Abstract

The invention is an eighth layer cloud administrative framework that provides for both monitoring users and providing needed software. The cloud framework guides software tool implementation so that users can accomplish business tasks efficiently.

Claims

1. :

A computer implemented method for facilitating cloud administration via a computer network, the method comprising causing at least one processor to execute a plurality of instructions for;

a) providing a graphical interface for a plurality of users utilizing a cloud computer network,

b) providing office software for use by said users via said graphical interface, wherein said office software is accessed via said cloud computer network,

c) providing specialized software for use by said users via said graphical interface,

d) monitoring time of use of said office software and said specialized software, wherein said time of use is reported to said user and administrative staff,

e) monitoring document flow generated by said users by use of a database, wherein said document flow is monitored by volume and timeliness to a disposition,

f) wherein said document flow is reported to said user and administrative staff,

whereby said administrative staff utilize said time of use and said document flow to

1) monitor said cloud computer network and

2) configure said office software and said specialized software for optimization.

2. :

The computer implemented method according to claim 1 wherein any documents generated by said users are backed up via said cloud computer network.
