Abstract: Methods and apparatuses enable finding and resolving intercompany (I/C) transaction issues in accounting data for a corporate enterprise. A data management tool receives general ledger data that defines intercompany account balances for multiple business entities of the corporate enterprise. The data management tool identifies a trading relationship and a currency relationship between two business entities of the corporate enterprise. The data management tool groups account balances based on the identified trading relationship and currency relationship. The data management tool generates one or more reports or indicators that indicate the grouped account balances.

Abstract: In an ATM network, data loss caused by pre-programmed network optimizations can be reduced or avoided if a record of such optimizations is made, and if, prior to another optimization, some event occurs. The detection of some external event should indicate that another optimization is warranted.

Abstract: A color-coded restoration splice block is formed to match the coloring of the individual fibers within a standard ribbon cable. Thus, during the splicing operation, the proper pairs of fibers will be mated and laid within the same fiber-holding groove, eliminating the problem of “crossing” fibers from one ribbon to another as they are spliced together. In a preferred embodiment, the entire groove is colored to match the sheath color of the pair of fibers disposed in the groove.
