MODELS FOR VISUALIZING RESOURCE ALLOCATION

Embodiments are directed towards for models for visualizing resource allocation. A plurality of data models may be provided to a benchmarking engine. The benchmarking engine may be employed to provide a plurality of benchmark models based on the plurality of data models. If an organization is selected, additional actions may be performed including: providing one or more of the plurality of benchmark models based on a data model that corresponds to the organization and one or more model objects of the data model; and, employing a visualization engine to provide a visualization that compares one or more resource allocations associated with the one or more model objects with the one or more benchmark models, such that the visualization is displayed on a hardware display for viewing by a user.
