This document summarizes the software integration strategy used for an Alaska oil regulatory system. The strategy integrated disparate legacy database applications through a service-oriented architecture with autonomous components. A key part was establishing a "system of record" to store standardized data in one location with services providing CRUD functionality. An example application built was a Non Tank Vessel Contingency Plan system that integrated affiliation, document, and vessel data from independent services and objects. The integration improved data access, quality and decision support capabilities for the oil industry regulations.

SEMESTER PROJECT – PHASE II Introduction to the Company S.docxedgar6wallace88877
SEMESTER PROJECT – PHASE II
Introduction to the Company:
Security Transport Professionals Incorporated (STP), has its home office located in Lexington, Kentucky and in addition has more than 3,000 employees located in each of its branch offices located in Houston, Texas and San Diego, California.
STP is primarily a nationwide freight hauler. Its customer are comprised of major market retailers particularly in the medical and pharmaceutical industry, the federal government, and several state governments. STP operates a fleet of trucks and private cargo planes that it uses to move “goods” belonging to its customers from one destination to another across the continental United States. Its fleet of truck carriers are located in Lexington, Kentucky with it planes located in Louisville, Kentucky.
STP carries and transports highly controlled, narcotics and scheduled prescription drugs, toxic, radioactive, nuclear, and top-secret materials from one facility belonging to its customer to another. The method of transport depends on the type of cargo being hauled. In addition to hauling/forwarding its customers products/goods, STP is required from time to time to store its customer goods for brief periods of time. Two years ago, STP began contracting with a number of subcontractor’s hereafter referred to as either “limited joint partners (LJPs)” or “independent subcontractor alliances (ISAs)” for the purpose of expanding its freight forwarding, storage, and delivery service. Due to the confidential nature of the freight that it transports, STP vets its employees, as well as any subcontractors (LJPs and ISAs) that it engages.
STP’s business objectives and goals include the confidential, safe and secure movement of its customer goods, from the customer/distributor to its client, or from one of its customer’s locations to another of the customer’s locations in a timely and efficient manner using cost effective methods. Alternatively, STP may transfer this responsibility to one of its limited joint partners (LJPs) or independent subcontractor alliances (ISAs), if it is more cost-effective and the income differential is within acceptable limits. There are 3 LJPs with which STP had entered into contracts. LJPs are corporate organizations in the same industry that offer essentially the same services as STP, and who are generally competitors of STP. However, when the job requires resources that exceed those of STP or its competitor, the two will enter into an agreement to jointly undertake the contract together and will together provide the same full range of services, with both entering into the same contract or joint venture with the customer.
Independent subcontractor alliances (ISAs) differ from Limited Joint Partners (LJPs) in that a ISA is not a direct competitor of STP. Rather, the ISA is a company that offers a subset of services to STP, or contracts with STP to provide it with necessary resources to perform the particular job at.
Modern CFO in control with integrated software CPM-GRCMario Halfhide
The document discusses the increasing need for organizations to integrate corporate performance management (CPM) and governance, risk, and compliance (GRC) reporting on a single software platform. It notes that studies show CFOs want this integration to have better control over the reporting process. The document then defines CPM and GRC and trends in software merging these functions. It provides a business case example of an insurance company that integrated its various financial and risk reporting systems onto a unified platform, allowing for improved standardized reporting that incorporates risk management. The conclusion is that laws require organizations to have full control over reporting, and a unified CPM and GRC platform allows accurate and consistent reporting to meet these demands.
This document discusses how geographic information systems (GIS) can be implemented and used in real-time crime centers (RTCCs) to improve law enforcement response and public safety. GIS provides a platform to integrate different data sources like crime data, calls for service, video feeds, and asset locations onto a digital map in real time. This allows command staff, analysts, and field officers to access and share critical information. The document outlines different map viewers that can be used by these groups and provides examples of tools for each. It also discusses considerations for data, infrastructure needs, and next steps for a successful GIS implementation in an RTCC.
ITSP #2 Assignment HintsFirst, you will revise ITSP #1’s assignm.docxchristiandean12115
ITSP #2 Assignment Hints
First, you will revise ITSP #1’s assignment with my feedback and it will precede ITSP #2’s assignment, on the same document.
IT Strategies: There will be a minimum of one internal IT strategy and two business-enabling IT strategies. They will not be the same organizational strategic objectives you used for the ITSP #1 assignment, nor are they the completion of any of the systems in the IT Portfolio unless you justify how they align to the corporate strategic business objectives. To make it very clear, discuss the relationship between the strategies you present with the corporate strategic business objectives. Discuss how they will benefit RR and any external customers or processes. (Per the assignment, internal and external strategies are discussed in Chapter 9. For an explanation of internal and external IT strategies, see the portion of the text just prior to Table 9.2). Discuss how they relate to your IT vision and advance how RR uses IT (How does it enhance RR’s operations? How is RR becoming more effective in their operations, how are they becoming more efficient and productive through the use of IT? What are the CIO and staff doing to put IT to better use?)
IT Portfolio: This must include the systems in the Inventory of Current IT Projects from the ITSP #1 assignment and the proposed project you will present in the next section. Utilize the table that is provided and list the projects by functional area.
Proposed Project: This will not be any of the projects presented in the Current Inventory of IT Projects from the ITSP #1 assignment. You can scrap a current system (Fleet Maintenance, Route Optimization/Freight Tracking) and integrate a new solution, but considerable thought should be made prior to making that decision. It can be a new solution not being covered in the Current Inventory of IT Projects. The project must support either the internal IT or business-enabling strategy presented in section #1 of this assignment. (You can propose a specific vendor package though it is not necessary. However, if you are incorporating an integrated solution, you should discuss the various features of the package that are appropriate for the study.
Solution
s such as backups, training of employees, utilizing social media and involving Human Resources are not appropriate solutions for this assignment.) To ensure you are on the right track, explain the relationship between your proposed project andthe internal IT/business-enabling strategy.

