Abstract: Techniques for communicating with a third-party management database are described herein. According to an embodiment, a computer receives a search-style query, searches the third-party management database, retrieves multiple computer-readable database search strings, displays the computer-readable database search strings, and receives a selected computer-readable database search string. In response, the computer queries the third-party management database using the selected search string, returns a temporary variable associated with a supplier risk score, and receives a command to perform a decision step as part of a workflow.

Abstract: A system for accessing and amalgamating entity data from a plurality of inconsistent data sources may be provided. The system may include a plurality of databases. The plurality of databases may include a first database and a second database. The first database may include a first plurality of entity datasets. Each entity dataset of the first plurality of entity datasets may relate to an entity. The first database may include a first database identifier for each entity dataset. The second database may include a second plurality of entity datasets. Each entity dataset of the second plurality of entity datasets may relate to an entity. The second database may include a second database identifier for each entity dataset. One entity dataset included in the first database may relate to the same entity as an entity dataset included in the second database. The system may include an indexing system.

According to an embodiment, a computer receives a search-style query, searches the third-party management database, retrieves multiple computer-readable database search strings, displays the computer-readable database search strings, and receives a selected computer-readable database search string. The computer may receive data associated with one or more third party surveys, and questions and answer options may be displayed according to various metadata attributes associated with previously-selected answer options.

Abstract: Methods for minimizing bandwidth associated with transmission of unnecessary queries to third party vendors is provided. Methods may include transmitting initial queries to the third party vendors. Methods may include receiving a result set corresponding to the initial queries. Methods may further include mapping the initial queries, with the result set to a set of controls. Methods may include creating a personalized set of subsequent queries based on the mapping to the set of controls. Methods may include transmitting the subsequent queries to the third party vendor. Methods may include receiving a result set corresponding to the second set of queries.
