Abstract

An engine, system and method for providing cloud-based business intelligence data, responsively to received company information, including a local front end comprising a graphical user interface capable of locally querying a user for an electronic location of the received company information, and ones of the business intelligence data to be displayed on the graphical user interface upon upload of the received company information from the electronic location, and further including an at least partially remote back end, comprising an accessing engine capable of accessing the electronic location for uploading to the cloud of only ones of the received company information indicative of the ones of the business data intelligence to be displayed, and a charging engine for charging an account of a user of the front end $1 per the ones of the business intelligence data to be displayed.

Claims

1. A computer-implemented system for providing cloud-based business intelligence data, responsively to received company information, comprising:

a non-transitory computer readable storage medium having encoded thereon computer executable instructions for providing a local front end comprising a graphical user interface capable of locally querying a user for;

an electronic location of the received company information; and

ones of the business intelligence data to be displayed on the graphical user interface upon upload of the received company information from the electronic location;

an at least partially remote back end, comprising;

an accessing engine capable of accessing the electronic location for uploading to the cloud of only ones of the received company information indicative of the ones of the business data intelligence to be displayed; and

a charging engine for charging an account of a user of the front end a per month monetary amount per the ones of the business intelligence data to be displayed.

2. The system of claim 1, wherein the account of the user comprises a credit card account.

3. The system of claim 1, wherein the account of the user comprises a third party payment account.

4. The system of claim 1, wherein the monetary amount is one dollar.

5. The system of claim 1, wherein the monetary amount is based on the amount of company information.

6. The system of claim 1, wherein the display of business intelligence data is through a dashboard.

7. The system of claim 1, further comprising at least one rules engine communicatively connected to the at least partially remote back end, and comprising a plurality of rules to generate, responsively to the business intelligence data, an alert.

8. The system of claim 1, wherein the graphical user interface is remote from the user.

9. The system of claim 1, wherein the input company information is at least one selected from the group consisting of a third party payment score, a credit score, a tax return, liabilities, debt incurred and cash accrued.

10. The system of claim 1, wherein the graphical user interface is accessible from at least two remote locations.

11. The system of claim 1, wherein the graphical user interface is accessible by at least two users.

12. The system of claim 1, wherein the user is not associated with the company.

13. The system of claim 1, wherein the company information is received through a valuation requester not associated with the company.

14. The system of claim 7, wherein the alert is sent to at least one user.

15. The system of claim 1, wherein uploading by the accessing engine is in real time.

16. A method for providing cloud-based business intelligence data, responsively to received company information, comprising:

providing a local front end comprising a graphical user interface resident on a non-transitory computer readable storage medium having encoded thereon computer executable instructions capable of locally querying a user for;

receiving an electronic location of the company information;

displaying ones of the business intelligence data on the graphical user interface upon upload of the received company information from the electronic location;

providing an at least partially remote back end, comprising;

uploading to the cloud only ones of the received company information indicative of the ones of the business data intelligence to be displayed;

charging an account of a user of the front end a per month monetary amount per the ones of the business intelligence data to be displayed; and

alerting a user to a change in the business intelligence data responsively to at least one of a plurality of rules from a rules engine communicatively connected to the at least partially remote back end.

17. The method of claim 16, wherein the account of the user comprises a credit card account.

18. The method of claim 16, wherein the account of the user comprises a third party payment account.

19. The method of claim 16, wherein the monetary amount is one dollar.

20. The method of claim 16, wherein the monetary amount is based on the amount of company information.

21. The method of claim 16, wherein the display of business intelligence data is through a dashboard.

22. The method of claim 16, wherein the graphical user interface is remote from the user.

23. The method of claim 16, wherein the input company information is at least one selected from the group consisting of a third party payment score, a credit score, a tax return, liabilities, debt incurred and cash accrued.

24. The method of claim 16, wherein the graphical user interface is accessible from at least two remote locations.

25. The method of claim 16, wherein the graphical user interface is accessible by at least two users.

26. The method of claim 16, wherein the user is not associated with the company.

27. The method of claim 16, wherein the company information is received through a valuation requester not associated with the company.

28. The method of claim 16, wherein uploading is in real time.
