  • Patent number: 8626546
    Abstract: A process and system for the computer-implemented management of one or more target agreements with one or more parties to the agreement by means of a target agreement computer system are provided. 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.

  • Patent number: 8027980
    Abstract: Methods and computer systems are provided for data assignment. A computing unit and a data object component for managing a set of data objects are provided. Data objects of the set of data objects can be divided into segments according to selectable criteria. An interface unit may also be provided to interconnect the computing unit and the data object component. The interface unit may be arranged and constructed to include an inventory assignment of segments created in the data object component such that, in case of an assignment inquiry by the computing unit, an assignment of one or more segments being inquired for is carried out in the interface unit.

  • Publication number: 20070214034
    Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for the management and regulation of allocations of objects of a first entity to objects of a second entity, wherein the first entity and the second entity can in each case communicate via an interface with the system. In one exemplary embodiment, a system may comprise of at least a first register unit for registering the objects of the first entity by generating and filing allocation objects referencing the respective objects and a second register unit for registering the objects of the second entity by generating and filing business objects referencing the respective objects.

  • Publication number: 20060106928
    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.
