Abstract: The present inventive subject matter is drawn to systems, configurations, and methods that assist salespersons of an organization to conduct in-person sales at a remote location by automatically selecting a subset of products that are available for sales to salespersons at the remote location. In one aspect of the invention, the systems, configurations, and methods detect the location of the in-person sales meeting between the salesperson and a potential customer and automatically display the subset of products that is available for sales based on the location of the sales meeting and a set of rules.

Abstract: The present inventive subject matter is drawn to a system for managing sales of a set of products that require signatures from at least one party. In one aspect of the invention, the systems, configurations, and methods automatically detect, in an application, any signature that is required to complete the sales and is missing from the application and attempt to obtain signatures from the required signer(s) using different modalities. The different modalities include, but not limited to, e-mail, text messages, telephone call, etc. In some embodiments, the system is also configured to assign a human agent to retrieve the missing signature if the signature is not received within a predetermined amount of time.

Abstract: The present inventive subject matter is drawn to apparatus, systems, configurations, and methods of automatically interfacing with different proprietary insurance administration systems. In one aspect of the invention, an insurance management system is configured to automatically receive, convert, and transmit customer data from an intermediary data format to proprietary data formats associated with different insurance administration systems.

Abstract: An extensible framework provides a unified interface for data manipulation in a dynamic object-based format. A data access layer of the Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) Graphical User Interface (GUI) component uses ODBC to read and write files. Four abstractions implement the framework. These are (1) a CDatabaseManager class that provides access to data stored in a database; (2) a CSpecializedFile class which composes a CDatabaseManager that abstracts the management of reading and writing to database files and provides a unified interface for use by accessors.

Abstract: A console operates a computer which includes a multiplicity of processors. The console displays an activate icon, a grouping icon and a multiplicity of icons which represent the multiplicity of processors, respectively. The console supports the definition of a group of the processors based on user selection of two or more of the processor icons and the grouping icon. In response to the definition, the console displays a group icon which represents the selected processors. The console also supports activation of the group of processors by selecting the group icon and the activate icon. After the group of processors is activated, the console can still display the group icon. Thus, further action can be taken on the group as a whole without redefining the group. A second group of processors containing one or more of the processors of the first group and one or more other processors can also be defined as described above. The console displays both group icons.
