System and method of consolidated central user administrative provisioning

A centralized provisioning system that reduces a quantity of business application programming interface calls in a hardware client-server environment, wherein the client and server both contain a processor and a memory, comprising:

• a hardware server that implements the centralized provisioning system;
• a configuration module, implemented by the hardware server, that configures the centralized provisioning system with a plurality of access definitions for a plurality of systems, wherein the plurality of systems includes a parent system and a plurality of child systems, wherein the plurality of systems implement a technical level and a business level abstracted above the technical level, wherein the plurality of systems exchange business data via a plurality of business application programming interfaces that are a set of interfaces to object-oriented programming methods that allow object-oriented access to the plurality of systems through the object-oriented programming methods according to a plurality of business object types, wherein the plurality of business application programming interfaces operate at the business level as opposed to the technical level, and wherein the plurality of business application programming interfaces are implemented and stored in the plurality of systems as a plurality of remote function call modules;
• and
• a processing module, implemented by the hardware server, that receives a provisioning request for a user of a client system to access at least two of the plurality of child systems, that determines a collected business application programming interface call from the client system, according to the plurality of access definitions, and that determines whether the system in the provisioning request participates in central user administration,
• if the system participates in central user administration, the collected business application programming interface call collects at least two business application programming interface calls to the at least two of the plurality of child systems into a single business application programming interface call to the parent system, and the hardware server provides access to the user to the at least two of the plurality of child systems according to the collected business application programming interface call to the parent system, and
• if the system does not participate in central user administration, the hardware server performs non-central user administration provisioning for the system by making a business application programming interface real time agent call that provides access to the user.

A non-transitory computer program product, comprising a computer readable medium having a computer readable program code embodied therein, that when executed by a hardware server, reduce a quantity of business application programming interface calls in a hardware client-server environment, wherein the client and server both contain a processor and a memory, comprising:

• a configuration module that configures the hardware server to implement a centralized provisioning system with a plurality of access definitions for a plurality of systems, wherein the plurality of systems includes a parent system and a plurality of child systems, wherein the plurality of systems implement a technical level and a business level abstracted above the technical level, wherein the plurality of systems exchange business data via a plurality of business application programming interfaces that are a set of interfaces to object-oriented programming methods that allow object-oriented access to the plurality of systems through the object-oriented programming methods according to a plurality of business object types, wherein the plurality of business application programming interfaces operate at the business level as opposed to the technical level, and wherein the plurality of business application programming interfaces are implemented and stored in the plurality of systems as a plurality of remote function call modules;
• and
• a processing module that receives a provisioning request for a user of a hardware client system to access at least two of the plurality of child systems, that determines a collected business application programming interface call from the client system, according to the plurality of access definitions, and that determines whether the system in the provisioning request participates in central user administration,
• if the system participates in central user administration, the collected business application programming interface call collects at least two business application programming interface calls to the at least two of the plurality of child systems into a single business application programming interface call to the parent system, and the hardware server provides access to the user to the at least two of the plurality of child systems according to the collected business application programming interface call to the parent system, and
• if the system does not participate in central user administration, the hardware server performs non-central user administration provisioning for the system by making a business application programming interface real time agent call that provides access to the user.
