Abstract: A user management construct, referred to as a persona, is provided to enable a flexible mechanism that grants elevated or administrative privileges to users, such as application developers. Developers may utilize the privileges bestowed by a persona to execute tasks that normally requires access by traditional information (IT) roles, such as IT administrators, to deploy applications in a cloud computing environment. The tasks may include the provisioning of virtual or physical computing resources and/or the configuration of compute, storage, and networking resources.

Abstract: A method for synthesizing mobile applications is provided. The method includes receiving a mobile application specification and compiling a first native mobile application based at least in part on the mobile application specification. A second native mobile application is then compiled based at least in part on the mobile application specification. The first native mobile application is sent to a first client device. The first native mobile application is specific to the first client device and the first native mobile application is capable of being executed by the first client device. The second native mobile application is sent to a second client device, the second native mobile application being specific to the second client device and the second native mobile application is capable of being executed by the second client device.

Abstract: Systems, apparatus and methods are described that provide abstractions, automation, personalization, tools and delivery systems useful in the publication, sharing, viewing, communication, transmission and reception of information on telephone networks. The invention provides systems, apparatus and methods for conducting transactions on telephone networks, for automated, customized, integrated and bimodal responses to phone calls. Subscribers may customize and configure personalized and customized automated response systems that are adaptable based on caller identity and time of day. Flexible customization of responses is enabled using rule-based engines. Personalized subscriber identities enable callers to reach subscribers without direct access to subscriber telephone numbers. Subscriber telephone numbers can be aggregated and accessed through a single contact point. Flexible automated call forwarding to appropriate subscriber telephone numbers is provided.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is technology for, among other things, initiating a voice chat. The technology includes accepting information identifying one or more individuals to invite to participate in the voice chat, initiating calls to the one or more individuals to invite the individuals to join the voice chat, and establishing the voice chat amongst all individuals who accept their respective invitations to join in the voice chat with voice advertisements and chat control supported within the voice chat.

Abstract: Systems, apparatus and methods are described that provide data services including publication and viewing of personal and business content on phone devices via phone networks. The invention provides systems, methods, tools and delivery systems useful in the publication, sharing, viewing, searching, communication, transmission, alerting, notification & feedback, collaboration and commerce on telephone networks.—Subscribers may publish content specifically targeted for phones and view such content on existing phone devices, on phone networks. Subscribers may search for relevant content on phone devices and may send/receive alerts that can be tied to their search operations. Subscribers may also create, join, participate in communities via their phone devices as well as, view, and update content designed specifically for such phone communities. Commerce can also be initiated and automated end-to-end via Fonemine services, protocols, and abstractions that are described in this invention.

Abstract: A method of using a dynamic computing environment to facilitate a sales preparation of a first software is provided. The method comprises configuring the dynamic computing environment for a first hardware, a first software environment and a first network configuration, preparing for sales of the first software using the first hardware, the first software environment, and the first network configuration of the dynamic computing environment, configuring the dynamic computing environment for a second hardware, a second software environment, and a second network configuration; and preparing for sales of the first software using the second hardware, the second software environment, and the second network configuration of the dynamic computing environment. A method of using dynamic computing environments to facilitate a sales demonstration by a sales team and an evaluation by a customer is also provided.
