A method, computer program product, and computer system for monitoring, at a computing device, at least a portion of a collaboration session provided by one or more participants of the collaboration session. At least the portion of the collaboration session is analyzed to determine a recommendation associated with at least the portion of the collaboration session. A source for information associated with the recommendation is searched based upon, at least in part, analyzing at least the portion of the collaboration session. At least one participant of the one or more participants is presented the recommendation and the information associated with the recommendation.

Providing of recommendations determined from a collaboration session system and method

A method, system and computer program product for managing work and personal items. Information is received from a user to populate a user profile providing rules to determine a priority for work and personal items to be addressed by the user. Work and personal data sources (e.g., e-mails, social media) are monitored. The content in these monitored data sources are scanned and analyzed for work and personal items to be addressed by the user. These work and personal items are then presented to the user in a prioritized order based on the rules in the user profile. In this manner, the user is able to effectively manage the various work and personal items from various data sources by receiving a prioritized list of work and personal items that need to be addressed based on various factors that the user deems to be important as provided in the user's profile.

Prioritizing work and personal items from various data sources using a user profile

Various embodiments provide for the use of analytics to determine a number of key factors prior to a user sending a communication (e.g., an email or instant message, making an online social media post, or accepting or requesting friendship on a social media site). The analytics may determine content, subject, emotion, relationships, and other relevant details when users interact (e.g., with email or other social software). Any alerts/suggestions provided can be provided in real-time as the person types.

Aligning content and social network audience using analytics and/or visualization

A system and method for tracking and synchronizing related data elements in disparate storage systems is provided.
