Secure connections in an interactive analytic visualization infrastructure

A method and system is described securely capturing up-to-date data and presenting the up-to-date data in an analytic visualization. An update server receives a data request from a container that can display the analytic visualization. The update server generates a data processing instruction and transmits it to a data server. The update server then receives a processed data set from the data server, generates a visualization update based on the processed data set, and transmits the visualization update to the container. The container can then display the analytic visualization with up-to-date data from the data server. Because the data processing is performed at the data server, the remaining data on the data server is never moved through the network and remains secure. The update server can also receive from the container, and transmit to the data server, an identifier whose permissions limit data access from the data server.

Content feedback in a multiple-owner content management system

A computer system may include a contact center interface and a presentation interface. The contact center interface may provide a user with access to a contact center application, which manages and renders information pertaining to customer­centric problems. The presentation interface may provide the user with access to a content management system (or knowledge management system) for information regarding goods, services and associated support. The computer system may display two simultaneously visible content regions, where the operations in one content region are independent of operations in the second content region. One of the content regions may reflect the contact center interface while the other content region may reflect the information application interface. The two content regions may be dynamic such that while the regions are independent, the content displayed within one content region is context-appropriate to the other content region. Such a system may also include a display region for an instant messaging tool. The content management system may include a database having a set of content items stored in a taxonomy, where the taxonomy has at least two primary categories. The categories may associate items that represent products, items that represent services, items that represent information for campaigns, items that represent information for user procedures, and/or items that represent user intentions (customer needs). Each content item in the database may be associated to one or more content­owners. A user may submit feedback for one of the content items. That feedback may be routed to the content-owner associated to the content item without requiring the user to know or to determine who the content-owner is. The content owner may be: a content author, a content manager, an advocate for the content owner, or a team of people. The feedback may be a comment explaining any errors in the content item, a rating of the usefulness of the content item, or a ...
