A process and system for the computer-implemented management of one or more target agreements with one or more parties to the agreement by means of a target agreement computer system are provided. Each of the target agreements may comprise at least one performance target, the performance target being a measurable target value to be achieved within a given or predetermined time span, where at the start of the time span an individual target agreement is defined and at the end of the time span the degree of achievement of each measurable target value and hence of each performance target is automatically determined and an incentive payment dependent thereon is calculated and distributed. A calculation module may be provided in which the definition of an assessment scale for determining the degree of achievement of the values is laid down, and a remuneration module may be provided in which the incentive payment belonging to an assessment resulting from the assessment module is laid down. Further, an interface to a performance objective management computer system may be provided in which one or more target values for the performance target are managed. In one embodiment, the interface is used to import target values forming the basis for a comparison of target values and actual values to be carried out in the target agreement computer system.

Process for computer-implemented management of one or more target agreements and a target agreement computer system

Systems and methods are disclosed for supporting at least one allocation process for an allocation of objects in at least one application by way of an allocation framework pre-configured for the allocation process, with at least one monitoring and control unit and at least one working unit. In one implementation, the allocation process is pre-configured in the allocation framework by presetting process steps and defining their sequence. At least one work stock that can be retrieved via the allocation framework is made available and managed by the working unit for the allocation process to be supported, in which work stock allocation type-specific and application-specific allocation instructions that can be input via the allocation framework or are preset in a rule-based manner, are filed. In addition, the at least one pre-configured allocation process to be supported in the allocation framework may be instantiated and started by the working unit of the allocation framework, wherein in order to carry out the allocation process the associated work stock is processed fully automatically, partly automatically or manually as desired, and if necessary the application connected via an interface predetermined by the allocation framework is automatically addressed for performing allocation actions associated with the respective allocation process steps.

Systems and methods for supporting object allocation processes

Systems and methods are disclosed for dynamic parallel processing of a plurality of subprocesses of a process initiated by a parallel processing framework. The plurality of subprocesses may include processing of one or more data objects in a computer system including a plurality of servers for processing the plurality of data objects by the plurality of subprocesses. The method may include building work packages from the plurality of data objects according to a process-specific scheme, and dynamically distributing the work packages of the plurality of data objects among the plurality of servers according to a process-specific execution order.

Methods and systems for dynamic parallel processing

Methods and computer systems are provided for data assignment. A computing unit and a data object component for managing a set of data objects are provided. Data objects of the set of data objects can be divided into segments according to selectable criteria. An interface unit may also be provided to interconnect the computing unit and the data object component. The interface unit may be arranged and constructed to include an inventory assignment of segments created in the data object component such that, in case of an assignment inquiry by the computing unit, an assignment of one or more segments being inquired for is carried out in the interface unit.

Methods and computer systems for data assignment

Methods and systems are provided for generating a computer program, wherein the computer program is divided into a plurality of packages in a modular manner, the packages representing in their entirety the complete computer program containing basic functions and additional functions, and being individually selectable by a user when installing the computer program on a computer system in order to create a customized computer program.

Methods and systems for generating an application consistent with a profile

Methods and systems are provided for automated processing of data objects. A system for automated processing of data objects may include a computing unit and a data base containing data objects forming process chains of linked data objects. The computing unit may further comprise a selection module allowing for selection of at least one initial data object, a preparation module for identifying at least one process chain containing the initial data object to be processed and for determining all of the data objects which are linked with the selected data object in causal relation, and a process module for processing the determined data objects and the initial data object. Processing performed by the process module may include resetting the determined data objects, executing the desired processing of the initial data object and recalculating consecutively the determined data objects reset in the resetting step being in causal relation with the initial data object.

Systems and methods for automated data object processing

Systems and methods are provided for implementation of a processing procedure on an object allocated to an object category as an instance of an object type. In one embodiment, a computerized method is provided. The method may include breaking the object into separately processable, hierarchically classifiable sub-objects as instances of corresponding sub-object types, processing at least a part of the sub-objects with respective predetermined partial processing procedures specific to each sub-object type. The method may further include processing results obtained from processing the sub-objects and combining the results via a functional relationship in a processing procedure of higher rank than the partial processing procedures. An object-specific processing result may then be derived for the processing procedure.