This document discusses how public transit agencies can address federal guidelines under MAP-21 to more efficiently invest limited resources. It outlines that MAP-21 created performance-based guidelines to improve safety, infrastructure condition, traffic congestion, system efficiency, environment protection, and project delivery. To comply with MAP-21, agencies must assess their people, processes, and products. This includes acquiring skilled talent, developing safety plans, leveraging technology like asset management systems to conduct condition assessments and prioritize projects, and creating 5-year and 20-year capital plans. Implementing an enterprise asset management system can help agencies meet MAP-21's goals by better managing their assets and supporting required reporting.

Cloud computing threats
One of the biggest challenges information security leaders have is being able to effectively communicate the value of their team’s efforts across the organization .Here the ability to accurately report on their organization’s state of security and communicate the benefits of a proactive security effort in a language the rest of the organization can understand. This session will draw from the experience of seasoned CISOs with proven track records in enabling core business objectives by influencing key stakeholders in the organization. These risk and information security leaders will share their advice on how to effectively create and demonstrate security’s value. The security function is often seen as doing security for its own sake, rather than for the benefit of the business, and so misses the point of security entirely which is about managing risk to acceptable levels.
The security function all too often acts in a condescending manner thinking it knows what is best for the business when in fact it is just one of the various functions in which they have the organizations for business decisions. Business executives are far more interested in what is happening with information security than ever, thanks to a plethora of high-profile, very visible breaches and security incidents.
In recent years the level of attention paid to cybersecurity issues by organizations has skyrocketed. Cyber risk is now a board-level concern, and IT security budgets have risen accordingly. Despite the increased attention, it is not clear whether firms have become more sophisticated in how they manage cyber risks. Historically, most firms have made cybersecurity investment decisions by adhering to industry best practices, without necessarily developing a detailed understanding of their overall cyber risk first. Risk management is predicated on risk quantification, and many researchers have attempted to quantify cyber risks using quantitative metrics such as return on investment.

This document provides an overview of a project to implement a Customer Relationship Management (CRM) system for Planet Technology Group (Planet Tel) to automate business processes. It outlines the objectives, scope, requirements, deliverables, and risks of the project. Key aspects included a Microsoft Dynamics CRM prototype configuration, sample test data, user manuals, and email marketing integration. The goal of the CRM system was to improve inefficient manual processes around sales, marketing, support, and communication to better manage the large volume of corporate customers.
The document discusses different types of contracts used between private contractors and the government: fixed-price contracts, cost-reimbursement contracts, and labor-hour contracts. Fixed-price contracts set a specific budget and seek bids closest to that amount, benefiting the government but carrying risk for contractors if costs are higher than expected. Cost-reimbursement contracts reimburse contractors for actual costs plus a fee, benefiting contractors but with less incentive to control costs. Labor-hour contracts reimburse hourly labor costs and expenses but not profits, providing less risk than fixed-price but also less incentive to control costs than fixed-price.

