Unified Computing Platform Unifying Layer
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Large organizations face inefficiencies due to separate business units having distinct systems and tools, leading to cumbersome resource access and steep learning curves for users when replacing or integrating legacy systems, which can be costly and disruptive.
Innovation Solution
A unified computing platform with a unifying layer that provides personalized access to resources across units, enabling users to interact with resources without knowledge of specific systems or tools, and includes an onboarding tool for client integration and intelligent trade exception handling.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If separate systems and tools are provided for each business unit, then each unit can perform its functions independently, but users must access multiple systems and tools to obtain required resources, increasing operational complexity and time consumption
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges multiple separate business unit systems into a unified platform with a common user interface. The unifying layer consolidates access points so users can reach any business unit function through a single interface, eliminating the need to navigate multiple separate systems while preserving the functional independence of each business unit.
Solution Approach 2:
The unified platform provides universal access across all business units through a single common user interface. This multi-functional interface can access any business unit's systems and tools, making the interface universal rather than unit-specific, thereby reducing the number of separate access points users must know.
2Productivity
If legacy systems are replaced with better performing systems, then functionality and performance improve, but the process is expensive, time consuming, and disruptive to organization operation
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements a unifying layer that is deployed before complete system replacement to bridge legacy systems with modern interfaces. This preliminary unifying layer enables improved functionality and performance access without requiring immediate replacement of all legacy systems, thereby reducing the time and disruption associated with full replacement.
Solution Approach 2:
The unifying layer acts as an intermediary between legacy systems and users. It provides a modern, improved interface and workflow layer while allowing legacy systems to remain in place, thus enabling performance improvement without the time-consuming and disruptive process of complete system replacement.
3Adaptability or versatility
If users are provided access to multiple systems and tools, then comprehensive resources are available, but users require knowledge of multiple places and operations to obtain resources, increasing learning requirements
Solution Approach 1:
The common user interface provides universal access to resources across all business units through a single standardized interface. This eliminates the need for users to learn multiple different interfaces and access methods, as one universal interface handles all resource access requirements regardless of which business unit the resource belongs to.
