  • Patent number: 11650906
    Abstract: Embodiments disclosed herein relate to methods, systems, and computer programs for verifying that data incorporated into a computer program is current. The methods, systems, and computer programs compare a source identifier status code associated with the data to a current source identifier status code at the location where the data was obtained. The methods, systems, and computer programs include at least one validation function which determines the validity of the data according to selected parameters. If the source identifier status code and current source identifier status code match and the at least one validation function determines the data is valid, an executable computer program incorporating the data and one or more functions is produced as output.

  • Patent number: 7366680
    Abstract: A method and system for objectively determining potential success of a new project and similarity of the new project to historical projects. By defining a master set of processes, practices, and/or personnel available to be utilized by the new project, relationships may objectively be determined between the new and historical projects.

  • Patent number: 7313531
    Abstract: A method and system for assessing risk of a change proposal on a project development, and effectiveness of a service provider to satisfy a client. The method for assessing risk may include receiving the change proposal requesting one or more amendments to be performed on the project. One or more elements of the project potentially affected upon the change proposal being approved may be identified based on the amendment(s) of the change proposal. Metric(s) indicative of the potential effects on the project based on the identified element(s) may be generated. The method for determining effectiveness may include receiving change proposals. A frequency of receipt of the change proposals being received during the course of the project may be monitored to determine effectiveness of the service provider in satisfying the client.
