Value stream management helps increase the value delivered to customers by optimizing the flow of work through value streams. Value stream management enables traditional organizations to make a data-driven journey in their digital transformation to continuously improve and deliver more value to their customers. To achieve this, Value stream management platforms (VSMPs) deliver 8 capabilities, which together help organizations to achieve their software goals.
This document discusses project management strategies for cloud computing projects. It begins by defining cloud computing and its various models like IaaS, PaaS, and SaaS. It then discusses common causes of failure for cloud projects, such as undefined success criteria, unquantified advantages, lack of accountability, and failure to manage applications and costs. The document recommends addressing these risks through effective scoping, change management, and an agile project methodology. Defining strategies, requirements, and risks upfront can help boost success rates for cloud computing projects.
Taking the first step to agile digital servicesindeuppal
The Government’s Digital by Default agenda has changed the way IT and digital services are created, tested
and deployed. While the quality, usability and security will always be vital, agility is everything. And this is
exactly what the Government’s Digital by Default agenda requires.
Transforming your business by introducing new digital services can seem a daunting process. Not to mention
delivering these services based on an ‘agile’ methodology.
But do you know what agile is? And why do you
need to adopt this approach? Importantly, how do you put together an agile project team and where do you find the right suppliers? The questions no doubt seem endless. But the main problem can often be the misconceptions about agile itself. Only when you get to grips with this, can you start to think about putting a plan in place. But before we can do that, we need to be clear about what agile actually is …

The Development Battle Nobody Talks About (Achieving DevOps at Enterprise Scale)Plutora
This document discusses the challenges of aligning business and technology goals through DevOps. It argues that while DevOps improves efficiency within technology teams, it does not directly address business-technology alignment. Value stream management is presented as a model that can provide the missing link by focusing on delivering value to customers through the entire process from idea to production. Key points covered include the historical conflicts between development and operations, how DevOps addressed these but did not solve all issues, and how value stream management takes a system-wide approach centered around customer value.

Applying The Science Of Measurement To The Art Of Advertising 1 March 2010...Ron Jacobs
The document discusses measuring marketing effectiveness and accountability. It provides three key points:
1. Chief marketing officers prioritize accountability and establishing key performance indicators to measure marketing outcomes.
2. Attribution models are needed to measure the impact of multichannel marketing efforts but are currently flawed due to technology and process challenges.
3. Social media marketing requires new metrics that many marketers and agencies are not yet tracking, analyzing, or using to optimize programs.
Crossing over to a SaaS option from an on-premise solution requires careful consideration. Key areas to examine include licensing changes from perpetual to user-based, loss of control over updates and product versions, proper alignment of internal use cases to subscription offerings, flexibility in the contract to adjust subscriptions over time, and reasonable notification of planned changes. While SaaS promises new features and potential benefits, there is no guarantee of major cost savings compared to the on-premise alternative.

The document discusses the factors to consider when determining whether to implement synchronous or asynchronous web services in a service-oriented architecture (SOA). Synchronous services require strict request-response coordination, while asynchronous services allow for more flexible and dynamic message routing. The key considerations involve how tightly or loosely coupled the applications are, acceptable performance levels, and operational requirements. While synchronous services are simpler, asynchronous services provide more stability and routing options in a loosely coupled SOA environment. The best approach depends on an analysis of the individual enterprise's environment and needs.
The information overload on SOA is largely on describing the merits of SOA, principles of SOA and the vast variety of products intended to address SOA needs. There is, however, an acute scarcity of information on SOA implementation to bridge the gap between wanting to get started and actually
deploying a game plan where the rubber hits the road. This document is written to identify the factors to be considered, articulate the principles and questions to be asked that will drive the decisions within each enterprise towards creating a road map for implementation.
This white paper presents a solution to test performance and analyze the results for web services that are deployed on the webMethods Integration Server using Apache JMeter.

It provides brief introductions to each concept and argues that together they form pillars that allow for real-time business insight, rapid decision making, cost efficiency, and the ability to quickly change offerings. When combined, the technologies allow composite applications to be created by leveraging and combining loosely coupled assets from within and outside the enterprise.

