Abstract: A data quality evaluation system can automatically detect one or more types of data anomalies or other data quality issues associated with a data processing system that may impact the quality of output generated by the data processing system. For example, the data quality evaluation system can detect data errors associated with data, detect when data is not received by the data processing system in compliance with defined schedules, detect when elements of the data processing system may be mishandling data, and/or detect when patterns of data does not correspond with historical patterns or validation data. By automatically detecting such data quality issues, technical issues or problems causing the data quality issues can be investigated and corrected.

Abstract: According to one aspect of the present disclosure, a system and technique for capacity forecasting includes a host having a processor unit and a memory. Resource data associated with an environment is stored in the memory having inventory information of storage resources of the environment. A ledger module executable by a processor unit accesses policy data associated with data archival and creates an archival transaction. The ledger module targets data for the archival transaction, links at least one storage resource to the archival transaction, and forecasts a change in capacity of the linked storage resource for the archival transaction based on the policy data.

Abstract: A document collaboration apparatus and method allows users to create, edit, manage, collaborate, and communicate over sets of documents, such as word processor documents, spreadsheets, or other types of documents. A set of documents is obtained and split into a series of fragments that are stored in a secure way in a combination of a relational database and an unstructured content store. Access to individual fragments within the series of fragments is granted to users, and proposed changes and comments are obtained in a form of structured discussions that are associated with the fragments from the document set. A controlled workflow-driven mechanism for discussion-centered collaboration is provided. Any changes to the documents from the document set are restricted to the changes that are approved in associated discussions only, providing controlled collaboration between multiple parties or groups of users, such as in multi-party contract negotiations and large scale collaborations.

Abstract: According to one aspect of the present disclosure, a method and technique for capacity forecasting includes storing, in a memory, resource data associated with an environment, the resource data comprising inventory information of applications, processing resources and storage resources of the environment. A ledger module executable by a processor unit creates a storage capacity-affecting transaction. At least one of an application, processing resource and storage resource is identified and linked to the transaction from the resource data. An initiation time and duration associated with the transaction is determined, and a change in capacity of at least one linked storage resource for the transaction is determined and a time of the change in capacity.