Observability Concepts EVERY Developer Should Know -- DeveloperWeek Europe.pdfPaige Cruz
Monitoring and observability aren’t traditionally found in software curriculums and many of us cobble this knowledge together from whatever vendor or ecosystem we were first introduced to and whatever is a part of your current company’s observability stack.
While the dev and ops silo continues to crumble….many organizations still relegate monitoring & observability as the purview of ops, infra and SRE teams. This is a mistake - achieving a highly observable system requires collaboration up and down the stack.
I, a former op, would like to extend an invitation to all application developers to join the observability party will share these foundational concepts to build on:

In the rapidly evolving landscape of technologies, XML continues to play a vital role in structuring, storing, and transporting data across diverse systems. The recent advancements in artificial intelligence (AI) present new methodologies for enhancing XML development workflows, introducing efficiency, automation, and intelligent capabilities. This presentation will outline the scope and perspective of utilizing AI in XML development. The potential benefits and the possible pitfalls will be highlighted, providing a balanced view of the subject.
We will explore the capabilities of AI in understanding XML markup languages and autonomously creating structured XML content. Additionally, we will examine the capacity of AI to enrich plain text with appropriate XML markup. Practical examples and methodological guidelines will be provided to elucidate how AI can be effectively prompted to interpret and generate accurate XML markup.
Further emphasis will be placed on the role of AI in developing XSLT, or schemas such as XSD and Schematron. We will address the techniques and strategies adopted to create prompts for generating code, explaining code, or refactoring the code, and the results achieved.
The discussion will extend to how AI can be used to transform XML content. In particular, the focus will be on the use of AI XPath extension functions in XSLT, Schematron, Schematron Quick Fixes, or for XML content refactoring.
The presentation aims to deliver a comprehensive overview of AI usage in XML development, providing attendees with the necessary knowledge to make informed decisions. Whether you’re at the early stages of adopting AI or considering integrating it in advanced XML development, this presentation will cover all levels of expertise.
By highlighting the potential advantages and challenges of integrating AI with XML development tools and languages, the presentation seeks to inspire thoughtful conversation around the future of XML development. We’ll not only delve into the technical aspects of AI-powered XML development but also discuss practical implications and possible future directions.

