  • Publication number: 20210135960
    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.

  • Publication number: 20210135956
    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: 10904294
    Abstract: This disclosure facilitates managing lost devices. In some embodiments, a system receives a first device type from a first agent on a first device, and a different second device type from a second agent on a second device. The system receives a first group associated with the first device and a different second group associated with the second device. The system determines that the first device and the second device are lost and accesses a database storing first and second configuration classes associated with the first and second devices, respectively. The system creates first and second device-dependent classes based on the first and second device types and the first and second configuration classes, respectively. The system melds the first device-dependent class into a first melded profile and the second device-dependent class into a second melded profile, using the respective groups, and applies the melded profiles to the corresponding device.

  • Publication number: 20200410497
    Abstract: Systems and methods of the present disclosure are directed to detect fraudulent transactions. The method include detecting an online transaction initiated by a computing device. The method includes determining, identifying that the online transaction is in a state, a value corresponding to information of the computing device or a field of the online transaction. The method includes obtaining a look-up value corresponding to the value. The method includes selecting a routing policy based on comparing the value with the look-up value. The method includes determining to interrupt the online transaction based on detecting a presence of a match between at least one of the value and the look-up value. The method can include interrupting, responsive to the determination, the online transaction to direct the online transaction to a resolving state according to the routing policy.

  • Publication number: 20200382389
    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: 10803138
    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.

  • Publication number: 20200322355
    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.
