System for managing electronic assets of a software service delivery organization

An apparatus, comprising:

• at least one processor;
• at least one storage device having stored thereon instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, causes the at least one processor to perform operations comprising:
• creating an electronic asset;
• uploading the electronic asset into an asset repository;
• enabling users to download the electronic asset from the asset repository and to use the electronic asset in delivering software services;
• receiving usage data for the electronic asset from a first user as a response to a request for the usage data for the electronic asset, the usage data representing an extent of use of the electronic asset in delivering software services for a particular project and an indication of the project;
• generating a set of utilization characteristics of the electronic asset based on the usage data, the indication of the project, additional usage data of the electronic asset received for one or more other projects, and indications of the one or more other projects, the set of utilization characteristics indicating (i) that the electronic asset was utilized for the project and the one or more other projects and (ii) for each of the projects, savings provided by the electronic asset;
• determining that the electronic asset is suitable for delivering software services for a project of a second user;
• in response to determining that the electronic asset is suitable for delivering software services for a project of a second user, providing the set of utilization characteristics of the electronic asset for display to the second user;
• and
• subsequent to providing the set of utilization characteristics of the electronic asset, receiving a request from the second user to download the electronic asset.
