  • Publication number: 20220414600
    Abstract: In some embodiments, the systems and methods built in accordance with the present disclosure may analyze audience engagement with a presentation displayed during a live meeting and may provide feedback to a presenter during and/or after the presentation. In some embodiments, the provided feedback may include determining one or more metrics indicative of participant engagement levels. Participant engagement levels may then be used to adjust live meetings in real-time and/or after the live meeting has ended. A system may include one or more presenter computing devices, one or more participant computing devices and a server system including a data analytics module configured to determine metrics indicative of participant engagement levels.

  • Patent number: 9628335
    Abstract: Various embodiments herein include at least one of systems, methods, and software for building and transporting centrally configured and modified software systems. Such embodiments provide for a virtual appliance to be configured and customized prior to transport of the virtual appliance to the target organization. Once configured and customized, the software system of the virtual appliance is reassembled into a virtual appliance, transported, and rapidly deployed in a form as needed by the organization. This results in significant cost, time, and risk exposure mitigation.

  • Patent number: 9436515
    Abstract: A system and method for performing load balancing of systems in a multi-tenancy computing environment by shifting tenants from an overloaded system to a non-overloaded system. Initially, a determination is made as to whether a first tenant desires an access to an instance of a software application. The same instance of the software application is being accessed by other tenants of a first system. If the tenant desires access to the same instance of the software application, the tenant is created at the first system. The created first tenant and the other tenants exist in a multi-tenancy computing environment that enables the first tenant and the other tenants to access a same instance of a software application. Then, it is checked whether the first system is overloaded. If the first system is overloaded, load balancing is performed as follows. The first tenant is exported from the overloaded first system to a lesser loaded second system.

  • Patent number: 9342330
    Abstract: Various embodiments provide mechanisms that mitigate organizational exposures when evaluating and choosing computer applications, enhancements, and modifications thereto. Some embodiments provide technological solutions that allow for rapid application prototyping, deployment, evaluation, testing, and the act of going live in a production environment. Some such embodiments provide applications including content and data, in the form of virtual appliance templates, that is pre-installed, pre-configured, pre-tested, and pre-loaded in a very rapid manner. Some embodiments may further allow for cloning of the instantiated application to another virtual computing environment, and utilization from that location on forward looking basis.
