Digital Transformation And Solution ArchitectureAlan McSweeney
Digital strategy is a statement about the organisation’s digital positioning, competitors and customer and collaborator needs and behaviour to achieve a direction for innovation, communication, transaction and promotion. Digital strategy needs to be defined in the same framework structure as the proposed digital architecture platform.
Achieving the target digital organisation means deploying solutions that enable the digital architecture. Solution architecture needs to design solutions that fit into the target digital architecture framework. This requires:
• Solution architecture team operating in an integrated manner designing solutions to a set of common standards and that run on the platform
• Solution architecture team leadership ensuring solutions conform to the common standards
• Solution architecture technical leadership to develop and maintain common solution design standards
• Solution architecture updates the digital reference architecture based on solution design experience
Digital solution design requires greater discipline to create an integrated set solutions that operate within the rigour of the digital architecture framework. The solution architecture function must interact with other IT architecture disciplines to ensure the set of solutions that implement the digital framework operate together. This requires greater solution architecture team leadership. This needs to be supplemented and supported by a well-defined set of digital solution design standards.

Adopting a Process-Driven Approach to Master Data ManagementSoftware AG
What is a lasting solution to the sea of errors, headaches, and losses caused by inconsistent and inaccurate master data such as customer and product records? This is the data that your business counts on to operate business processes and make decisions. But this data is often incomplete or in conflict because it resides in multiple IT systems. Master Data Management (MDM)'s programs are the solution to this problem, but these programs can fail without the investment and involvement of business managers.
Listen to Rob Karel, Forrester analyst, and Jignesh Shah from Software AG to learn about a new, process-driven approach to MDM and why it is a win-win for both business and IT managers.
Visit us at http://www.softwareag.com Become part of our growing community: Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/softwareag Twitter: http://www.twitter.com/softwareag LinkedIn: http://www.linkedin.com/company/software-ag YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/softwareag
Good data is like good water: best served fresh, and ideally well-filtered. Data Management strategies can produce tremendous procedural improvements and increased profit margins across the board, but only if the data being managed is of high quality. Determining how Data Quality should be engineered provides a useful framework for utilizing Data Quality management effectively in support of business strategy. This, in turn, allows for speedy identification of business problems, delineation between structural and practice-oriented defects in Data Management, and proactive prevention of future issues. Organizations must realize what it means to utilize Data Quality engineering in support of business strategy. This webinar will illustrate how organizations with chronic business challenges can often trace the root of the problem to poor Data Quality. Showing how Data Quality should be engineered provides a useful framework in which to develop an effective approach. This in turn allows organizations to more quickly identify business problems as well as data problems caused by structural issues versus practice-oriented defects and prevent these from reoccurring.
Learning objectives:
-Help you understand foundational Data Quality concepts for improving Data Quality at your organization
-Demonstrate how chronic business challenges for organizations are often rooted in poor Data Quality
-Share case studies illustrating the hallmarks and benefits of Data Quality success

Where to Begin? Application Portfolio Migration - Miha Kralj, Principal Consultant, AWS
Application portfolio assessment is a technique used at the beginning of enterprise application migration process. It helps migration team to gather, analyse and understand their app portfolio before deciding on priorities and sequences of application migration. This session will present the app assessment process, the most common migration strategies and tools, and the placement of application portfolio migration in a complete IT Transformation process.
The information in this paper is based on my experience ‘fixing’ the storage consumption process for a large customer ( 3 PB SAN environment) in a managed services (outsourced) environment. The names have been changed to protect the innocent but the processes, tools, and issues are very real.
Regardless of whether you are the customer (end-consumer) of storage or the manager/provider of storage, the accuracy of storage consumption reports is essential to maintaining IT’s reputation and customer trust.
In this paper we discuss the challenges of creating a sustainable, reliable, and robust charge back processes and tools for SAN storage consumption reporting.
This presentation was delivered as part of the corporate training that i conduct.
The sessions were for the project managers & Sr project managers, who are aspiring to be the program managers.

DOES14 - Pat Reed - Project Labor Cost Accounting for Agile ProjectsGene Kim
Pat Reed, Principal Consultant, iHoriz, Inc.
Accurate Accounting of Project Labor Cost (Capitalization vs. Expensing) on Agile projects and product development continues to be a source of confusion, waste and risk; and remains a blocker to Enterprise Agile Adoption. A myriad of associated risks (impacting Software Development and Dev Ops) include:
Loss of material benefits of utilizing the an Agile methodology (increasing the cost and risk of software development)
Blocking large scale and enterprise adoption of Agile and residual benefits
Creating inconsistencies in interpretation of project cost accounting and defeating FASB’s original intent of generating an accounting standard to protect investor confidence
Increasing the risk of over-expensing software development costs that should be capitalized
Increasing the risk of false audit findings and possible mis-reporting of financial statements
Limiting organizations and industry from fully adopting and leveraging the benefits of an Agile Software Development Methodology
Possible taxation increases, higher volatility in Profit and Loss (P&L) statements and unnecessary manual tracking of programmer and Dev Op hours
Inappropriately expensing Dev Ops and possibly causing unnecessary and inappropriate timetracking
Missed opportunities for innovation and automation
This workshop offers a practical solution that provides clear guidance to ensure that organizations understand Agile project cost accounting and consistently and appropriately account for corporate investment in software and automation.
We’ll start with a quick review of the problem and define acceptance tests and success metrics consistent with accepted government accounting standards and collectively (or in small working groups) share ideas and design a framework; applying critical thinking tools – (Mental models and Ladders of Inference to increase our understanding of how we think; and challenge mental models to effectively solve problems.
Learning Outcomes from the workshop have potential to be extensible to address related challenges of internal and external audits and remediation of findings; Sarbanes Oxley and General Computer Controls compliance; Regulatory Industry Compliance, etc.

