  • Patent number: 11853930
    Abstract: A system for electronic lead generation including a semantic graph database including a knowledge graph and a dynamic profiling module comprising automated computing machinery configured to identify a near-term surge in product interest for a number of companies of a particular size in a particular industry in a particular region of the world in dependence upon the knowledge graph and create a company profile in dependence upon the size of the identified companies, the industry of the identified companies, and the region of the world of the identified companies associated with the near-term surge. Embodiments also include a lead purchase module comprising automated computing machinery configured to generate an electronic lead purchase order in dependence upon the company profile; transmit the lead purchase order to a lead generation engine; and receive, from the lead generation engine, a plurality of leads in dependence upon the lead purchase order.

  • Patent number: 11468882
    Abstract: Customer relationship management (“CRM”) implemented in a computer system, including parsing a word, from call notes of a conversation between a tele-agent of a call center and a customer representative, into a parsed triple of a description logic; determining whether the parsed triple is recorded in a semantic CRM triple store of the computer system; if the parsed triple is not recorded in the semantic CRM triple store, recording the parsed triple as a call note in the semantic CRM triple store.

  • Publication number: 20200134492
    Abstract: Customer relationship management (“CRM”) implemented in a computer system, including parsing, by a parsing engine of the computer system into parsed triples of a description logic, words of a CRM event from an incoming stream of CRM events, the CRM event characterized by an event type, the stream implemented in a CRM application of the computer system; and inferring, by an inference engine from the parsed triples according to inference rules specific to the event type, inferred triples.

  • Publication number: 20120226519
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for assessing a risk associated with a requirements document and/or identifying one or more resources that can be used to manage the risk. A requirements document can be analyzed to extract elements from the requirements document into relationships. A relationship interface can be generated that includes the relationships for the requirements document. Information, associated with an entity or otherwise, relevant to the requirements document can be organized into risk issues using the relationships interface. One or more resources may be identified for the information relevant to the requirements document and an interface can be provided between the identified resource and a manager of the requirements document.
