Claim:
A global inventory processor-implemented method, comprising: collecting a first set of data via a processor comprising asset data and information generated from at least one reconciliation process; determining a server the first set of data is associated with; registering the first set of data and the associated server with an application directory; determining via a processor a first set of relationships between a first asset from the asset data and at least one other asset from the asset data, based on at least the first set of data registered with the application directory; storing the first set of relationships in the application directory; collecting a second set of data via a processor that is associated with a server, and registering the second set of data and the associated server to the application directory; milestoning the first set of data via a processor based on the second set of data, wherein the first set of data is given a start date relative to the registering of the first set of data and an end date relative to the registering of the second set of data; determining via a processor a second set of relationships between the first set of data and the second set of data; storing the second set of relationships in the application directory; and providing the set of relationships to a user via a user interface.
