Solution Overview
Problem
Enterprises face challenges in effectively integrating and presenting data from multiple sources in a single Graphical User Interface (GUI), leading to incomplete information for business decision-making, which can result in decisions based on guesses rather than complete knowledge.
Innovation Solution
A method that integrates enterprise data from multiple sources through a common user interface, allowing users to navigate and interact with data using personnel icons, transitioning between screens to display related data such as geographical, hierarchical, and social network information, enabling informed decision-making.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of information
If data from multiple sources is integrated in a single GUI, then information completeness for decision-making is improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system segments data from multiple enterprise sources (CRM, ERP, HCM, BI) into distinct data sets, each maintaining its original structure and context. These segmented data sets are then integrated through a common GUI that preserves their individual characteristics while enabling comprehensive analysis, thus reducing information loss without overwhelming system complexity.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements a nested structure where a common GUI serves as the outer container that integrates multiple specialized data views. Each data source (CRM, ERP, HCM) is nested within the common interface, allowing users to access detailed information from each source while maintaining context through the overarching unified interface.
2Measurement precision
If specialized reports are prepared by experts, then measurement precision of business insights is improved, but loss of time and productivity decrease
Solution Approach 1:
The system enables self-service by providing a common GUI that allows business users to directly access and analyze integrated data from multiple sources without requiring expert intervention. Users can independently generate insights and make decisions based on the comprehensive data presentation, eliminating the time loss associated with waiting for expert-prepared reports.
Solution Approach 2:
The common GUI serves multiple functions simultaneously: it integrates data from various sources, presents information in accessible formats, enables user interaction with the data, and supports decision-making processes. This multi-functional interface replaces the need for separate specialized reports while maintaining measurement precision.
3Adaptability or versatility
If multiple data sources are integrated, then adaptability for informed decision-making is improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The common GUI is designed as a universal interface that can adapt to present data from multiple different sources (CRM, ERP, HCM, BI) in a consistent manner. It provides versatility by enabling users to access and analyze different types of enterprise data through a single interface, thereby improving adaptability for informed decision-making without requiring separate systems for each data source.
Data Source
AI summary
A system and method for facilitating integrating enterprise data from multiple sources for display via in a common interface. An example method includes displaying, via a first user interface display screen, a first set of one or more personnel icons representative of one or more enterprise personnel, and providing a first user option to select one or more of the personnel icons. A second user interface display screen may be displayed in response to or after selection of one or more of the personnel icons. The second user interface display screen presents a first type of data. The second user interface display screen further provides a second user option to select one or more user interface features associated with the first type of data, and to then trigger display of a third user interface display screen. The third user interface display presents a second type of data that is associated with the first type of data.
