AGGREGATION AND WORKFLOW ENGINES FOR MANAGING PROJECT INFORMATION

摘要

A system includes an aggregation engine that initiates a first interface module in response to a first request from a first user that indicates a first type of project information. The aggregation engine also receives, via the first interface module, the first type of project information and stores the first type of project information in a memory. The system additionally includes a workflow engine that initiates one or more workflows that indicate certain project information requested by an external group. The workflow engine retrieves, from the memory and based upon the initiated one or more workflows, a first subset of the first type of project information and formats the first subset of project information according to the workflow. The system also includes an export engine that transmits the formatted first subset of project information to the external group according to the initiated one or more workflows.

1. A system, comprising a first interface module, a memory, and a second interface module and further comprising:
an aggregation engine, operable to:
initiate the first interface module in response to a first request from a first user, the first request indicating a first type of project information, wherein the first type of project information comprises project requirements information;receive, via the first interface module, the first type of project information;store the first type of project information in the memory;initiate the second interface module in response to a second request from a second user, the second request indicating a second type of project information, wherein the second type of project information comprises project assumptions information;receive, via the second interface module, the second type of project information; andstore the second type of project information in the memory; a workflow engine, operable to:
initiate one or more of a plurality of workflows, wherein the initiated one or more workflows indicate certain project information for approval by an external group;retrieve, from the memory and based upon the initiated one or more workflows, a first subset of the first type of project information and a second subset of the second type of project information;format the first subset and second subset of project information according to the initiated one or more workflows; and an export engine, operable to transmit the formatted first and second subset of project information and a request for approval to the external group according to the initiated one or more workflows.
