  • Publication number: 20230207080
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatuses to improve the handling of exceptions during the retrieval and processing of health records from various data sources are provided. During the retrieval and processing of health records, exceptions to typical behavior are recorded with context at the data extraction protocol level, at the health record level and at the level of elements with the document. Accordingly, insights may be developed and configurations, rules, or coding changes, based on the detected exceptions may be proposed. In some instances, an operator may be notified about the exceptions such that the operator may act on the insight. In some instances, the processing of extracted records (documents, messages) may be deferred until the operator has made appropriate changes to configuration, rules, or code. In some instances, the system may supplement and/or replace the operator with machine learning engines that act on the developed insights.

  • Patent number: 10649671
    Abstract: A network-based solution for processing unknown or unexpected property encountered during a migration or archiving operation may include, as embodied in various systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable storage media, accessing a plurality of objects stored in memory of a source computing system. The solution may include performing a discovery assessment on each of a plurality of operator-selected objects. The discovery assessment may include examining a property associated with a document of each selected object and notifying the operator when the examination determines that the property is unknown or unexpected.

  • Patent number: 10257147
    Abstract: A network-based solution that provides enhances management of migration and archiving operations may involve, as embodied in various systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable storage media, performing a pre-transfer assessment on each of a plurality of accessed mailboxes designated for migration or archiving. Performing the pre-transfer assessment may include designating one or more emails for exclusion from the migration or archiving operation after applying transferability rules and exception rules to each email message contained in the assessed mailbox. The solution may involve notifying the user about the email messages designated for exclusion and performing one or more user selected actions on the email message or related attachment files.

  • Patent number: 10089484
    Abstract: Systems and methods for destroying sensitive enterprise data on portable devices are provided. Such systems and methods may include providing a portable device that includes a security agent for deleting sensitive enterprise data. The security agent on the portable device can be required to regularly be authenticated by a user through an authentication server. The authentication server provides a pre-determined timeframe for which the user would need to re-authenticate. Failure by the user to re-authenticate within the pre-determined timeframe can result in the security agent proceeding with deleting the sensitive enterprise data on the portable device.

  • Publication number: 20160269329
    Abstract: A network-based solution for automatically processing large email attachments or other files during migration and archiving operations may involve downloading mailboxes from a source email platform and inspecting the mailboxes for emails containing attachment files. The solution may involve uploading a copy of the detected attachment to a storage server when a comparison determines that the file size of the detected attachment file exceeds a predetermined size limit. The solution may involve modifying the email by replacing the detected attachment with a link to the copy of the detected attachment stored at the storage server. Modifying the email may also involve generating a visual cue of the detected attachment and embedding the generated visual cue into the email.
