Abstract: A method of employing fraud rules associated with identification of fraud in connection with financial transactions may include receiving information associated with a fraud scenario and defining a fraud rule based on the information. The fraud rule may include fraud criteria used to analyze financial transaction data to detect the fraud scenario and may also include a fraud response. The method may further include defining activation criteria for the fraud rule and enabling activation of the fraud rule for inclusion in product flows associated with the financial transactions in response to the activation criteria being met.

Abstract: Example embodiments disclose a method for managing a requisition. In example embodiments the method includes using an electronic interface to define a first requisition and checking a name of a requisitioner to determine whether the requisitioner has previously submitted a requisition. In one nonlimiting example embodiment requisitioner has not previously submitted a requisition a list of approvers is sent a notification and the response times of the approvers are tracked. If the name has been previously submitted the system fetches approval related data from a historical knowledge base.

Abstract: A procurement system may include a first interface configured to receive a query from a user, a command module configured to parameterize the query, an intelligent search and match engine configured to compare the parameterized query with stored queries in a historical knowledge base and, in the event the parameterized query does not match a stored query within the historical knowledge base, search for a match in a plurality of knowledge models, and a response solution engine configured to receive a system response ID from the intelligent search and match engine, the response solution engine being configured to initiate a system action by interacting with sub-system and related databases to generate a system response.

Abstract: The present invention is a tool for managing spend analysis, reverse auctions, sourcing, contracts, procure-to-pay processes, requests for proposals, supplier assessment and settlement processes. It employs hardware architecture and a software framework to provide a platform as a service that allows the user to create, store, report and manage bids, requests for proposals, contracts, bid data, spend analysis, and supplier scoring information from any of a number of mobile devices of various form factors.

Abstract: A tool used for managing multiple auctions is presented. The tool includes instructions providing the capability of creating subgroups of auctions based on criteria used to sort data pertaining either to the subject matter of the auction or to its participants. Further, the tool manages within-group closing times by extending closing times of all auctions in the group. A comparison of a recent bid to extension criteria may extend the closing time of an auction by an extension period; if the number of times this auction is extended meets a trigger number, then all closing times of all auctions in the group are extended by a specified time related to the trigger number and the extension period.

Abstract: A method of processing a frame of a CPU intensive communications protocol includes disabling per frame interrupts of a CPU; enabling a periodic interrupt handler to interrupt the CPU upon an interrupt period; and upon an interrupt of the periodic interrupt handler, determining and processing a frame received in the interrupt period. Further, a frame sent acknowledgment stored in the interrupt period may be processed during the interrupt. A method of processing the transmission of frames of a CPU intensive communications protocol includes, when no MSU frame is queued for transmission, sending FISU frames that each point to itself; and if a MSU frame is queued for transmission, updating the MSU frame to point to a new FISU frame, updating a current FISU frame to point to the MSU frame, and sending the current FISU frame, the MSU frame and the new FISU frame.

Abstract: An arrangement is provided for centralized content management. A central site supports a generic product with a plurality of features. At least one development site connects to the central site. Each development site can generate and test a customized product of the generic product based on the features of the generic product via tools provided by the central site.

Abstract: A method and apparatus is provided in which communication between an application and protocol drivers to transmit data to and from a network interface is performed using a standardized protocol driver application programming interface. The interface includes functions having one or more parameters called from an application to cause the protocol driver to drive a protocol service engine (PSE) coupled to the network interface, the PSE being capable of operating a communication channel between the application and the network interface. The interface also includes messages conveying information from the protocol driver to the application about the operation of the communication channel and the data transmitted therein.
