Abstract: A novel approach to facilitating access to valuable actionable content from a multi-tenant database involves system generated ranking of connection content with associated data retrieval methods and systems, utilizing “connector” scores to rank responsive content. The system “learns” how to optimize retrieving and ranking high value actionable content with experience; and applies optimized scoring parameters to enhance future operations. The computer platform is greatly improved by delivering actionable content that is immediately translated into critical operations and tasks recommended by the system to support transactions for the User.

Abstract: Write back to customer relationship management systems is provided. Data logging of activities can be performed for sales professionals that use other third-party software solutions during their selling process. The logged data can be written back to the CRM system instead of needing input by the sales professionals. Certain data and generated insights can be written back to further enhance the data available to clients' sales organizations. Capability of writing back to target CRM systems can leverage existing APIs. Identification of data to be written back to the CRM systems is performed by an intelligent write back (IWB) system. The IWB system will write back to the standard objects in tenant CRMs. The IWB system can create custom fields within those objects for write back data.

Abstract: A computer based system manages the collection, analysis and presentation of data. The system in one arrangement includes an online platform for collecting and unifying data across multiple channels. The platform also provides a vehicle for a plurality of users/groups to collectively analyze the data. The present system in one illustrative embodiment thus provides a data clearinghouse for gathering information from a plurality of channels, facilitating the sharing of this information, and facilitating the cooperative analysis of this information.

Abstract: A computer based system manages the collection and analysis of data on promotions and commerce supported by the promotions. The system in one arrangement includes a first web portal for harvesting promotion based data relating to commerce and a second web portal for bringing sellers of media channel inventory into communication with buyers of media channel space. The first portal includes a first programmed processor for collecting an identifier key associating a user with a selected promotion. Engagement is facilitated by one or more tools to actively build user specific data that characterizes the effectiveness of the promotion. A tracking methodology is implemented to further collect data associated with the user and the promotion in assessing promotion impact on commerce. A second web portal is linked to a programmed processor and database. The processor implements an allocation algorithm that assists in pricing promotions based on the promotions effectiveness as measured by user responsiveness thereto.

Abstract: A system for facilitating product and services distribution, the system including a system processor for receiving and processing data associated with promotional indicia that is placed on a mailing, and for processing data associated with feedback from recipients of the mailings. The promotional indicia include a code associated with the mailing recipient and information associated with a communication portal. A communication channel connects the recipients to the system processor via the communication portal. An advertising method is provided including providing advertisement indicia on a mailing or other display. The indicia are customized for a recipient and include a promotion, code, and portal information. Use of the code in the portal is analyzed. Also described herein are auction systems for facilitating offers and sales of advertising space, and envelopes pre-printed with advertising indicia.
