Abstract: A system for monitoring inventory based on Internet of things (IoT) devices is provided. In some implementations, the system performs operations comprising receiving, from at least one IoT device, a first indication that a first item has entered a predefined location, the first indication comprising an identification of the first item and an identification of the predefined location, and/or updating a current inventory for a household by adding the first item to the current inventory and marking the first item as being in stock. The operations can further include receiving, from the at least one IoT device, a second indication that the first item has exited the predefined location, and/or updating the current inventory by marking the first item as being in use based on the identification of the first item and the identification of the predefined location. Related systems, methods, and articles of manufacture are also described.

Abstract: The present disclosure describes methods, systems, and computer program products for providing personalized demo environments in a software-related sales environment. One method includes identifying a set of configuration information defined in a software configuration application, wherein the set of configuration information defines at least one selected option for a proposed software solution, receiving a request to provide a software demo environment for the solution, and providing a demo system with the set of configuration information, where the demo system can generate a demo environment based on the set of configuration information. The set of configuration information can include a set of scoping selections associated with a business application.

Abstract: The present disclosure describes methods, systems, and computer program products for synchronizing opportunity information in a software-related sales environment. One method includes identifying, at a software configuration application, a first set of opportunity information from a software reseller and a second set of opportunity information from a software provider, where the first and second set of opportunity information associated with a prospective software customer. The method further includes integrating the first and second set of opportunity information into a combined set of opportunity information within the software configuration application and identifying at least one modification to the combined set of opportunity information. The method then provides the at least one identified modification to the combined set of opportunity information to the software reseller and the software provider to synchronize the first and second sets of opportunity information.

Abstract: The present disclosure describes methods, systems, and computer program products for providing configuration recommendations as part of a sales process. One computer-implemented method includes determining that a general recommendation engine (GRE) is available to make a GRE configuration recommendation for a selected software application, generating, by operation of a computer, the GRE configuration recommendation for the selected software application based upon GRE-applicable recommendation data and recommendation rules, determining that a private recommendation engine (PRE) is available to make a PRE configuration recommendation for the selected software application, determining that the PRE is permitted to make the PRE configuration recommendation based upon analyzed coordination rules, and generating, by operation of a computer, the PRE configuration recommendation for the selected software application based upon PRE-applicable recommendation data and recommendation rules.

Abstract: A system for transacting business applications among a prospective buyer, a provider, and a third-party partner includes a server including one or more processors and memory storing one or more programs, the one or more programs including instructions to: provide for display of an interface of an online store of business applications, the online stored being accessible by the prospective buyer, the provider, and the third-party partner; in response to receiving a request for a business application from the prospective buyer, retrieve a profile of the prospective buyer; identify information of users who have similar profiles to the profile of the prospective buyer based on purchase history; analyze the purchase history of the identified users; determine a configuration of the business application based on the analysis; and provide the configuration of the business application to the prospective buyer as a recommendation.

Abstract: A balanced web analytics scorecard comprises perspectives, objectives and measures based on web analytics. The balanced web analytics scorecard comprises at least one perspective relating to web-based activities of an organization, such as a traffic generation perspective, a visitor engagement perspective, a growth and innovation perspective or an e-commerce perspective. The web analytics are based on user interactions with a website. Scores for web analytic-based measures are calculated based on the web analytics, and scores for objectives associated with web analytic-based measures are based on measure scores. Updated balanced web analytics scorecards can be stored on computer-readable media or presented at a display of a computing device.

Abstract: Monitoring a connection between computer system layers includes detecting that an aspect is being modified in a transactional layer of an enterprise resource computing system that further includes an analytical layer configured to receive data from the transactional layer. In response to the detection, it is determined whether at least one of several decoupling components, configured for use by the analytical layer in receiving the data, is implicated by the aspect. A predefined output is made to a user based on the determination. An enterprise resource computing system includes a transactional layer and an analytical layer, and decoupling components for use by the analytical layer in receiving the data. Upon an aspect of the transactional layer being modified, a predefined output is made to a user based on a determination of whether any of several decoupling components is implicated by the aspect.

Abstract: Performance indicators selected for an organization. In some exemplary implementations, a system for selecting performance indicators that are relevant for an organization's business strategies includes a questionnaire tool to present questions to a Graphical User Interface (GUI) user. The system also includes a performance indicator wizard to receive responses for the questions presented in the GUI and to generate a list of recommended performance indicators and optional performance indicators for the organization.
