Abstract:
Embodiments of the present invention address deficiencies of the art with respect to solution order processing and provide a novel and non-obvious method, computer system and computer program product for processing solution orders using solution records. In one embodiment of the invention, a method for solution ordering across disparate order and contract management systems in a manufacturing environment can be provided. The method can include receiving a request for a solution from a customer, identifying a solution that satisfies the request for a solution, determining a solution order for the identified solution, generating a solution record for the solution order and assigning a solution record number to the solution record. The method can further include populating the solution record with product identification numbers received from multiple product lines in the manufacturing environment.

Abstract:
A method for creating and delivering customer solutions includes analyzing a customer's requirements; selecting at least one solution building block as part of a customer solution; and delivering at least one customer solution. The at least one solution building block comprises a preconfigured bundle of at least one asset comprising at least one of a hardware product, software product, service, or another solution building block. The at least one solution building block has been at least one of previously tested or successfully deployed in a customer environment for solving a business, infrastructure, or application problem.
Abstract:
An improved dual media transceiver for terminating an electrical transmission line wherein the transmission line may be a coaxial cable or a shielded twisted pair line. A length of shielded twisted pair line is provided for interconnection. A connector for receiving the transmission line is also provided, adapted to connect the twisted pair wires of the transmission line to a first end of the twisted pair wires of the interconnection line when the transmission line is twisted pair line, and, when the transmission line is coaxial cable, adapted to connect a center conductor of the transmission line to one of the twisted pair wires, at the first end, and the shield of the transmission line to the shield of the interconnection line at the first end. A center tap termination network is connected to the second end of the interconnection line, having a center tap port connected to the shield of the line. The twisted pair wires of the line are connected to the non-center tap ports of the termination network. The network has electrical elements selected and arranged so as to provide a balanced or unbalanced impedance, as the case may be, at substantially the matching value, to the interconnection line whether the transmission line is coaxial or twisted pair wires.
