Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for managing requests for access to one or more systems. One exemplary method includes receiving, through a request interface, a keyword associated with multiple roles and identifying one or more of the multiple roles consistent with the keyword, causing the identified role(s) to be displayed to the user at the communication device in the request interface, and, upon selection of one or more of the identified role(s) by the user, applying at least one access rule to the selected one or more of the identified role(s). The method then also includes issuing a notification to the user, at the request interface, when the selected one or more of the identified role(s) violates the at least one rule, where the notification indicates the violation and the at least one access rule, thereby permitting the user to select one or more different roles from the identified role(s).

Abstract: An update basis for updating digital content in a digital medium environment is described. The digital content is updated by incorporating new digital content components from a service provider system, such as a stock content service, to keep the digital content from seeming stale to client device users. The service provider system controls provision of digital content components according to an update basis described in a component request. In part, component requests ask that the service provider system provide digital content components for incorporation with digital content. Component requests also describe a timing basis with which digital content components are to be provided as updates. By way of example, the timing basis may correspond to a time interval (e.g., daily, weekly, monthly, seasonally, times of day, and so on), receiving user input in relation to the digital content (e.g., a navigation input to a web page), and so forth.

Abstract: A system may assist in moving a communication session in a stable state from a virtual network function serving that communication session to another virtual network function at that same site or another site, such as another cloud data center.

Abstract: A hybrid unified communications (UC) cloud system includes a global UC virtual data center and a plurality of regional UC virtual data centers (VDCs). Each regional VDC includes a regional system manager that manages a set of regional UC resources. Associated endpoint devices operate in at least one respective multi-tenant regional cloud and to employ corresponding regional UC resources thereof, operating in at least one service cluster of the respective multi-tenant regional cloud, to communicate real-time media traffic with respect to the associated endpoint devices. A regional resource manager provides status information to the regional system manager, based on utilization of resources, to control scaling of the regional UC resources responsive to the status information. The global UC virtual data center includes a global system manager to manage the regional UC VDCs and coordinates orchestration of UC resources between and/or among the regional UC VDCs.

Abstract: A computer-implemented for delivering tailored content to an individual includes: obtaining, by a computer system, communications of the individual; obtaining, by the computer system, a communication fingerprint for the individual based on analysis of the communications of the individual; tailoring, by the computer system, a message to the individual using the communication fingerprint; and delivering the message to the individual. Using sentiment analysis combined with a unique communication fingerprint for an individual advantageously provides for a more tailored, and thus more effective, communication to the individual.
