  • Patent number: 12652221
    Abstract: The present disclosure facilitates improving the operation of a cloud service by updating its configuration information and its resource requirements. The resource utilization of the cloud service can be monitored, and a decision logic module can determine whether action is required. When action is required, an update can be prepared and applied, and notifications can be generated about the condition and its resolution. Resolutions can require correlation of multiple cloud services to provide real-time access to information that is not otherwise available to a single entity. Resolutions can be learned and predicted in a number of ways using a predictive engine.

  • Patent number: 12641133
    Abstract: Remote control to facilitate the management, configuration, or maintenance of information technology infrastructure is provided. The system activates a real-time communication session and a code for the real-time communication session. The system generates a link with an indication of the code for the real-time communication session. The system transmits the link to a mobile telecommunications device that launches a web browser to request content. The system receives the request for content, and obtains access to data from a sensor of the mobile telecommunications device. The system identifies the real-time communication session corresponding to the code. The system establishes, via a web socket over a network protocol, the real-time communication session with a data feed from the sensor. The system provides, based on at least a portion of the data feed, a command to control the mobile telecommunications device.

  • Patent number: 12223450
    Abstract: Systems and methods of the present disclosure facilitate managing a sale via a sales management system. In some embodiments, the system includes a sales opportunity module and a service ticket translation module. The sales opportunity module may be configured to receive a sales leads data structure comprising at least one sales lead. Based on at least one qualification criterion, the system may be configured to identify a sales lead of the sales lead data structure as a sales opportunity. The service ticket translation module may be configured to select data of the sales opportunity for inclusion in a service ticket. By maintaining the selected data of the sales opportunity, the service ticket translation module may be configured to translate the selected data of the sales opportunity into the service ticket. The service ticket translation module may be configured to provide the service ticket to a service board.

  • Patent number: 12218810
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to managing resource utilization in cloud service infrastructure. A device can monitor the cloud service. The cloud service can be configured with an automatic scaling function based on a threshold. The device can determine, based on the monitoring, that a utilization value of the cloud service during a time interval exceeds the threshold. The device can generate, using a policy based on the utilization value and the threshold, an instruction to disable the automatic scaling function of the cloud service by the one or more servers. The device can transmit the instruction to the one or more servers via a second cloud application programming interface. The device can generate, responsive to the policy, a service ticket data structure with an indication of the utilization value and the time interval. The device can provide the service ticket data structure to an electronic board.

  • Patent number: 12199842
    Abstract: Systems and methods of the present disclosure facilitate managing information technology service level agreements. In some embodiments, the system includes a server that accesses a database storing a support ticket in memory. The support ticket can include a creation time and a service level agreement. The service level agreement can include a maximum response time. The server initiates, via the computer network, responsive to input from a computing device, a chat session associated with the computing device and the support ticket. The initiating can be associated with a time stamp. The server can be configured to determine a compliance with the service level agreement. The compliance can be computed as a difference between the time stamp and the creation time being less than the maximum response time. The server can be configured to generate a notification of the compliance with the service level agreement.

  • Patent number: 12177230
    Abstract: Systems and methods of managing fraudulent devices are provided. The system detects a request for a connection to communicatively couple a technician computing device with a receiver computing device. The system identifies connection data for the connection. The system requests, based on the connection data, a plurality of account values. Each of the plurality of account values is associated with an account that the technician computing device used to establish the connection. The system generates a score indicating a fraudulent level of the account based on the plurality of account values. The system terminates, responsive to a comparison of the score with a fraud threshold, the connection. The system transmits, to a ticketing system, a support ticket generated responsive to the comparison of the score with the fraud threshold.

  • Patent number: 11977597
    Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to systems and methods of managing remote devices. The system can include a server with memory, a detection module, and a collection module. The memory can store a management information base (MIB) having a hierarchical tree of object identifiers and corresponding object values. The detection module can query devices and receive a first object identifier and its first object value, which can vary from those in the MIB; and use patterns to match the first object identifier and object value; and generate an identification of the device from the matches. The collection module can use the identification to select a collection template, which can indicate a subtree of the MIB and a collection pattern; traverse the subtree and identify a second object identifier that matches the collection pattern, and its second object value; and associate the second object value with the first object value.
