SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR RULE-BASED APPROVAL OF REQUEST
A method of automatically approving change requests within an organization. The method can include creating a change request (CR) based on a received request to create the CR, and defining one or more conditions associated with the CR, wherein the conditions are based on at least one of a domain level, security level, or operations level within the organization. In addition, the method may include determining if the CR meets the one or more conditions with respect to the domain level within the organization, and upon determining that the CR meets the one or more conditions with respect to the domain level within the organization, automatically approving the CR at the domain level of the organization.
1 . A method of automatically approving change requests within an organization, the method comprising:
creating a change request (CR) based on a received request to create the CR; and
defining one or more conditions associated with the CR, wherein the conditions are based on at least one of a domain level, security level, or operations level within the organization.
2 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
determining if the CR meets the one or more conditions with respect to the domain level within the organization; and
upon determining that the CR meets the one or more conditions with respect to the domain level within the organization, automatically approving the CR at the domain level of the organization.
3 . The method of claim 2 , further comprising:
determining if the CR meets the one or more conditions with respect to the security level within the organization; and
upon determining that the CR meets the one or more conditions with respect to the security level within the organization, automatically approving the CR at the security level of the organization.
4 . The method of claim 3 , further comprising:
determining if the CR meets the one or more conditions with respect to the operations level within the organization; and
upon determining that the CR meets the one or more conditions with respect to the operations level within the organization, automatically approving the CR at the operations level of the organization.
5 . The method of claim 4 , further comprising:
sending the approved CR at the domain level, security level, and operations level to an approval board.
6 . The method of claim 5 , further comprising:
upon approval of the CR from the approval board, automatically executing the CR within the organization.
7 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
determining if the CR is a remote method of procedure.
8 . The method of claim 7 , further comprising:
upon determining that the CR is not a remote method of procedure, determining if the CR is high priority.
9 . The method of claim 8 , further comprising:
upon determining that the CR is high priority, determining if the CR meets the one or more conditions with respect to the operations level within the organization; and
upon determining that the CR meets the one or more conditions with respect to the operations level within the organization, automatically approving the CR at the operations level of the organization.
10 . The method of claim 9 , further comprising:
sending the approved CR at the operations level to an approval board; and
upon approval of the CR from the approval board, automatically executing the CR within the organization.
11 . An apparatus for automatically approving change requests within an organization, comprising:
a memory storage storing computer-executable instructions; and
a processor communicatively coupled to the memory storage, wherein the processor is configured to execute the computer-executable instructions and cause the apparatus to:
create a change request (CR) based on a received request to create the CR; and
define one or more conditions associated with the CR, wherein the conditions are based on at least one of a domain level, security level, or operations level within the organization.
12 . The apparatus of claim 11 , wherein the computer-executable instructions, when executed by the processor, further cause the apparatus to:
determine if the CR meets the one or more conditions with respect to the domain level within the organization; and
upon determining that the CR meets the one or more conditions with respect to the domain level within the organization, automatically approve the CR at the domain level of the organization.
13 . The apparatus of claim 12 , wherein the computer-executable instructions, when executed by the processor, further cause the apparatus to:
determine if the CR meets the one or more conditions with respect to the security level within the organization; and
upon determining that the CR meets the one or more conditions with respect to the security level within the organization, automatically approve the CR at the security level of the organization.
14 . The apparatus of claim 13 , wherein the computer-executable instructions, when executed by the processor, further cause the apparatus to:
determine if the CR meets the one or more conditions with respect to the operations level within the organization; and
upon determining that the CR meets the one or more conditions with respect to the operations level within the organization, automatically approve the CR at the operations level of the organization.
15 . The apparatus of claim 14 , wherein the computer-executable instructions, when executed by the processor, further cause the apparatus to:
send the approved CR at the domain level, security level, and operations level to an approval board.
16 . The apparatus of claim 15 , wherein the computer-executable instructions, when executed by the processor, further cause the apparatus to:
upon approval of the CR from the approval board, automatically execute the CR within the organization.
17 . The apparatus of claim 11 , wherein the computer-executable instructions, when executed by the processor, further cause the apparatus to:
determine if the CR is a remote method of procedure.
18 . The apparatus of claim 17 , wherein the computer-executable instructions, when executed by the processor, further cause the apparatus to:
upon determining that the CR is not a remote method of procedure, determine if the CR is high priority.
19 . The apparatus of claim 18 , wherein the computer-executable instructions, when executed by the processor, further cause the apparatus to:
upon determining that the CR is high priority, determine if the CR meets the one or more conditions with respect to the operations level within the organization; and
upon determining that the CR meets the one or more conditions with respect to the operations level within the organization, automatically approve the CR at the operations level of the organization.
20 . A non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising computer-executable instructions for automatically approving change requests within an organization by an apparatus, wherein the computer-executable instructions, when executed by at least one processor of the apparatus, cause the apparatus to:
create a change request (CR) based on a received request to create the CR; and
define one or more conditions associated with the CR, wherein the conditions are based on at least one of a domain level, security level, or operations level within the organization.
