Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium for searches associated with the enterprise information. In one aspect, a method includes receiving a query from a member of an enterprise; searching an index that includes member information and resources: the resources include entities and entity facts related to the enterprise; the entity facts are identified from the entities; the index includes data defining access privileges to the entities and the entity facts according entity fact access control lists; determining the entity facts that are accessible to the member according to the entity fact access control lists; determining, based on member information and entity facts, search result data including data describing entities and entity facts relevant to the query; and providing search results to the member of the enterprise, the search results including the entities and entity facts determined to be relevant to the query.

Techniques are described for exchanging data between software applications, such as project-related data between a project management software application ('PMSA') and an unaffiliated organizational project tracking software application ('OPTSA'). A computing architecture with multiple interacting computer systems, such as a client-server architecture, can be used to allow users of remote computing systems to access project-related data and/or functionality from other computing systems, such as a thin client computing system with limited or no local capabilities to execute software applications and/or store associated application data accessing a remote central server computing system in order to interact with a PMSA executing on the server, to interact with an OPTSA executing on the server, and/or to invoke data exchange functionality available at the server for exchanging project-related data between the PMSA and OPTSA.

Exchanging project-related data in a client-server architecture

A conversation server stores a hosted conversation. The conversation has an attachment that is stored at the conversation server. The conversation has an automated participant, where the automated participant is a computer-implemented participant that operates in accordance with instructions stored on an automated participant server that is distinct from the conversation server. The conversation server provides the automated participant with access to the attachment and subsequently receives, from the automated participant, a request to modify the attachment. In response to the request, the conversation server modifies the attachment in accordance with the request.

Automated participants with access to attachments in hosted conversations

A client displays a hosted conversation that is hosted at a conversation server. The conversation has an attachment that is stored at the conversation server. The conversation includes application information enabling the client to run an embedded application, where the embedded application originates from an application server that is distinct from the conversation sever system. The client runs the embedded application. The embedded application accesses the attachment; and processes the attachment to generate output data for display within the conversation. The client displays the output data within the conversation.

Embedded applications with access to attachments in hosted conversations

A hosting center that is remote from a plurality of customer environments is provided so that users can interact with data from the user's selected customer environment. The data interaction includes bi-directional synchronization of data between that of the hosting center and that of the user's selected customer environment.

Access and synchronization with enterprise applications using remote hosted solution

Techniques are described for exchanging data between software applications, such as project-related data between a project management software application ('PMSA') and an unaffiliated organizational project tracking software application ('OPTSA'). A mapping and other related information may be defined for the data exchange, such as by defining data fields of the OPTSA database and PMSA data file that correspond, and optionally specifying related information such as additional processing to be performed for various data fields during the data exchange, conditions when a mapping is to be used, ordering information for data fields during import and/or export, preferred data formats for stored values, etc. Also, in some situations round-trip data import/export is performed for a single PMSA data file, which may include tracking whether data entity instances previously existed in the destination in order to support changes to stored inter-relationships between data entity instances.
