US 2019/0155938 A1 · MULTI-VENDOR SYNCHRONIZATION PLATFORM SUPPORTING MULTIPLE FORMATS

Abstract

In various embodiments, a system of synchronizing data is described. The system may store data associated with a plurality of data vendors. The system may synchronize the stored data with data from a first data vendor. The received data may be parsed by identifying data values indicated by associated metadata, and modifying the data values based on a universal data format. The system may also receive synchronization requests from a user of the service. The synchronization requests may indicate requested data and a list of processing operations. The requested data may correspond to data received from multiple data vendors. The system may perform the list of processing operations and return the data. Accordingly, the system may manage data received from multiple data vendors even if the data vendors have different synchronization conditions and provide the data in different formats. The data may be analyzed and output together to a user.

Dependent claims

A method, comprising:

storing, by a service implemented by a computer system, data associated with a plurality of data vendors in a storage system of the service;
automatically synchronizing, by the service, data stored by the service with particular data from a first data vendor of the plurality of data vendors, wherein the particular data includes corresponding metadata;
parsing, by the service, the particular data, comprising:
identifying a plurality of types of data values indicated by the metadata;
modifying the particular data based on the plurality of types of data values and based on a universal data format of the service;
and
storing the particular data in the storage system;
receiving, by the service, a synchronization request from a user of the service, wherein the synchronization request includes an indication of requested data and a list of processing operations to be performed on the requested data, and wherein the requested data includes data received, by the service, in a first format from the first data vendor and data received, by the service, in a second format from a second data vendor of the plurality of data vendors;
and
subsequent to performing the list of processing operations, providing, by the service, the requested data to the user.
