  • Publication number: 20150193639
    Abstract: The disclosed embodiments relate to a social networking system for deployment within an enterprise and a method for sharing data among a plurality of users of the enterprise-deployed social networking system. The disclosed system, in order to increase the efficiency of a worker at an enterprise, may provide a database including a plurality of data records. Each data record of the plurality of data records includes data relating to one user of the plurality of users. A permission matrix defining, for each user of the plurality of users, first permissions and second permission is also provided. Upon receipt of a request for a first data record of the plurality of data records, a source of the request is identified, and a portion of the first data record accessible to the identified source of the request is determined using the permission matrix. The portion of the first data record is transmitted to the identified source based on the determination.

  • Publication number: 20140149440
    Abstract: In order to increase the efficiency of the worker and ultimately decrease the cost of the worker performing work-related tasks, a method and a system for presenting information relevant to user activity of a user at a computing device is provided. A database including data records that each include information relevant to at least one user activity and at least one identifier identifying the at least one user activity is provided. Activities of a user are monitored and compared to the data records of the database. When a monitored activity matches an identifier of one of the data records, the information corresponding to the matched data record is presented to the user.

  • Publication number: 20050240458
    Abstract: Systems and techniques for project management and reporting. A specification manager suitably operates in the context of a business management system. The specification manager collects project information useful for constructing a high level overview of a project and creates a project model describing high level functional elements of the project. The specification manager receives detailed information about the project, suitably by periodically querying a database that is continually updated with project information as the project proceeds. The specification manager organizes the information. The information is organized around high level functional elements. The specification manager may report on and manage the project at a more general or a more specific level of detail. The specification manager supports project changes by maintaining links between change orders and the project model, so progress on a change order is automatically tracked and its impact on cost and revenue easily seen.
