Abstract: An action item specifying one or more tasks is instantiated. Thereafter, data characterizing the action item is associated with at least one tool to perform at least one task. Each tool comprises at least one service, application or procedure to facilitate or perform the at least one task. Subsequently, the at least one tool is initiated. User-generated input and/or other data is received from the at least one tool. Performance of one or more of the tasks specified by the action item is then finalized using the at least one tool and the user-generated input and/or other data. In some variations, the action item can be provisioned with at least one contextual resource to facilitate performance of at least one task. The at least one contextual resource can be associated with the action item and/or at least one user associated with the action item.

Abstract: In one embodiment, the present invention includes a computer-implemented method comprising storing information in a datastore, the information corresponding to a plurality of computer applications, wherein the plurality of computer applications have associated annotations, receiving an input from a user, providing a first verb and a first noun corresponding to a user intent based on said input, and specifying one or more of said plurality of applications based on the verb and noun annotations for the plurality of applications and the first verb and first noun corresponding to the user intent. The annotations comprise a verb describing one or more activities performed by an associated application and a noun describing work objects on which the activities are performed. Users access the applications in the datastore.

Abstract: A compliance manager system automates monitoring, reporting, certification and remediation of user entitlements and roles, making it possible for organizations to easily establish a sustainable access governance model. The system enables organizations to gain enterprise-wide visibility into all user entitlements and roles and, in particular, to monitor who has access to what application, how they got access, and who approved such access. In one embodiment, a discovery and aggregation mechanism acquires identity, entitlement and role information together with associated metadata from enterprise infrastructure and applications. This information is normalized producing a unified view that is complete and correlated across users, entitlements, roles and resources.
