| 20090063212 | BUSINESS TRANSFORMATION - Business processes are transformed into a solution having a portal for a service-oriented architecture. A plan for the transformation is created, including a portal implementation roadmap. A services providing company deploys the solution to a client company. | 03-05-2009 |
| 20090064087 | Governance Framework for Architecture Design in a Service Oriented Enterprise - A reusable framework is utilized for creating a software architecture in a Service Oriented Architecture (SOA). After a general framework is created, that general framework is divided into a governance domain and an architecture domain. The architecture domain is further divided into architecture sub-domains within the architecture domain. Activities that are required for the governance domain and each of the architecture sub-domains and identified and described in detail, and owners and progress status markers for these activities are identified. The detailed descriptors of the activities, identified owners and progress status markers are then mapped onto a client-specific System Development Life Cycle (SDLC) work product to create an SOA-based software architecture. Deployment timelines for the governance domain and the architecture domain are determined, and a project plan for deploying the SOA-based software architecture is created. | 03-05-2009 |
| 20090112644 | System and Method For Implementing a Service Oriented Architecture in an Enterprise - A graphical representation of activities of an enterprise is created to aid in the implementation of a Service Oriented Architecture (SOA). The graphical representation has a vertical axis and a horizontal axis. Descriptive job titles of actors associated with the enterprise are documented along the horizontal axis. Functional domains are documented along the vertical axis. Existing business functions and existing key processes of the enterprise are then documented along the horizontal axis for each functional domain, and the functional domains are prioritized to determine an order in which the SOA is implemented. | 04-30-2009 |
| 20100011347 | MODIFYING AN INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY ARCHITECTURE FRAMEWORK - A computer-based analysis of an enterprise computer system is utilized to identify pain points that cause the enterprise computer system to operate in a non-optimal or risky manner. Upon identifying the pain points, the enterprise computer system is simulated, and simulations of replacement components that the computer-based analysis has deemed appropriate for curing the pain points are installed in the simulated system. If the computer simulation with the replacement components cures the pain points and causes no new problems for the enterprise computer system, then corresponding actual replacement components are installed in the enterprise computer system. | 01-14-2010 |
| 20100094645 | ERGONOMICS-BASED HEALTH FACILITATOR FOR COMPUTER USERS - A method, system and computer program product for facilitating ergonomics-based health in a user of a computer workstation is presented. The method includes the steps of detecting an ergonomics problem for a user of a computer workstation, wherein the ergonomics problem is directly related to a current real-time body position of the user, and wherein the ergonomics problem would likely cause an injury to the user if left uncorrected. A user health protection algorithm is then executed to generate an ergonomic recommendation. The user health protection algorithm utilizes user work parameters as inputs. The ergonomic recommendation, which will correct the ergonomics problem, is then presented to the user. | 04-15-2010 |
| 20100138760 | METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR PROVIDING AUTO-NAVIGATION OF A SERVICE REGISTRY AND REPOSITORY IN SERVICE-ORIENTED ARCHITECTURE - A method, system and computer-readable storage medium are disclosed for providing automatic navigation of a service registry and repository in a service-oriented architecture. The method includes receiving a request from a user to discover a service listed in a service registry and repository of a service-oriented architecture; automatically displaying to the user a description of a service listed in the service registry and repository; and in response to displaying the description of the service, automatically displaying to the user a description of a second service listed in the service registry and repository after a predetermined period of time expires. | 06-03-2010 |
