first set of selectable icons representing the first user, the second user, and the team, wherein the circle graph in the first area is updated to display only use corresponding to a selected icon of the first set in response to a selection of one of the first set of selectable icons from the second area of the graphical user interface;
• and
• a third area of the graphical user interface that displays a second set of selectable icons representing a set of performance goals, wherein the circle graph in the first area is updated to display only a total number of activities corresponding to a selected performance goal in response to a selection of one of the second set of selectable icons from the third area of the graphical user interface.
