ABSTRACT:
Presented herein are systems and methods that facilitate the portability and management of user data maintained at two or more services. In embodiments, a configurable profile management interface or interfaces are provided to a user, which enable the user to identify data elements that may be maintained across one or more services. In embodiments, a user has the ability to set precedence values by identifying which elements from which service or services should be considered as sources of truth. In embodiments, those sources of truth may be used to propagate changes to one or more services. In embodiments, the profile synchronization functionality may be incorporated within a human resources (HR) system. In embodiments, the user can also configure a schedule for transferring data, can import some or all of the data, and/or can export all or some of the data.
