Abstract:

A system for resource performance management, comprising a network-connected data collection service adapted to receive data from a plurality of resources, a network-connected data aggregation and reporting service adapted to aggregate resource-related data on at least temporal, organizational, geographic, and resource-specific dimensions, a network-connected initiative modeling service adapted to facilitate modeling by a user of a plurality of resource-related initiatives, and a network-connected initiative monitoring service adapted to receive data from one of the data collection service and the data aggregation and reporting service, and further adapted to measure performance of a plurality of resource-based initiatives, wherein a plurality of resource-based initiatives are assembled within the initiative modeling service into a plurality of initiative portfolios, and the plurality of initiative portfolios are modeled under a variety of forecast scenarios to determine an optimal initiative portfolio from among the plurality of portfolios, is disclosed.

Abstract:

A system for matching potential buyers and sellers of complex offers, comprising a plurality of data collection devices, each connected to at least one packet-based data network and adapted to collect data pertaining to a plurality of potential buyers or sellers of complex offers, a summary data generator software module operating on a server computer and connected via a data network to a database, an attribute index generator software module operating on a server computer and connected via a data network to the database, a categorization software module operating on a server computer and connected via a data network to the database, a buyer analysis engine software module operating on a server computer and connected via a data network to the database, an analysis engine software module operating on a server computer and connected via a data network to the database, and a matching engine software module operating on a server computer and connected via a data network to the database. Data collected by the data collection devices is stored in the database and is used by the summary data generator software module to generate a plurality of summary data elements pertaining to a potential buyer of a complex offer, and the plurality of summary data elements is stored in the database and used by the attribute index generator software module to generate attribute indices each based on at least two summary data elements using a weighted relational algorithm, and at least some data collected by the data collection devices is used by the buyer analysis engine software module to determine at least a probability that a buyer will buy a specific complex offer, and the marching engine software module uses an optimization algorithm to determine an optimal matching of potential buyers and complex offers based at least in part on a plurality of attribute indices and a likelihood to buy for each potential pair of offers and potential buyers.
