Abstract: A computer-implemented system and method for transparently interfacing with legacy line of business applications is provided. A plurality of legacy line of business applications execute on a line of business server platform. A connector is interfaced to each legacy line of business application. Each legacy line of business application implements business logic for a specific business need. A dashboard application executes on a client platform into which at least one Widget application is tailored to and installed for one or more of the legacy line of business applications. An enterprise collaboration server executes on a collaboration server platform communicatively interposed between the line of business server platform and the client platform. A data access framework coupled to the dashboard application is provided through a user interface layer. A data service bus coupled to the line of business applications through their respective connector and to the data access framework is provided.

Abstract: A computer-implemented system and method for providing searchable online media content is provided. A data store is maintained through an online media server. Media content, including device-playable data provided for dynamic online use, is stored. Media metadata, including markers synchronized to sections of the device-playable data, is also stored. The media content and media metadata are functionally combined through a layered network architecture. The data store is provided as a data layer. Applications are provided within a client layer that execute on a client interconnected to the network. Service interfaces are provided within a data access layer, which are each accessible by at least one of the applications. The media content and the media metadata are combined in response to a request received through a service interface from one of the applications. The combined media content and media metadata are served to the requesting application including streaming the device-playable data.
