Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions

Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional enterprise-related software and computing processes are inadequate in managing complex enterprise functions, leading to risks of attrition, cancellations, and loss of customers due to lack of flexibility and adaptability in managing enterprise data, workflows, and security, particularly in CRM and ERP applications.

Innovation Solution

An enterprise computing platform with a foundational engine that generates and manages component data objects, utilizing a workspace builder application, permissions workbench, and persona builder to create customizable workspaces and permissions, enhancing security and adaptability by integrating data from multiple sources and providing role-based access.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If conventional enterprise software is used, then basic enterprise functions can be performed, but the system lacks flexibility and adaptability in managing enterprise data and workflows

Engineering Contradiction:

Improveflexibility and adaptability in managing enterprise data and workflowsVSAvoidrisk of attrition, cancellations, and loss of customers

Core Design Contradiction:

Adaptability or versatilityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements dynamic personas that can be created, modified, and deleted to represent different roles within the enterprise. These personas dynamically control access to logical components and data, allowing the system to adapt to changing organizational structures and requirements while maintaining security and reliability

Inventive Principle:

Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The persona builder application serves multiple functions: it creates personas, assigns permissions, controls access to logical components, and manages enterprise data workflows. This multi-functional approach provides both adaptability through customizable personas and reliability through centralized security management

Inventive Principle:

Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

2Ease of operation

If flexible access control is implemented, then user customization and role-based access are improved, but system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:

Improveuser customization and role-based accessVSAvoidsystem complexity

Core Design Contradiction:

Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces personas as intermediary entities between users and the enterprise computing platform. These personas simplify access control by serving as standardized role representations that mediate between user needs and system security requirements, reducing the complexity of direct user-to-component permission management

Inventive Principle:

Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The system creates simplified copies of user roles and permissions through personas. Instead of managing complex individual user permissions, the system uses persona templates that can be replicated and assigned to multiple users, reducing system complexity while maintaining ease of customization

Inventive Principle:

Principle #26Copying

3Loss of information

If enterprise data is managed with traditional tools, then basic data storage is achieved, but transparency between front office and back office functions is lacking

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvetransparency between front office and back office functional activitiesVSAvoidability to correct enterprise processes to avoid or mitigate risk

Core Design Contradiction:

Loss of informationVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments enterprise data access and management through distinct personas representing different functional areas (front office, back office, etc.). Each persona has tailored access to relevant logical components and data, enabling transparent viewing of enterprise-wide processes while maintaining functional specialization and improving risk mitigation capabilities

Inventive Principle:

Principle #1Segmentation

AI summary

Various embodiments relate generally to data science and data analysis, computer software and systems, and computing architectures and data models configured to facilitate management and performance of enterprise functions, and, more specifically, to an enterprise computing and data processing platform configured to implement applications and computerized tools configured to facilitate implementation of an enterprise data model to generate and manage component data objects representing enterprise tasks and processes, as well as portions thereof, any of which may be used to create and modify an enterprise data flow or a process flow, for example, using an enterprise computerized tool. In some examples, a method includes activating one or more applications as computerized tools to access user account and enterprise function data, identifying permissions, and filtering access to logical components as a function of, for example, persona application data generated using a persona builder application.
