Centralized Onboarding Server for Data Exchange Setup
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
The current process of setting up and configuring data exchange between internal and external software systems is time-consuming, cumbersome, and prone to errors, requiring each internal system to independently handle setup and configuration, leading to high maintenance and support costs.
Innovation Solution
A system with a back-end application computer server that facilitates the onboarding of external platforms and provides data exchange capabilities, allowing for faster and more efficient data exchange between internal and external systems by centralizing access through a connection platform, eliminating the need for individual system configurations and reducing the number of network messages.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If each internal system independently handles setup and configuration of data transfer, then system autonomy and flexibility are maintained, but the process becomes time-consuming and cumbersome
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces an intermediary system that acts as a mediator between external data systems and internal data systems. This intermediary handles the setup and configuration processes centrally, eliminating the need for each internal system to independently configure data transfer. The intermediary system pre-configures and manages the connections, significantly reducing setup time and complexity while maintaining system autonomy.
2Adaptability or versatility
If each internal system independently configures data exchange, then system independence is preserved, but complexity and error-proneness increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges the configuration and setup functions of multiple internal systems into a single centralized intermediary system. Instead of each internal system independently managing its own configuration, the intermediary system consolidates these functions, reducing overall configuration complexity and minimizing errors. This merging maintains system independence while simplifying the configuration process through centralized management.
3Productivity
If traditional independent setup processes are used, then system autonomy is maintained, but maintenance and support costs increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements a self-service mechanism where the intermediary system automatically manages setup, configuration, and maintenance of data exchange between external and internal systems. This eliminates the need for manual intervention and reduces dependency on IT support. The system performs self-configuration and self-maintenance, significantly reducing maintenance and support costs while improving data exchange efficiency.
