Abstract: Many software vendors offer their software via online service platforms. In one embodiment of a software services distribution system, a cloud services broker is used. A cloud services broker is an organization that acts as an intermediary between subscribers/end users and SaaS vendors. Billing in a cloud services broker system is managed through the cloud services broker because the cloud services broker is the only entity capable of managing the many relationships in such a software distribution system. However, revenue matching and settlement may be problematic. For example, the complexities of billing in a cloud broker system arise because of the intermingling of the types of SaaS vendors, the influence of resellers, and the various billing schemes offered by each of these entities. Implementing such a billing scheme must account for the variations in billing rules and billing schemes from the entities throughout the hierarchy (i.e. SaaS vendors, resellers, sub-resellers, etc.). Furthermore, there may be a disparity between billing rules from upstream entities (e.g. SaaS vendors) and downstream entities (e.g. resellers), whereby billing imposed on subscriber end users based on one particular entity billing scheme is inappropriate. The present disclosure relates to an improved system and method for matching revenue streams in a cloud service broker platform.

Abstract: A system and method for multi-tenant single sign-on (SSO) identity management with dynamic attribute retrieval, the system includes at least one service provider, at least one service provider plug-in, and a service automation platform. A method for multi-tenant SSO identity management with dynamic attribute retrieval, includes the steps of receiving a link to a service provider at an SSO dispatcher, the SSO dispatcher identifying a service, requesting at the SSO dispatcher, user attributes for the at least one service provider, assembling at a service provider handler implementation, a response query, retrieving identity provider credentials from the service automation platform, signing at the SSO dispatcher, a package for a user's authentication, and redirecting the package to the service provider.

Abstract: A method for periodic checking of localized lines in the application source code before the assembled application is propagated into message files (*.po). An automated internationalization of lines for all supported application languages is provided. The lines and their translations in locale files (JSON) are validated against the message files (PO). The un-localized lines are checked in the source code using a localization marker. According to the APS, a special trap (i.e., a hook) is used for APS msgmake utility in order to derive localization data from a set of aps_command_line_tools for assembling a user interface. The lines are corrected and loaded back into “*.po” file.

Abstract: Computerized systems and methods are described for generating and optimizing vendor product roadmaps using predictive insights. Leveraging a Real-Time Data Mesh (RTDM) module, data from diverse sources including market trends, customer feedback, and technological advancements is aggregated and standardized. An Analytics and Machine-Learning (AAML) module analyzes this data to generate predictive insights, facilitating adjustments to existing product roadmaps. Dynamic adjustments are made using a roadmap optimization module, with communication facilitated through a Single Pane of Glass (SPoG) user interface (UI). Scenario analysis, decision-support systems, and continuous monitoring improve strategic decision-making.

Abstract: Technologies for scaling user interface (UI) backend clusters for database-bound applications include a plurality of UI application servers and a master database server. Each UI application server is configured to retrieve a session sequence ID associated with a present user session that corresponds to a sequence ID of a master database of the master database server during a most recent write operation of data to a master database during the present user session. Additionally, the UI application servers are configured to read, from a local read-only database, a local database sequence ID that corresponds to a sequence ID of the master database during a most recent asynchronous replication of the master database to the local read-only database. The UI application servers are further configured to read the data from the local read-only database in response to a determination that the session sequence ID is empty, or is less than or equal to the local database sequence ID. Additional embodiments are described herein.

Abstract: Technologies for creating and distributing integration connectors in cloud service brokerage systems include a developer portal computing device communicatively coupled to a connector hub of a marketplace computing. The developer portal computing device is configured to receive information from a developer via a developer UI portal of a developer portal computing device. Such information includes connector descriptor information for a connector associated with a cloud service and one or more resource types of the connector. The developer portal computing device is further configured to build, via a connector builder of the developer portal computing device, the connector as a function of the connector descriptor information and the one or more resource types, generate a connector package for the built connector, and transmit the generated connector package to a connector hub of a cloud service marketplace computing device, wherein the connector package is usable to create one or more instances of the connector. Additional embodiments are described herein.

Abstract: The invention proposes a simpler and more efficient method for building a navigation schema in a cloud service broker platform (CSB) that builds a complex user interface (UI) from the CSB platform to an integrated connector application. The present disclosure automates navigation schema generation by obtaining a connector package, transforming a navigation schema therein from a hierarchical form to a plain form, and creating a modified schema for such. The present disclosure further discloses a method for creating a navigation schema template according to chosen placeholders and helps a user to fill in the template, and further check the created schema.
