  • Patent number: 11271752
    Abstract: One or more application forms can be hosted, which application forms are received from a service provider, the service provider having been authenticated by at least one data custodian of a set of data custodians. One or more application forms include at least form fields to be populated with information. A user selection of an application form to be automatically populated can be received, the user having been authenticated by at least one data custodian of the set of data custodians. Data request is sent to at least one data custodian of the set of data custodians for automatically populating at least some of the form fields. Received data from said at least one data custodian can be collated and used to populate one or more form fields. The populated form fields can be returned to the service provider, for instance, provided a minimum requirement is met.

  • Patent number: 11093885
    Abstract: Providing enterprise recommendations includes determining a change of a maturity score of an enterprise architecture assessment domain model associated with an enterprise architecture. The change of the maturity score is indicative of a change of a maturity state of the enterprise architecture assessment domain model. One or more maturity model types that exceed a predetermined degree of change are determined, and at least one assessment capability group for each maturity model type is determined. One or more assessment capabilities are selected for each assessment capability group based on one or more selection criteria. One or more recommendation templates are selected for each selected assessment capability based upon one or more template selection rules. A first set of recommendations are compiled based on the selected recommendation templates, and the first set of recommendations are output.

  • Publication number: 20200136898
    Abstract: Disclosed are systems and methods for network configuration management systems and methods. In some embodiments, the discloses systems and methods may involve receiving data from one or more nodes within a particular network. The data may include, for example, topology, telemetry, geographical, and other data relating to the nodes, the network, and/or the functionality of the nodes or network. Once received, such data may be cleaned and processing may be performed on the data. Such processing may involve clustering the data into groups based on various parameters and performing forecasting on the data to determine future usage rates and capacity information, for example. The clustering and forecasting results may be fed to a rules engine and/or an optimization engine, which may then determine appropriate actions to take on the network (e.g., changes to various nodes in terms of technology and/or number of nodes).

    Abstract: Techniques regarding providing artificial intelligence problem descriptions are provided. For example, one or more embodiments described herein can comprise a system, which can comprise a memory that can store computer executable components. The system can also comprise a processor, operably coupled to the memory, and that can execute the computer executable components stored in the memory. The computer executable components can include, at least: a query component that generates key performance indicators from a query, determines a subset of key performance indicators that individually have a performance below a threshold, and maps the subset of key performance indicators to operational metrics; a learning component that generates, using artificial intelligence, problem descriptions from one or more of the subset of key performance indicators or the operational metrics and transmits the problem descriptions to a database.
