The document discusses using metrics in IT contracts to reduce uncertainty. It explores different types of IT contracts like system integration, application services, and outsourcing. For each contract type, it examines factors like scope, execution approach, pricing/obligation models, progress metrics, and risks. While metrics carry risks like over-estimation, calibration can help. Heterogeneous environments also increase complexity, so open standards and sharing historical data across clients may help standardize metrics application in contracts. The conclusion is that metrics, when applied properly, can add value to contracts by reducing uncertainties.

What Can We Do With The ArchiMate Language?Iver Band
Last year, the Open Group released version 3.0 of the ArchiMate® standard, which provides a language with concepts for describing enterprise and solution architectures, a framework for organizing these concepts, a graphical notation for these concepts, and recommendations for viewpoints, which are visualization templates that address the concerns of particular stakeholders. The standard is public and free for end users. It can be extended through specialization of its concepts and relationships, and is supported by an increasing number of tools, consultancies and training organizations.
We use a fictitious—but realistic—case study to describe what we can do with the ArchiMate language. Each of the sections in this article presents one or more views of an ArchiMate model that tells a story about the collection and analysis of Big Data to create business value. Big Data consists of datasets that cannot be handled efficiently with traditional centralized data architectures due to their extensive volume, variety, velocity and variability. These characteristics demand scalable architectures for efficient storage, manipulation and analysis.

Standardization, cloud computing, and open source are hot topics for public bodies according to Michael Fagerlund of the National IT- and Telecom Agency. Standardization ensures interoperability and accessibility across Europe. Cloud computing provides computing resources over the internet in a cheaper, more customized, scalable and flexible way which benefits users with impairments. Open source software promotes accessibility, IT business services, collaboration, and development of interoperable systems across public sector institutions and borders. Key public actors include groups supported by the European Commission on standardization, cloud strategies, and procurement organizations who can disseminate accessibility knowledge. A challenge is convincing public and private bodies of the business case for accessibility given economic pressures to reduce costs through technology

A Distributed Antenna System (DAS) is a group of antennas that are spread out over a certain area and are separated by space. They are used to improve wireless services, such as cellular and radio signals, that are already in place. With the help of antennas, RF signals are changed into digital signals and digital signals are changed into RF signals. Distributed antenna systems (DAS) are used to improve network coverage and capacity in places like concert halls, sports arenas, and auditoriums where there is a lot of demand for wireless network services but not a lot of use. DAS networks are deployed indoors or outdoors. A Distributed Antenna System (DAS) is a group of hardware parts, such as antennas, headend units, radios, and others, that work together to improve network coverage and connectivity with great efficiency.

Available IT Benchmarks on the market:
• too generic or high level
• doesn´t reflect different methodologies, technologies, etc.
• definition of metrics can be misinterpreted
• definition cannot be adapted on specific conditions
• no option to get in touch with other benchmarking participants
7. Working group IT Benchmarking
was initiated together with European Outsourcing Association
Germany e.V.
6Dr. Andreas Maaser in confidence
comparison of outsourcing services on an operational level
projects with different parameters and methodologies of
software development (e.g. Waterfall, Scrum)
• companies with offshore IT development
• “users-only” benchmarking working group
• regular workshops
• definition of commonly accepted metrics of benchmarking
parameters to ensure comparability
• discussion of results (current metrics: defect density &
test effort)
• confidence – based on NDA
