Abstract

Technologies for managing application configurations and associated credentials of a unified collaboration application include a centralized hub computing device configured to install an integration of a cloud-based application and establish a link the integration to a unified collaboration application. To do so, the centralized hub computing device is configured to receive configuration input for the integration from a user, store the configuration in an input application configuration database of the centralized hub computing device, and enable the application integration such that a communication channel can be established between the integration and the unified collaboration application via the centralized hub computing device. Additional embodiments are described herein.

Claims24

Dependent claims

A method for managing application configurations and associated credentials of a unified collaboration application, the method comprising:

receiving, by an application integration management platform of a centralized computing device, an indication from an end-user computing device that an integration of a cloud application is to be installed and linked to a unified collaboration application;
installing, by the application integration management platform, the integration;
receiving, by the application integration management platform, configuration input for the integration from the end-user computing device;
storing, by the application integration management platform, the configuration in an input application configuration database of the application integration management platform;
receiving, by the application integration management platform, an enablement message from the end-user computing device indicating the integration is to be enabled;
and
transmitting, by the application integration management platform, an enablement notification to an application provider of the cloud application, wherein the enablement notification is usable to identify the integration.

4 more elements

A centralized hub computing device for managing application configurations and associated credentials of a unified collaboration application, the centralized hub computing device comprising:

one or more computer-readable medium comprising instructions;
and
one or more processors coupled with the one or more computer-readable medium and configured to execute the instructions to:
receive an indication from an end-user computing device that an integration of a cloud application is to be installed and linked to a unified collaboration application;
install the integration at the centralized hub computing device;
receive configuration input for the integration from the end-user computing device;
store the configuration in an input application configuration database of the application integration management platform;
receive a message from the end-user computing device indicating the integration is to be enabled;
and
transmit an enablement notification to an application provider of the cloud application, wherein the enablement notification is usable to identify the integration.
