  • Patent number: 7007029
    Abstract: According to the invention, techniques for visualizing customer data contained in databases, data marts and data warehouses. In an exemplary embodiment, the invention provides a system for graphically analyzing relationships in data from one or more data sources of an enterprise. The system can be used with many popular visualization tools, such as On Line Analytical Processing (OLAP) tools and the like. The system is especially useful in conjunction with a meta-model based technique for modeling the enterprise data. The enterprise is typically a business activity, but can also be other loci of human activity. Embodiments according to the invention can display data from a variety of sources in order to provide visual representations of data in a data warehousing environment.

  • Publication number: 20020136204
    Abstract: The present invention provides techniques for routing network traffic based upon application information. Specific embodiments provide users, such as businesspersons or other professionals with the capability to understand relationships among customers or clients, for example, and to manipulate traffic in enterprise network resources based upon these relationships. Various network applications, such as HTTP, SNMP, and the like, are supported by specific embodiments. Content-based routing methods can direct network traffic based on the Uniform Resource Locator (URL), which may contain an HTTP cookie in certain embodiments. Accordingly, novel ways to define the cookie by including the application data obtained from customer data analysis can be used with specific embodiments.
