  • Patent number: 8819806
    Abstract: An application portal selectively provides a user selective access to data. A data access layer is included in the portal and includes a map associating the user with a permission and further associating a combination of the user and the permission with a data entity, whereby it may be determined whether the user is permitted to access data identified with the data entity. A data stage included in the portal selectively undergoes a synchronization with a remote data store, the synchronization providing data access information that is used to update the map.

  • Patent number: 8250104
    Abstract: A system may include a data store storing global data mapped from local data maintained by a plurality of heterogeneous data subsystems. The system may further include a life cycle coordinator including a global data life cycle model defining at least one life cycle for the global data, said life cycle coordinator being configured to receive a data update message defined in accordance with the global data life cycle model and representative of an update of the local data of one of the heterogeneous data subsystems, the data update message including a life cycle status identifier of a data record associated with the update, translate the data update message to at least one global data operation, the translation being based at least in part on the life cycle status identifier, and apply the update to the global data by performing the at least one global data operation.

  • Patent number: 8161075
    Abstract: In one of many possible embodiments, an exemplary system includes a data integration subsystem including at least one base hierarchical data structure representative of a first set of one or more data relationships. The system further includes a customization subsystem configured to receive one or more commands from an external source. The commands represent a second set of one or more data relationships, the second set of data relationships being externally defined. The customization subsystem is further configured to generate, based on the commands, a custom hierarchical data structure representative of the second set of data relationships, the second hierarchical data structure being generated on top of at least a subset of the base hierarchical data structure.

  • Patent number: 8156224
    Abstract: An integration portal provides a user with access to application entities of a plurality of remote applications. An authorization layer included in the integration portal includes a permission map indicating an association between the user and at least one of the application entities of the plurality of remote applications that the user is permitted to access. The authorization layer in the integration portal is synchronized with an authorization layer included in an application portal that provides the user with access to a subset of the remote applications, whereby the permission map is updated with information about at least one of the application entities that the user is permitted to access through the integration portal. Corresponding systems and methods are also disclosed.

  • Patent number: 8037098
    Abstract: An exemplary system includes a plurality of heterogeneous data subsystems maintaining local data and a coordinator subsystem configured to maintain global data mapped from the local data. The coordinator subsystem includes a global data life cycle model defining at least one life cycle for the global data. The coordinator subsystem is configured to use the global data life cycle model to coordinate a data update between the global data and the local data. In certain implementations, the coordinator subsystem and the heterogeneous data subsystems are configured to communicate using at least one data update message representative of the data update, the data update message being defined in accordance with the global data life cycle model. In certain implementations, the data update message includes a life cycle status identifier associated with the data update.

  • Patent number: 7882228
    Abstract: An exemplary system includes an application portal providing access to items of a plurality of remote applications, wherein at least one of the items is related to more than one of the remote applications, and an authorization layer that is included in the portal and that includes a permission map indicating an association between a user and at least one of the items of the plurality of remote applications that the user is permitted to access. In certain embodiments, the items include an application program interface (API). In certain embodiments, the authorization layer is synchronized with the remote applications, whereby the permission map is updated concerning information about at least one of the items that the user is permitted to access. Corresponding methods and systems are also disclosed.

  • Patent number: 7783591
    Abstract: An exemplary system includes a plurality of heterogeneous data subsystems maintaining local data and a coordinator subsystem configured to maintain global data mapped from the local data, the global data including a plurality of global data relationship views. One of the heterogeneous data subsystems is configured to initiate a data conversion of at least one local data record included in the local data from an origin data schema to a target data schema and to provide at least one data update message representative of the data conversion to the coordinator subsystem. The coordinator subsystem is configured to receive the data update message and asynchronously propagate the data conversion through to at least a subset of the global relationship views in the global data.
