  • Patent number: 11715067
    Abstract: An automated method for managing, delivering and tracking dynamic content. The method includes processing customer data related to one or more customers, managing and selecting textual and graphical dynamic content to specify delivery to targeted subsets of customers as a function of business rules, and delivering that content to targeted subsets of customers via one or more appropriate customer touchpoints. A portion or location within the customer touchpoint is identified as a dynamic destination area for receipt of the selected content, which then contains that content qualified for delivery to the targeted subset of customers via the customer touchpoint dynamic destination area through execution of targeting business rules. The qualification, delivery and responses to the delivered content are tracked for each customer, across each touchpoint, and targeting rules are refined and updated to encompass past qualification, delivery, and responses.

  • Patent number: 10491662
    Abstract: Pieces of hardware on which pieces of software are executed are configured to organize computing resources from different computing resource providers so as to facilitate their discovery. A catalog, which stores instances of cloud computing resources and their providers, and a knowledge base, which stores types of computing resources including rules which reveal their discovery, are formed by the software. A curating method is performed to enable semantic search including searching for cloud computing resources that in combination cooperate to satisfy a workload or a task in addition to having a simple computational function. Semantic indexing is performed to facilitate the semantic search.

  • Publication number: 20080046267
    Abstract: An automated method for managing, delivering and tracking dynamic content. The method includes processing customer data related to one or more customers. Textual and graphical dynamic content are managed and selected content is specified for delivery to a targeted subset of customers as a function of targeting business rules defined to be applied to the customer data. The selected content is specified for delivery to the targeted subset of customers via one or more appropriate customer touchpoints. A portion or location within the customer touchpoint is identified as a dynamic destination area for receipt of the selected content. The selected content is qualified for delivery to the targeted subset of customers via the dynamic destination area of the customer touchpoint through the execution of the targeting business rules applied to customer data. The selected content is delivered to the subset of customers via the defined one or more appropriate customer touchpoints.
