Abstract
A method and system for automatically defining and provisioning organizational data in a unified messaging (UM) platform are disclosed. An adapter in a unified messaging platform connects to at least one client human resources database. Human resources information that is organized in an organizational hierarchy is retrieved from the human resources database, and hierarchical organizational data is automatically generated in the UM platform based on the organizational hierarchy of the human resources information retrieved from the human resources database. UM mailboxes are provisioned to messaging centers in the UM platform based on the hierarchical organizational data.
Claims15
A method comprising:
- receiving a human resources information set comprising a first human resources database entry corresponding to a user and a second human resources database entry corresponding to an organizational designation;
- receiving, from a service provider database, a geographic location of the user, a call forwarding definition associated with the user and a capacity associated with each one of a plurality of messaging centers;
- automatically generating an intermediate logic node corresponding to the organizational designation;
- automatically generating a community of interest node corresponding to the user,
- the automatically generating a community of interest node comprising:
- determining a particular messaging center among the plurality of messaging centers for a unified messaging mailbox for the user, the
- determining based on a capacity associated with the particular messaging center and the geographic location of the user;
- and
- provisioning the unified messaging mailbox for the first human resources database entry corresponding to the user,
- wherein the unified messaging mailbox is associated with the particular messaging center, and the particular messaging center is associated with the intermediate logic node.
A system comprising:
- a processor;
- and
- a memory to store computer program instructions, the computer program instructions;
- when executed on the processor cause the processor to perform operations comprising:
- receiving a human resources information set comprising a first human resources database entry corresponding to a user and a second human resources database entry corresponding to an organizational designation;
- receiving, from a service provider database, a geographic location of the user, a call forwarding definition associated with the user and a capacity associated with each one of a plurality of messaging centers;
- automatically generating an intermediate logic node corresponding to the organizational designation;
- automatically generating a community of interest node corresponding to the user, the automatically generating a community of interest node comprising:
- determining a particular messaging center among the plurality of messaging centers for a unified messaging mailbox for the user, the determining based on a capacity associated with the particular messaging center and the geographic location of the user;
- and
- provisioning the unified messaging mailbox for the first human resources database entry corresponding to the user,
- wherein the unified messaging mailbox is associated with the particular messaging center, and the particular messaging center is associated with the intermediate logic node.
A non-transitory computer readable medium storing computer program instructions, which, when executed on a processor, cause the processor to perform operations comprising:
- receiving a human resources information set comprising a first human resources database entry corresponding to a user and a second human resources database entry corresponding to an organizational designation;
- receiving, from a service provider database, a geographic location of the user, a call forwarding definition associated with the user and a capacity associated with each one of a plurality of messaging centers;
- automatically generating an intermediate logic node corresponding to the organizational designation;
- automatically generating a community of interest node corresponding to the user, the automatically generating a community of interest node comprising:
- determining a particular messaging center among the plurality of messaging centers for a unified messaging mailbox for the user, the determining based on a capacity associated with the particular messaging center and the geographic location of the user;
- and
- provisioning the unified messaging mailbox for the first human resources database entry corresponding to the user,
- wherein the unified messaging mailbox is associated with the particular messaging center, and the particular messaging center is associated with the intermediate logic node.