Introduction
Business Analytics means the practice of iterative and methodological examination of a business’s data with a special emphasis on statistic making. Business Analytics can further help businesses automate and optimize their business processes. Companies in which data plays a pivotal role, treats its data as a corporate assets and leverages it for gaining competitive advantage. A successful business analytics would typically depend on data quality, highly skillful and experienced professionals who understand the technologies, knows how to work with it and also understands the organizations processes in depth. Apart from this, the organization should have a capable infrastructure to support the operations of business analytics.
Usage of Business Analysis is done for the following purposes:
· Exploration of data so as to find patterns and trends
· Identifying relationships in key data variables for forecasting. For instance next probable purchase by the customer
· Drilling down to the results to find out why a particular incident took place. This approach is done by performing statistical analysis and quantitative analysis with business analytical tools
· Predicting future results by employing predictive modeling and predictive analytics
· Testing previous decisions using A/B and Multivariate testing
· Assisting business in decision making such as figuring out the amount of discount to be given for a new customer
Post identifying of business goal, an analysis methodology needs to be selected and the data is acquired to support the analysis. This data acquisition normally involves extracting data from systems that may be spread throughout different locations an ...
There are several ways to calculate the return on investment (ROI) of cloud computing initiatives. Key performance indicators compare metrics like cost, time, quality and profitability between cloud and traditional IT. ROI models also compare savings from cost, time and quality improvements. Specific ways cloud provides ROI include optimizing resources, increasing flexibility, enabling faster decision making, reducing costs through scale and specialization, and improving quality of service. Measuring factors like customer churn rate also helps evaluate cloud initiatives.

What are the advantages of adopting public cloudNicole Khoo
Public cloud computing provides organizations flexibility, cost reduction, and regular automatic upgrades. Some key benefits of adopting public cloud include flexibility for employees to access data remotely, reduced IT costs as organizations pay only for the resources they use, and automatic software/hardware upgrades managed by cloud providers. However, security is a primary concern for organizations considering public cloud. Service level agreements and ensuring robust security controls, privacy policies, and technical measures can help address these concerns. Migrating workloads to public cloud requires validating applications' technical portability and compliance.

Application rationalization is the process of analyzing an organization's application portfolio to identify redundant, unused, or overlapping applications. This helps reduce costs, simplify the application landscape, and lay the groundwork for implementing a service-oriented architecture (SOA). The rationalization process involves identifying each application's business value, maintenance costs, supported processes, and other attributes. It aims to weed out redundant applications, consolidate overlapping functionality, and expose commonly used logic through reusable services. Implementing rationalization and SOA using an agile methodology allows for quicker returns and ensures the new architecture remains lean as needs evolve.
This document is written as a guide to an alternative mechanism for project implementation for business owners holding responsibility to deliver IT solutions in the SOA space.
Everything Everywhere, a mobile network operator in the UK, sought to rationalize applications using SOA to reduce high IT costs. Torry Harris was approached to design and implement the SOA architecture in a phased, 24-month approach. Torry Harris analyzed the legacy applications, designed a loosely coupled architecture using SOA principles, and implemented the architecture through coding, testing, and ensuring user acceptance of deliverables. The project followed a waterfall methodology through stages of planning, requirements, design, development, testing, and acceptance.
Torry Harris was approached to help the Children, Youth and Family Department (CYFD) in New Mexico address challenges with their legacy IT systems. Torry Harris provided training to CYFD stakeholders on service-oriented architecture (SOA) principles and implemented a proof-of-concept to demonstrate the benefits. They also analyzed CYFD's existing applications landscape and developed a SOA roadmap. This involved defining a new architecture aligned with SOA principles and another proof-of-concept. The engagement helped educate CYFD stakeholders on SOA and gain their buy-in for transitioning applications to a more service-oriented manner.
An offshore ‘SOA Service Factory’ is the ‘delivery-arm’ that is primarily responsible for developing reusable services in a cost-effective manner, using SOA products.
This document provides guidance on best practices for testing Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) solutions. It discusses that more testing effort is needed at the service level rather than the system level. Security testing needs to span the entire project lifecycle. The SOA test team requires an understanding of both the technical architecture and business domains. The testing approach also demands the appropriate use of tools. The document outlines a comprehensive SOA test methodology covering various phases from unit to system level testing and types of testing including functional, performance, security and more. It provides recommendations on tools and discusses how to implement an effective regression strategy.
In this paper, we review the principles of Service Oriented Architecture and specifically how these principles relieve the above challenges and align people, processes and data through the use of open standards and a loosely coupled architecture.
SOA in Telecom describes the benefits of SOA in a Business Domain. The initial section of this document covers the challenges faced by the Telecom Industry and how SOA benefits the industry.
This document describes SOA Governance and the typical stages through which such Governance could be implemented. It briefly discusses the types of Governance and typical Governing bodies that could be formed to deliver a successful SOA project.
This document proposes a Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) Maturity Model to help organizations assess the current state of alignment between their business and IT implementations of SOA and identify areas for improvement. The model defines 5 levels of maturity - Primitive, Standardized Services, Manageable Services, Measurable Services, and Agile Enterprise. It also identifies 6 dimensions used to evaluate maturity: Organizational Factors, Tools & Processes, Architecture, Services, Governance, and Support & Operations. The document then provides a matrix that describes the criteria for evaluating each level based on the 6 dimensions. The model is intended to help organizations benchmark their SOA implementation and guide process improvement efforts.
This article gives an overview of these components and the options available to an organisation for implementing SOA through OSS and Offshore outsourcing. The target audience are organisations whose core business is not IT.
The paper aims to provide a means of understanding the model and exploring options available for complementing your technology and infrastructure needs.

