Abstract: Processing power of a database may be leveraged to perform contact engagement analysis efficiently defining target groups. A person-centric data model allows rapid segmentation based upon details of individual contacts, and the nature of their interactions. The data model may recognize multiple facets of a single individual, for example different identifiers for various personal networks (e.g., social media networks, enterprise directories, etc.). Contact engagement analysis may use techniques such as contact classification, filtering, date period selection, and/or tag cloud based topic classification visualization, in order to achieve target group definition. A data model and UI may provide selection tools filtering data of mixed quality, allowing fast overview, and providing selection possibilities of contact groups having different data quality classifications. A tag cloud (e.g., including a time slider) shows topics of interest derived from contact interactions, thus providing visual indications.

Abstract: A method and system to define attributes of a plurality of interactive user interface elements, the attributes including, at least, a textual descriptor and a value representation of an associated data element; associate at least one of the interactive user interface elements into a group of user interface elements; and display, embedded in a user interface of a first application, the group including a presentation of the textual descriptor and the value representation of the associated data element for each interactive user interface element in the group.

Abstract: A system, method, and computer program product for combining replicated, analytical, and locally generated data in business objects on top of a database are disclosed. Business data are replicated from a first source to an analytics database. Analytical data based on the replicated business data are generated and combined with the replicated business data in the analytics database. Business objects are created to allow access to the analytics database via a user interface. Related apparatus, systems, techniques and articles are also described.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method for managing a feed in an in-memory database system includes: determining, in an in-memory database system, that a criterion for a feed event is met with regard to a business object handled by the in-memory database system; generating a feed event document in response to the determination; identifying at least one user in the in-memory database system who is a feed event subscriber regarding the business object; and forwarding the generated feed event document to the identified at least one feed event subscriber.

Abstract: A user interface integrates display of custom Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) calculated from an underlying database. The interface may allow for the creation of predictive algorithms customized to provide intelligent advice and meaningful alerts to the user in realtime, based upon the value of the KPIs. Certain embodiments may provide a dynamic ticker feature that provides recommendations for user action based upon displayed KPIs. The ticker may utilize attributes such as color and movement to effectively communicate relevant KPI information to the user.

Abstract: A system, method, and computer program product for joining logistical and financial data related to procurement spending in a database. Financial data can be replicated from a first source to an analytics database. Procurement data from a second source can be replicated to the analytics database. The financial data can be filtered for procurement-related items to obtain procurement-related financial data. The obtained procurement financial data can be joined with the procurement data in the analytics database based on related information between the financial data and the procurement data. One or more reports based on the joined financial and procurement data can be generated in the analytics database. Related apparatus, systems, techniques and articles are also described.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus, including systems and computer program products, for a services architecture design that provides enterprise services having customer relationship management functionality at the level of an enterprise application. The design includes a set of service operations, process components, and optionally deployment units. Suitable business objects are also described.

Abstract: A business object model, which reflects data that is used during a given business transaction, is utilized to generate interfaces. This business object model facilitates commercial transactions by providing consistent interfaces that are suitable for use across industries, across businesses, and across different departments within a business during a business transaction. In some operations, software creates, updates, or otherwise processes information related to a cash flow expense and receipt explanation, a company financials process control, a miscellaneous subledger account, and/or a receivables payables entry business object.

Abstract: Various embodiments include one or more of systems, methods, and software for document modeling. Some embodiments include defining a document model having further models of document portions. The document portions may include a header model including a set of header methods to provide interaction capabilities to other portions of a system and one or more item models, including a set of item methods to provide interaction capabilities to other portions of the system. The header model and the one or more item models may each include an association with one or more component models. Each component model may include a set of component methods to provide interaction capabilities to other portions of the system and component specific logic accessible through the component methods. Maps may also be provided between the models and wall as a link between the set of component methods and the component specific logic.
