Patent number: 9900226Abstract: A method for managing, with a base data processing system of a primary business entity, a remote data processing system of a secondary business entity via a communications network is provided. The method includes steps of the base data processing system receiving a report message on at least one technical parameter from the remote data processing system via the communications network and interpreting the report message to determine a state of interoperability between the base data processing system and the remote data processing system.Type: GrantFiled: May 16, 2014Date of Patent: February 20, 2018Assignee: Accenture Global Services LimitedInventors: Shawn S. Cornelius, Clifford Donoughe, Arnold Z. Huffman, Richard R. Krahn, Michael S. Sweeney

Patent number: 8769081Abstract: A remote data processing system facilitates monitoring of the remote data processing system. The remote data processing system receives a data message via a communications network. The remote data processing system cascades at least a first stage software component and a second stage software component to form an installed remote software module for accepting the received data message. The remote data processing system detects the data message or a derivative at a group of logical nodes within the installed remote software module to determine flow of the data message, or a derivative thereof, between the logical nodes. The remote data processing system identifies a deficient software component of the installed remote software module as any of said software stage components that blocks or disrupts the flow of the data message between two adjacent logical nodes.Type: GrantFiled: January 15, 2008Date of Patent: July 1, 2014Assignee: Accenture Global Services LimitedInventors: Shawn S. Cornelius, Clifford Donoughe, Arnold Z. Huffman, Richard R. Krahn, Michael S. Sweeney

Patent number: 8176137Abstract: A management system communicates with at least one remote data processing system, associated with a trading participant, on a technical parameter of at least one remote data processing system. A technical parameter may refer to software configuration data, hardware configuration data, operational status of a data processing system, operational status of a software component of the data processing system, operational status of a hardware component of the data processing system, or otherwise. The management system receives a report message on the technical parameter via a communications network. The management system interprets or processes the report message for a presentation on a user interface of the management system.Type: GrantFiled: August 31, 2001Date of Patent: May 8, 2012Assignee: Accenture Global Services LimitedInventors: Shawn S.

Patent number: 7739729Abstract: An electronic security scheme and security system for a communications network facilitates the preventing of unauthorized access to an internal resource of an entity's internal computer system. A server includes a first set of ports for communication between an external communications network and the server. The server has a second set of ports for communications between an internal communications network and the server. A first firewall is interposed between the server and the external communications network. The first firewall is coupled to the first set of ports to provide at least one interconnection between the first set of ports and the external communications network. A second firewall is interposed between the server and the internal communications network. In one embodiment, the second firewall is coupled to the second set of ports to provide in a nonnegative integer number of interconnections between the second of set ports and the internal communications network.Type: GrantFiled: June 6, 2007Date of Patent: June 15, 2010Assignee: Accenture LLPInventors: Shawn S. Cornelius, Clifford Donoughe, Arnold Z. Huffman, Matthew C. Klug, Richard R. Krahn, Mohan Kurup, Edward Madden, David E. Sabaka, Eric C. Su, Michael S. Sweeney
