Abstract: Described embodiments provide systems and methods for performing secure transactions. A first service executing on at least one server may receive a request from a second service for the first service to perform a transaction. The request may include an identifier of a record. An agent of the first service may determine, according to the identifier, whether the record is present in a storage. The storage may be accessible using credentials of the agent of the first service and an agent of the second service. The first service may send a response to the request if the record is present in the storage.

Abstract: Network elements are managed with a server to support client data models from heterogeneous data sources. A server receives a first query for configuration data of a network element to be returned in a first model. The server determines a model type for the configuration data of the network element. When the model type is a second model that is not the first model, the server sends a second query to the network element for the configuration data to be returned in the second model and transforms the configuration data received from the network element into the first model. Additionally, the server returns the configuration data in the first model as a response to the first query.

Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure provide systems, methods, and computer-readable storage media that support optimization of communications transmitted over a plurality of communication mediums. Historical communications data may be analyzed to identify clusters of users and a model may be constructed based on the clusters. Candidate sequences of communications over a period of time (e.g., sequences of communication successfully triggering events) are identified using metrics (e.g., probabilities, attribution penalties, etc.) derived from the model or other information. The candidate sequences of communications may be determined at a group or cluster level and then tuned or optimized (e.g., using transition sequences, harmonization, entity priors, etc.) for individual users to produce optimized sequences of communications. The optimized sequences of communications may then be transmitted to individual users according to each user's optimized sequence of communications.

The method includes appending a profile of the second user with encrypted secure details. The method includes receiving an execution request to perform the first operation from the second user and decrypting the secure details. After entry of the decrypted secure details, the method includes authenticating the second user using the secure details and enabling execution of the first operation by the second user.
