  • Patent number: 10228974
    Abstract: Systems and methods to identify to iteratively accomplish a complex task by mapping the complex task into a series of smaller tasks and then to reduce the task by executing one or more of the smaller tasks. Such a system ensures that a user does not have to be familiar with the operational environment of the platform (governance rules, architecture, and the like) when scripting tasks. Instead, the user can concentrate on the logic or purpose of the task, and various embodiments of the system will “intelligently” process/execute the task in the most efficient way, without violating the governance constraints imposed on users or accounts as part of the multi-tenant environment. Among other benefits, this approach permits users to more efficiently describe desired tasks and hence to more effectively utilize the platform.

  • Publication number: 20140019212
    Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to, among other things, a method that selecting, by a processor, user accounts on a first computing infrastructure to migrate to a second computing infrastructure; provisioning, by the processor, a parallel user account on the second computing infrastructure for each of the user accounts on the first computing infrastructure; and migrating, by the processor, information from the user accounts on the first computing infrastructure to the parallel user accounts.

  • Publication number: 20110295925
    Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to, among other things, a method that includes accessing a first server in a first computing infrastructure to obtain data about a configuration of the first computing infrastructure and use of the first computing infrastructure. The method may also include analyzing, by a processor on a second server, the data from the first server. The method may also include selecting, based on the analysis of the data, a second computing infrastructure from a plurality of computing infrastructures to replace the first computing infrastructure. The method may also include generating a report with the analysis of the data and the selected second computing infrastructure.
