Each of the target agreements may comprise at least one performance target, the performance target being a measurable target value to be achieved within a given or predetermined time span, where at the start of the time span an individual target agreement is defined and at the end of the time span the degree of achievement of each measurable target value and hence of each performance target is automatically determined and an incentive payment dependent thereon is calculated and distributed. A calculation module may be provided in which the definition of an assessment scale for determining the degree of achievement of the values is laid down, and a remuneration module may be provided in which the incentive payment belonging to an assessment resulting from the assessment module is laid down.

Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for supporting at least one allocation process for an allocation of objects in at least one application by way of an allocation framework pre-configured for the allocation process, with at least one monitoring and control unit and at least one working unit.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for implementation of a processing procedure on an object allocated to an object category as an instance of an object type. In one embodiment, a computerized method is provided. The method may include breaking the object into separately processable, hierarchically classifiable sub-objects as instances of corresponding sub-object types, processing at least a part of the sub-objects with respective predetermined partial processing procedures specific to each sub-object type. The method may further include processing results obtained from processing the sub-objects and combining the results via a functional relationship in a processing procedure of higher rank than the partial processing procedures. An object-specific processing result may then be derived for the processing procedure.

Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for executing at least one action by a first server in a computer system. The action may be triggered and initiated by a predefined adjustable fulfillment level of at least one event or incident. In one implementation, a computer-implemented method is provided, the method comprising: dynamically controlling a current fulfillment level of the at least one event or incident with respect to the predefined adjustable fulfillment level using a second server, and sending, from the second server, a trigger message to the first server as soon as the current fulfillment level corresponds to the predefined fulfillment level. The method may also include initiating, in response to the trigger message, the execution of the at least one action by the first server according to a predefined execution plan object schedule.
