  • Patent number: 10692031
    Abstract: A method, system and computer program product for evaluating capacity needs of a customer. A selection of an industry workflow is received from the customer, or alternatively, the customer provides a custom workflow. Furthermore, the initial workload estimates and the capacity requirements for implementing the selected industry workflow or the custom workflow are determined based on the answers to a set of questions presented to the customer. A model is then created to represent a data flow of the selected/custom workflow as well as represent the transaction rates. A system is provisioned to simulate production usage based on the determined capacity requirements. Furthermore, a workload is simulated based on the model and the initial workload estimates. The usage patterns in the simulated workload and the usage of the system are monitored which are used to update the capacity requirements of the system.

  • Patent number: 10305912
    Abstract: Systems and methods for controlling access to electronic collaboration content data associated with a plurality of organizations. The system includes one or more databases storing the electronic collaboration content data. An identity aggregator receives a request for access to the electronic collaboration content data from an individual's client device and determines an internal user identifier of the individual, that represents an aggregate identity of the individual corresponding to at least one of organizational identities or external identities. A content access manager maps the internal user identifier to content permissions associated with the individual across each organization that is associated with the individual and the external content services associated with the individual.