Cosmetic shop management system project report.pdfKamal Acharya
Buying new cosmetic products is difficult. It can even be scary for those who have sensitive skin and are prone to skin trouble. The information needed to alleviate this problem is on the back of each product, but it's thought to interpret those ingredient lists unless you have a background in chemistry.
Instead of buying and hoping for the best, we can use data science to help us predict which products may be good fits for us. It includes various function programs to do the above mentioned tasks.
Data file handling has been effectively used in the program.
The automated cosmetic shop management system should deal with the automation of general workflow and administration process of the shop. The main processes of the system focus on customer's request where the system is able to search the most appropriate products and deliver it to the customers. It should help the employees to quickly identify the list of cosmetic product that have reached the minimum quantity and also keep a track of expired date for each cosmetic product. It should help the employees to find the rack number in which the product is placed.It is also Faster and more efficient way.

5. INTRODUCTION
• This overview outlines the approach we are planning to undertake for sun setting the
applications scheduled for decommissioning under a project.
• The systems decommissioning phase of the Systems Development Life Cycle (SDLC) is
initiated through the deployment of the SAP application “Tax & Revenue Management
(TRM) system (includes the PSCD component)”. This has resulted in a consolidation of
several vertical applications with varying degrees of automation and architectures that
are not longer required or supported.
• Systems decommissioning requires a strict adherence to mandates and regulations
related to contract terminations, disposition of assets, coordination's with various
OGD’s, records managements (including retention), transitions of fiscal management
duties and the placements of staff.
• To begin the process, a series of meetings will be scheduled to set the foundations of
the detail work activities for each of the applications. Irrespective of the final
decommissioning dates, the strategy and activities should remain the same, and getting
an early start on this should be beneficial. To assist others in subsequent efforts, we will
produce a System Decommissioning guidebook as an initial step.
Wednesday, October 28, 2015ECIO EXECUTIVE WORKBENCH Page: 5
6. • At the end of systems decommissioning, a phase review is conducted and lessons
learned for subsequent considerations of the other applications.
• The next pages present explanations and background on the various model’s,
processes and deliverables.
• Next, is a short descriptions from Wikipedia that explains the philosophy behind
applications sun setting.
Wednesday, October 28, 2015ECIO EXECUTIVE WORKBENCH Page: 6
7. SUN SETTING DEFINITION
• “Application retirement, also called application decommissioning and application
sun setting, is the practice of shutting down redundant or obsolete business
applications while retaining access to the historical data. Legacy applications are
often maintained solely to provide infrequent or sporadic access to the data within
the application database for regulatory or business purposes. With organizations
spending upwards of 75% of their application software budgets on ongoing
maintenance, application retirement can deliver significant cost savings.
• The act of application retirement usually involves relocating data from the legacy
application database to another data repository or archive store that can be
accessed independently using industry standard reporting or business intelligence
tools. Application retirement allows IT departments within companies to reduce the
software, hardware and resources required to manage legacy data.”
– Wikipedia (2013)
Wednesday, October 28, 2015ECIO EXECUTIVE WORKBENCH Page: 7
8. APPROACH & METHODOLOGY
• Our approach will follow a typical project life cycle dealing with applications
decommissioning and utilize standard projects artifacts in support of those
decommissioning efforts.
• For each release of the functionality delivered by Project we will have a “wave” of
applications scheduled for decommissioning. For each “wave”, we will undergo a set of
activities for each of the applications, but coordinated by each set of wave. For those
activities that cross applications suites e.g. contracts, infrastructure, we should be able
to maximize our efforts. Each effort should begin no later than 6 months prior to the
Project release. This will ensure we have enough time to make adjustments for staff,
contracts et al.
– Series of meeting for discovery per individual application
– This effort will be replicated by applications scheduled for decommissioning
– Execution
– Checklists
– Approach from the “Office of Systems Integration” as some other government
agencies have done.

Editor's Notes
Add in examples/takeaways per slide.. WIIFM topics.. Explanations per slide
Because of the complexity and interrelationships of several retirement initiatives as well as the projects that are related, we’ve approached this from an Office of Systems Integration (OSI), as the coordination body to assist in similar initiatives. If you see “OSI”, it is meant as this effort. For larger organizations that that undergo several deployments this is the typical management approach.
