  • Publication number: 20110153480
    Abstract: Techniques are described for generating an assessment of capital state of the commercial enterprise, which may be referred to as a capital health check. Financial key performance indicators for a commercial enterprise are adjusted. The adjusted financial key performance indicators represent lower credit risk than credit risk reflected by the unadjusted financial key performance indicators. A qualitative scoring model is applied to the adjusted financial key performance indicators to generate an assessment of capital state of the commercial enterprise. Authentication of the assessment of the capital state of the commercial enterprise by a third-party financial representative is enabled.

  • Patent number: 7594191
    Abstract: Information is visually presented to a computer user by receiving, in a computer system, a request to present a first visual item representing a first information portion selected from an information collection available in the computer system. It is determined, in response to the request: (i) which of several predefined categories the first information portion is associated with, and (ii) which of several predefined generality levels the first information portion has. A presentation that includes an area divided into segments extending between a center and a periphery of the area is generated on a display device. The segments correspond to the respective predefined categories and the area is concentrically divided into levels corresponding to the respective predefined generality levels. The first visual item is placed in one of the segments and at one of the levels according to its determined category and generality level. Item distribution effectively uses available space.

  • Publication number: 20070260928
    Abstract: A system and method for providing engineered decoupling in a development environment. According to an embodiment of the invention, an infrastructure framework is configured to process one or more service requests from a frontend application, an actual runtime engine is associated with the infrastructure framework and configured to implement functionality for processing the one or more service requests, the actual runtime engine having development completed according to at least one development phase and under development according to a subsequent development phase, and a simulated runtime engine is associated with the infrastructure framework and configured to simulate at least a portion of the actual runtime engine as developed according to the at least one development phase.

  • Publication number: 20060047544
    Abstract: A software training approach utilizes customized training activities to provide effective customized learning operations for users. Through an association of the user identifier, such as a login, an application determines when an activity occurs requiring training. Based on the user identifier, a customized training activities are retrieved and executed providing a software training based on the specific user in immediate proximity to the actual operation of the computing activity being the subject of the training operations.

  • Publication number: 20060047672
    Abstract: The generation and adjustment of a training object allows for the customized training for a user on a software application. Based on a user identification, the training object may be generated to cover targeted topics for learning while avoiding extraneous subject matter. The training object is generated using knowledge transfer modules composed of knowledge transfer objects. The selection of the knowledge transfer objects is determined based on attributes associated with a user identification and factors associated with the identified user. Therefore, when the user accesses and executes a training object associated with the specific user, the training objects provide directed and targeted training.
