Abstract: The described unified service management system provides a unified console to perform functions of individual management specialists. A unified console facilitates an administrator to perform the complex tasks that were performed by the individual management specialists. The unified console provides a “wizard” based approach to the administrator to design all aspects of the complex tasks including placement of components or computing devices, deciding on policies of the components or computing devices, deciding on health policies of components or computing devices, fixing data protection policies of components or computing devices, etc.

Abstract: Various embodiments enable mobile devices, such as phones and the like, to integrate with an in-vehicle information/entertainment system to enable the user to control the in-vehicle information/entertainment system by way of their mobile phone. Users can leverage the functionality of their mobile phone to promote an in-vehicle experience which can be contextually tailored to the user's or the vehicle's context. Yet other embodiments can purvey an in-vehicle experience through a cloud based service.

Abstract: A change order to be executed at a scheduled time as part of a change plan is created, wherein the change order to define a change to an Information Technology (IT) environment. The change order is validated against validation rules to simulate execution of the change order at the scheduled time wherein other change orders scheduled to execute before the execution of the change order are included in the simulation. Breaks in change orders scheduled to execute after the change order are detected. Side effects caused by execution of the change order are determined. The results of validating the change order are output.
