Abstract: The present disclosure describes a system, method, and computer program for real-time and computationally efficient calculation of a recommended value range for a quote variable, such as price, discount, volume, or closing time. The system uses the highest-density interval (HDI) of probability density function (PDF) as a recommended or suggested value range for a quote variable. PDFs for the quote variable are precomputed for groups of related inputs, and each PDF is summarized as an array of discrete points. A dimension reduction technique is applied to the PDF inputs in both the training and real-time (non-training) phases to reduce the number of possible combinations of PDFs. During a quote-creation process, a PDF look-up table enables the system to efficiently identify an applicable PDF from the group of precomputed PDFs based on reduced input values.

Abstract: The present disclosure describes a system, method, and computer program for creating and deploying prepackaged, predictive and prescriptive analytics modules for use with a quote-to-cash application. When deployed, the prepackaged analytics modules execute seamlessly, from the user's perspective, with the quote-to-cash application to provide predictions, recommendations, or other data-driven insights at one or more places in the quote-to-cash process. The modules are created by leveraging a pre-defined transactional data model that is native to the quote-to-cash application. A separate instance of the module is created for each customer that deploys a module. A customer's instance of the module is automatically retrained with the customer's own quote-to-cash data during the deployment phase by retrieving customer data matching metadata definitions predefined by the quote-to-cash application.

Abstract: Computer architecture including an add-in for linking document creation application with a cloud-based structured database management system and for and integrating a social network media feeds. Integrating social network media feeds and calibration tools into a word processing application linked with a contract creation and contract lifecycle management application. Integrating social network media feeds and calibration tools of a social network that runs on the same platform as the structured database management system and that shares log-in credentials with the structured database management system. The integrated social network media feeds include media feeds related to information feeds corresponding to a portion of a document open in said document creation application.

Abstract: This disclosure relates to a system, method, and computer program that enables users to initiate quote-to-cash system actions and receive quote-to-cash system output via a virtual/augmented reality interface. A virtual reality client device provides a virtual/augmented reality user interface via which the user can initiate one of a plurality of quote-to-cash action requests, such as requesting a quote or configuring a product. In response to the user selecting a quote-to-cash action, the client device displays a virtual/augmented scene with graphical images that correspond to parameters of a quote-to-cash action. The user is able to specify parameters for the quote-to-cash action by interacting with these images in the virtual/augmented reality scene.

Abstract: Linking structured database management systems with document creation tools. Allowing the user of a document creation application to access cloud-based or behind firewall contract creation and management utilities without ever leaving the document interface itself. Inserting object templates stored in a cloud-based contract creation and management application from a native document creation application and flagging the document itself to indicate the presence of intelligent fields of structured data.

Abstract: Managing a plurality of document versions saved in a cloud-based structured database management system. Allowing the user of a document creation application to add intelligence to objects within a document, thereby allowing the user to reconcile changes made to the document during a negotiation lifecycle.