Removing Uninteresting Bytes in Software FuzzingAftab Hussain
Imagine a world where software fuzzing, the process of mutating bytes in test seeds to uncover hidden and erroneous program behaviors, becomes faster and more effective. A lot depends on the initial seeds, which can significantly dictate the trajectory of a fuzzing campaign, particularly in terms of how long it takes to uncover interesting behaviour in your code. We introduce DIAR, a technique designed to speedup fuzzing campaigns by pinpointing and eliminating those uninteresting bytes in the seeds. Picture this: instead of wasting valuable resources on meaningless mutations in large, bloated seeds, DIAR removes the unnecessary bytes, streamlining the entire process.
In this work, we equipped AFL, a popular fuzzer, with DIAR and examined two critical Linux libraries -- Libxml's xmllint, a tool for parsing xml documents, and Binutil's readelf, an essential debugging and security analysis command-line tool used to display detailed information about ELF (Executable and Linkable Format). Our preliminary results show that AFL+DIAR does not only discover new paths more quickly but also achieves higher coverage overall. This work thus showcases how starting with lean and optimized seeds can lead to faster, more comprehensive fuzzing campaigns -- and DIAR helps you find such seeds.
- These are slides of the talk given at IEEE International Conference on Software Testing Verification and Validation Workshop, ICSTW 2022.

