  • Patent number: 10728235
    Abstract: Improved methods and systems for integrating client-side single sign-on (SSO) authentication security infrastructure with a mobile authorization protocol are disclosed that provide clients with secured SSO mobile access to third-party services. Embodiments of the present invention leverage SSO authentication protocols that are utilized at many client-side systems already and integrate these SSO authentication protocols with a mobile SSO authorization protocol, thereby effectively extending the SSO framework to mobile service requests of web services at third-party service provider systems. Embodiments of the present invention provide a secure and automated solution which may be implemented in any existing client-side SSO frameworks with minimum cost and time, while providing a lightweight and secure solution that provides users using either native applications or mobile web application to access third-party web services.

  • Publication number: 20180330303
    Abstract: A system and method for promoting employee recognition and feedback are disclosed. The system is programmed to automatically collect and monitor an organization to detect recognition and feedback moments between employees and teams of the organization. Embodiments of the invention further facilitate the composition and delivery of feedback and recognition through real-time sentiment analysis of user-entered feedback. Additional embodiments are directed to the analysis of the feedback and recognition data to improve employee performance, engagement, and the company culture.

  • Publication number: 20140164073
    Abstract: Embodiments of the invention provide tools for creating recognition moments in real-time and generating recognition network graphs that represent the recognition connections throughout organizations. Recognition network graphs are utilized to transmit recognition announcements throughout the organization, which, in turn, promotes a positive organizational climate and the values of the organization and aides managers in determining employees who are critical to the prior and future success of their business initiatives even when those employees are not within their traditional organizational hierarchies or span of control. The recognition network graph highlights connections between employees that are not self-evident within traditional organization charts. The recognition network graph may depict how business objectives are achieved via both formal and informal employee connections.
