Abstract: The present disclosure presents methods and systems for recording and analyzing a visitor's interactions with a website aimed at determining a qualified sales lead. Lead scoring may be used based on interactions with content, navigation through a website, and the providing of information from the visitor. Events, such as lead scores exceeding a threshold value, may prompt a request for information from the visitor. Providing information may increase a profile level and allow access to previously gated content. Visitor and business information may be stored in a user profile. Interests of the visitor and an associated business area may be ascertained. The interests lead score, and progressive profiles may be used to tailor the content and organization of the website according to the needs of the visitor, to suggest content and business solutions to the visitor, and to determine if/when a visitor is qualified as a lead.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are techniques for identifying computing resources specified by a representation of a computing service. In some implementations, a request to analyze a computing service provided via a computing environment may be received. The computing service may have an activated state in which the computing service is available for use and a deactivated state in which the computing service is not available for use. The computing environment may comprise a plurality of computing resources each defining a variable unit of computing functionality within the computing environment. Each computing resource may be associated with a respective parameter corresponding with a respective parameter value that specifies a level of the variable unit of computing functionality defined by the computing resource. The computing service may be represented by a metadata model comprising a plurality of nodes, at least some of which specify a respective one or more of the parameter values.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are techniques for creating a representation of dependency relationships between computing resources within a computing environment. In some implementations, one or more sources for dependency analysis may be identified. Each source may be capable of being accessed to provide computing functionality via the computing environment. Each source may include one or more references to a respective one or more computing resources. Each computing resource may define a unit of the computing functionality available within the computing environment. A plurality of dependency relationships may be identified based on the one or more sources. A dependency relationship representation may be created based on the identified dependency relationships.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are techniques for providing a user interface component. In some implementations, a request for the user interface component may be received at a computing device. The user interface component may have a default visual presentation. A branding override may be selected from a plurality of available branding overrides. The branding override may define a modification to the default visual presentation of the user interface component. The branding override may be selected based on one or more contextual variables associated with the request for the user interface component. The user interface component may be modified in accordance with the selected branding override. The user interface component may be displayed on a display device.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are techniques for provisioning computing services. In some implementations, a plurality of computing resources available within a computing environment are identified. The plurality of computing resources may be capable of being used to provide computing services via the computing environment. Each of the computing resources may comprise a respective unit of computing functionality available within the computing environment. A plurality of dependency relationships among the computing resources may be identified. Based on the identified dependency relationships, a first one or more of the computing resources may be selected for inclusion in a license definition. A license conforming to the license definition may provide an entity with access to the computing functionality associated with the first one or more computing resources.

Abstract: A system, method, and computer program for providing independently developed applications and services to wireless telecommunication device users in a wireless communications network. The system allows independent developers to provide their applications and services to wireless device end-users via the wireless carrier network, bill a carrier and/or a subscriber for the application or service, and share in the revenues with the developer.

Abstract: The present invention provides systems and methods for the distribution and billing associated with downloading data to a wireless device. In one embodiment, a distribution center having a Unified Application Management (UAM) system performs much of the processing intensive tasks associated with downloading applications to a wireless device. A server located at the carrier facility, e.g., an Application Download Server (ADS), performs that minimal processing necessary to download relevant application information and record transaction data. In this embodiment, the ADS does not contain a relational database and communicates transaction data and information associated with applications using Extensible Markup Language (XML). The structure of the XML files used for this communication may further be optimized to only require one-pass processing thus minimizing the processing requirements of the ADS. A transaction server processes transaction data for billing.