3. Cloud Catalyst Programme
The programme enables enterprises to speed up the adoption of cloud computing solutions in 3 easy
steps. The service begins with assessing the current state of the business, infrastructure,
applications and other parameters that define the enterprise. The results obtained from the
assessment are mapped to improvement indicators that are aligned to business goals. A Decision
engine uses the results and provides a phased roadmap for the enterprise. The roadmap identifies
opportunities for use of cloud computing solutions to achieve business goals and considers current
maturity of infrastructure, process and resources.
Aim of the Programme
The Cloud Catalyst programme intends to accelerate the usage and adoption of Cloud
computing solutions by providing a clear approach to the enterprises. The solution allows
enterprises to understand the fitment of cloud solutions, be it IaaS, PaaS, SaaS etc. in their
organizations. Information is gathered about the current and target maturity of the enterprise’s
infrastructure, processes and applications along with budget and growth drivers. The inputs are
assessed and a solution roadmap is created. This roadmap includes a task list of activities to
be executed to achieve the desired state.
The programme caters to enterprises and adopters of all sizes. The prime business case for this
programme being the ability to allow end customers to map their current state to the desired state
with the adoption of cloud computing. The desired state is then achieved through a well-defined
process, with deliverables and return of investments clearly marked out.
Why enterprises need Cloud Catalyst
Cloud computing is destined to bring a paradigm shift in how organizations manage and operate
their IT assets. This shift does not happen overnight, and requires a comprehensive understanding of
the current state of business with respect to various factors. These factors include TCO of
infrastructure, application provisioning, availability of computing resources on demand and time to
market, etc. Moreover with the sprouting of new services in cloud at a break-neck speed, it is
essential to keep up with the market and look out for better options at all times. At Torry Harris, we
found that customers often hit a roadblock in their cloud strategy due to lack of understanding of
the full potential of this technology, and unreasonable expectations of its impact. In fact there are
various factors that impact cloud adoption, such as - Infrastructure availability, provisioning latency,
security and data privacy, data integration among all. This requires a way to assess the current
state and be able to come up with business objectives that would drive growth in short and long
term.
4. The Cloud Catalyst programme has been designed to accommodate not only the varied nature of
businesses but also the varied nature of IT functioning within them. It cumulates research into
various cloud adoption models and pricing, thereby providing customers an absolute advantage in
picking the right cloud strategy. A strategy that enables business growth on the foundations of cloud
computing.
Another aspect addressed by the Cloud Catalyst programme is the varied interpretations and hype
surrounding cloud solutions. These often lead to unreasonable expectations from cloud computing as
a technology enabler. The risk due to the hype is compounded by the fact the most enterprises
seeking to adopt Cloud Computing are confused about which cloud architecture and solutions
would actually suit their needs.
Features and USP
The Cloud Catalyst programme provides structured decision making capabilities with the use of a
standardized decision matrix. This decision matrix is based on extensive research into cloud
computing capabilities, cloud adoption scenarios and use cases. The matrix produces indicators for
improvements in the state of an enterprise. It identifies areas where a cloud computing solution can
bring in effective value and match the overall business goals and expectations of the enterprise.
This structured exercise makes it unique amongst offerings currently in the market.
Cloud Catalyst takes a vendor-agnostic position, and focuses completely on challenges the
organization faces and identifies an adoption roadmap that also mitigates the risks to time to market
and achieves the desired ROI.
The enterprise is provided with a roadmap document that is customized to meet the
specific needs and expectations of the enterprise. Furthermore, the enterprise is also provided
with a complimentary web tool that can be used to assess and measure the current state and
desired expectations.
The Cloud Catalyst programme is unique in the following ways:-
1. FREEDOM
The programme offers a completely self-service based interaction, allowing customers the freedom
to shape their roadmap in a truly innovative way.
2. REALTIME
An autonomous decision engine analyses response from the customers in real-time.
3. IMPROVEMENT INDICATORS
A clearly defined, phased roadmap with indicators for improvements in identified facets of the
enterprise is provided to the customer
4. ABILITY TO CHOOSE
The customer is informed about all the potential choices that they can make, with pros and cons
for each of the available choices
5. 5. FREE TRIAL
A no-strings-attached trial of our Catalyst web tool is available for everyone to use!
How it works
The Cloud Catalyst programme is made available through a web tool that navigates the user
through a set of questions pertaining to various attributes that define cCoud adoption. The
questions are selected based on the organization profile the user selects. The organization profile
describes type of organization and lists the various attributes like no. of employees, availability of
infrastructure, business domain etc. The responses to the questions put to the customer are then
fed into a decision engine that is trained to identify indicators and opportunities for cloud adoption.
Once complete, the system generates a roadmap that lists the current state of the organization,
and the activities with milestones for adopting cloud solutions.
Why it matters to us
The Cloud Catalyst programme is used as a first step for all customer engagements in Cloud
Computing at Torry Harris. This provides us with the necessary information required to structure the
implementation for the customer. The programme also brings out the insight in the decision making
of the customer, and matches the outcome of the engagement with the expectation.
The programme has been a success for all our customers, and it provided them the visibility
with their requirements. It also paved a way to simplify and rationalize all initiatives across the
organization aimed at improving the effectiveness and agility of IT through Cloud computing.
Compared to traditional ways of requirement capture and analysis, this programme insists on a well-
defined process that is available to us and the customer at all times. An automated and curated
decision engine provides instant feedback to the customer. The roadmap is highly customized to the
state of the customer and is a product of our research and experience of than decade helping
customers derive best of their investments .
Conclusion
We at Torry Harris believe that, for all successful cloud adoptions, it is necessary to allow customers to
be aware of the process that derives the recommendation, and to provide them with the freedom to
participate in this process in a highly personal and intuitive way. Cloud Catalyst is designed to be just
that. Furthermore, being vendor agnostic, it allows us to provide a non-biased approach that has
strong ties to the budget constraints and expectations from the enterprise at all levels. The Cloud
Catalyst programme hence becomes a flag bearer for customers looking to solve their cloud adoption
woes and ensure maximum benefits out of their investments