About TractorFax: Created, perfected, & confimred in supporting the NPS
1. About TractorFax: Created by the events of 911, perfected by end users input, confirmed by NIMS
STEP
TractorFax is: a well-rounded, comprehensive, all-in-one collaborative inventory and resource
management tool - actionable information beginning at the local level and in a continuum to state and
regional levels should the need escalate.
TractorFax is a web based system to catalog emergency resources and volunteers, combined with a set of
workflows to standardize, manage, and track the collaborative requests and responses of Emergency
Support Functions (ESFs), within and across jurisdictional boundaries. In this way, TractorFax can enable
the collaboration, management, certifications, affiliation, and allocation of the resources of government
and non-government organizations (NGO’s) to the requirements of emergency management priorities.
TractorFax allows governments and NGO’s to prepare for and respond to disasters more effectively by
ensuring that ALL required resources are available and ONLY needed resources are requested — thereby
minimizing the influx of inappropriate donations, called by emergency managers “second disaster”.
With TractorFax local, regional, and federal government can best identify, inventory, access, track,
collaborate, and report on the vast resources given to government by private citizens and businesses,
while still ensuring ownership and management of the resources remains with the specific support agency
responsible for the resource. And incorporate “best practices” based on “Lessons Learned”: turning
authorized end users’ information-big data, then making such IM operations’ information actionable.
In brief, TractorFax is a citizen’s registry (people and resource inventory) for Incident Commanders,
Planners, and Authorized End Users purposes in maintaining command and control….TractorFax does
NOT compete with existing CIMS, in lieu compliments existing CIMS by fulfilling their shortfalls and
gaps in pre-planning efforts and Remedial Action Planning/AAR…..
The slide below depicts TractorFax compliments existing CIMS shortfalls and fulfills the gaps….
2. Created, perfected, & confirmed: another key point to be made about our first of its kind technology is
that during Research & Development (R&D), our team worked closely with “ground zero” Incident
Commanders, local officials, and first responders. And then again with Incident Command’s appointed
core team of Subject Matter Experts (SMEs) during the actual NIMS12-step Test & Evaluation (T&E)
process.
Every expert involved with both R&D and T&E processes disclosed “today’s ever evolving world of
disasters preparedness & incident management seriously challenges, and out dates, the limitations of
FEMA’s 120 resource typing definitions requirements.”
In regard, TractorFax is software coded to accommodate not only the FEMA 120 Resource Typing
Definitions, but over and above; TractorFax’s built-in resource dictionary accommodates infinite
(unlimited) resource typing definitions; a hierarchy system, fully searchable by resource ownership
description, key words, all segmented by jurisdictional zip code….Virtual preplanned resource
ownership, down to the zip code….public or private, no matter; a resource, is a resource, is a resource.
Hence, Incident Commander’s “Rosetta Stone” day-to-day Incident Management System” beginning
at the local level. Despite the best and noble efforts being expanded.
Compliances & “Green-Lights” to the IMS marketplace:
1). DHS/FEMA NIMS Department of Homeland Security (DHS) – Federal Emergency Management
Agency (FEMA) National Incident Management Systems (NIMS) FINAL pilot evaluation (see above).
The purpose of NIMS Support Center is to evaluate products against stringent goals and objectives on
behalf of local and state officials, thus aiding local and state level purchasing decision making.
2). Authorized Equipment Lists – 3 InterAgency Board (IAB) approvals for local, state, and regional
Grant request. AEL/SELs encourages local and state officials to implement products already NIMS
evaluated on behalf of local and state officials (see DHS/FEMA/NIMS STEP/P-TAC Authorized Vendor
3. Product List) and effect Federal and State Homeland Security Preparedness Grant (HSPG) funding cycles.
Local, state, and regional level grant requestor are instructed to “reference those authorized product’s
National Catalog Number”. “Congrats”-TractorFax is approved by the IAB for three AEL/SELs”.
[04AP-01-CADS] System, Dispatch, Computer Aided/ Description:
Computer software system(s) used to track and manage public safety incidents and resources.
[04AP-05-CDSS] Systems and Tools, ICS/ Description:
Incident Command System (ICS) software including command/plans and decision-support
tools. Also includes NIMS-compliant field incident management materials such as T-Cards and
holders, specialized forms, etc.
[04AP-07-INVN] Software, Equipment Tracking and Inventory/ Description:
Application software for tracking of tangible equipment, including location and person(s)
/organization(s) responsible.
3). FAR (Federal Acquisition Regulations): The purpose of the FAR is to provide "uniform policies and
procedures for acquisition." Among its guiding principles is to have an acquisition system that satisfies
customer's needs in terms of cost, quality, and timeliness; minimize administrative operating costs;
conduct business with integrity, fairness, and openness; and fulfill other public policy objectives.
Government personnel may not deviate from the law without proper authorization. The FAR was issued
pursuant to the Office of Federal Procurement Policy Act of 1974. Statutory authority to issue and
maintain the FAR resides with the Secretary of Defense, the Administrator of General Services, and the
Administrator of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, subject to the approval of the
Administrator of Federal Procurement Policy.
4). COTS (Commercial-Off-The-Shelf Software) and services. COTS purchases are alternatives to
custom developments or one-off government-funded developments. COTS typically requires
configuration that is tailored for specific uses and the key characteristic that differentiates COTS from
Custom software is that the user configurations are within the defined parameters of the commercial item
and not the result of customizations to the commercial item itself. The use of COTS has been mandated
across many government and business programs, as such products may offer significant savings in
procurement, development, and maintenance. Motivations for using COTS components include hopes
for reduction of overall system-development and costs (as components can be bought or licensed instead
of being developed from scratch) and reduced long-term maintenance costs.
As such, COTS are of particularly important in formulating Public-Private Partnerships (PPPs).
5). Government off-the-shelf (GOTS) is a term for software Government products that are ready to use.
They were created and are owned by the government. Typically GOTS are developed by the technical
staff of the government agency for which it is created (i.e. DHS/FEMA work on behalf of local and state
agencies’ end users). It is sometimes developed by an external entity (i.e. TractorFax (TFT)), but with
funding and specification from the agency (i.e. DHS/FEMA). Because agencies can directly control all
aspects of GOTS products, these are generally preferred for government purposes. GOTS software
solutions can normally be shared among federal agencies without additional cost.
List of GOTS Software:
TractorFax (TFT)
Interactive Scenario Builder
SIMDIS
Naval Simulation System (NSS)
4. To clarify, TractorFax IS NOT another, of many, “ONE OFF” Government-funded developments.
Uniquely TractorFax IS a FULLY DEVELPED (FULL-GROWN), comprehensive, all-in-one Incident
Management Systems Tool. In fact, a first of its kind Government-funded development, all-
encompassing Incident Command software product, deployment ready!
Allowing Incident Command personnel & authorized end users to seamlessly improve pre-planning’s
preparedness initiatives, improving response & recovery times, and simultaneously, in a more
confidential manner, addresses the real world’s ever present threat of Agro-terrorism acts head on….
TractorFax supports Unified Command’s transparent core-mission: “For the betterment of the
Homeland”!
