Abstract: A method of managing user contacts and associations between the user contacts that employs parent accounts that are created to enable primary users to create a parent profile. Each parent account functions as the repository for the contact information for the primary user's colleagues. The method is used to determine which of the primary user's colleagues have parent accounts of their own. The method then facilitates communication between the primary user and these colleagues. In addition to organizing contact information and facilitating communication between colleagues, the method contains multiple life-management processes that the primary user is able to employ as desired.

Abstract: An arrangement collects data from disparate system back-end sources, such as a contracts system, a billing system, a service provisioning system, and analyzes the data to determine whether any inconsistencies exist. If so, the system issues a modification request to compensate for the inconsistency.

Abstract: The present invention provides a system and a method for delivering an event from an event publisher to an event subscriber via an event broker. The event broker is a web server infrastructure which performs several functions such as receiving the published event on a server, authenticating the publisher with the published event, validating the event with XML schema definition, processing the event based on a set of predefined rules and further delivering the processed event to an authorized event subscriber.

Abstract: A computer system and techniques are disclosed that provide support for the operations of a modern telecommunication services provider. The computer system includes several software modules arranged in layers that are configured to provide services, such as a data access, workflow, and business-management functions. In some preferred embodiments, data cleansing and enterprise-view functionality are provided. An application program interface is also provided that allows a software program to execute software modules contained in the layers to perform specific tasks.

Abstract: A method, system, and article of manufacture for cleansing an enterprise database extracts data from an enterprise database, extracts reference data from a most-trusted database, determines discords between the data extracted from the enterprise database and the reference data extracted from the most-trusted database in accordance with a set of business rules, modifies the data extracted from the enterprise database based on the discords, and stores the modified data in the enterprise database. The data may be modified automatically with or without manual intervention. Discords are preferably determined on an atomic level.

Abstract: A method of modifying a network service comprising, identifying a service to be modified, determining services affected by the identified service; and performing a modification of the service level of at least the identified service, wherein the modification of the service level comprises a logical interruption of at least the identified service.

Abstract: Methods and systems for managing a multi-tiered computer infrastructure. The infrastructure includes a plurality of functional layers, wherein one of the layers is a resource allocation layer. Each functional layer includes a set of resources that are substantially interchangeable with other resources in the same layer and adapted to be able to operate with any resource in an adjacent layer. The resource allocation layer receives and manages information regarding the status of the resources and allocates the resources to a task in accordance with utilization levels and operability of any particular resource.

Abstract: A method for maintaining high availability for an on-line database which includes: creating a first user account having a plurality of first tables and first schema objects; creating a second user account having a plurality of second tables and second schema objects; creating a third user account having a first set of synonyms for the first tables and first schema objects; creating a fourth user account having a second set of synonyms for the second tables; accessing the first user account using the first set of synonyms; modifying data using the second set of synonyms into the second user account to provide a plurality of revised second tables and revised second schema objects; dropping the first set of synonyms; creating a third set of synonyms in the third user account for the plurality of revised second tables and revised second schema objects; and accessing the second user account using the third set of synonyms.

Abstract: A virtual data warehouse (the functional equivalent of a conventional data warehouse) that provides aggregated views of the complete data inventory. The virtual data warehouse contains metadata, which is used to form a logical enterprise data model that is part of the database of record (DBOR) infrastructure. Each legacy back-end database system is published on the infrastructure, with its metadata extracted and used as noted above. The infrastructure software uses standard J2EE, JMS and reusable EJBs, for transactional unit requests, and ETL (extract-transform-load) tools for real-time bulk loading of data.
