Abstract: The system and methods described herein provide for dynamic provisioning of computing resources for an enterprise resource planning system. The dynamic provisioning system provisions an original configuration of computing resources upon selection from a client device, and then provides for further dynamic provisioning by evaluating the real-time performance of the ERP system or by analyzing historical performance and consumption information of the ERP system or by using a combination to predict the anticipated stress on the computing resources placed by future performance of the ERP system.

Abstract: A system and method for utilizing metadata of a client computer in form of transactions and/or software operations (e.g., actions) in an enterprise system hosted by a host entity, such as in a cloud environment for testing the software operations is disclosed. The host entity stores metadata (e.g., response time, delay, processing time, usage) about the transactions in a database for the client computer system's actions. The host entity then uses the stored metadata to automatically generate a test script based on actual user interactions with the software operations of the enterprise resource planning system for specific data range and environment in order to test functionality of a plurality of software operations in the enterprise resource planning systems being operated by users of the client computers.

Abstract: The present disclosure describes a system and method for managing and disseminating community information in a cloud. The computer-implemented method and system for comparing service performance comprises receiving, by a server over a communication network from a computer of each of a plurality of client companies, metadata of a plurality of transactions in enterprise resource planning systems being operated by the plurality of client companies, and presenting, by the server over the communication network to a computer of a selected client company of the plurality of client companies, comparative performance information for display on a graphical user interface of the selected client company based on metadata of transactions in enterprise resource planning systems of other client companies that are substantially similar to the enterprise resource planning system of the selected client company.
