This document discusses knowledge architecture analysis, which is a key component of Open Text Corporation's project methodology. It involves characterizing a problem or opportunity in terms of knowledge management, verifying expected gains from using technology, and comparing the target application's logic to Livelink functionality. The analysis develops a first cut project approach by refining the problem, pinpointing the underlying knowledge architecture, and assessing the existing infrastructure and integration requirements. The goal is to establish the best foundation for evaluating technology features by integrating best practices from various disciplines like business process reengineering.
In this presentation you will get to know how practice of “Analyzing Business, Identifying Problems and Opportunities and providing Solutions” that will benefit business.

Prezentacja ma podkreślić wagę komunikacji w początkowych fazach projektu. Za pomocą technik zwinnych przetworzymy wymagania i stworzymy bardziej elastyczne na zmiany produkty.
Nawet projekty z zamkniętą i rozbudowaną dokumentacją mogą być tworzone w taki sposób.
W ramach prezentacji pokażę przykład jak pracować z wymaganiami biznesowymi. Jak przejść z ogólnego stwierdzenia, wywiadu do wymagań funkcjonalnych i niefunkcjonalnych a z nich utworzyć User Story lub inne artefakty technik zwinnych.
Pokażę jaką pracę wykonują analitycy biznesowi w projektach IT używających technik zwinnych.
Jak ważna jest komunikacja? Jak nie można zmieniać funkcjonalności kiedy ograniczają nas sztywne ramy kontraktu? Jak testować wymagania na początku projektu? Podkreślę rolę jezyka w zrozumieniu wymagań projektu.
Tthe 8-step business analysis process that you can apply whether you are in an agile environment or a traditional one, whether you are purchasing off-the-shelf software or building custom code, whether you are responsible for a multi-million dollar project or a one-week project.
Depending on the size and complexity of your project, you can go through these steps quickly or slowly, but to get to a successful outcome you must go through them
Actuaries and Examiners Talk Numbers: Go Figure!Sedgwick
When actuaries and claims examiners discuss and compare numbers, the resulting conversation can be fascinating. It is the claims examiner that reviews individual claim files and estimates the ultimate cost or reserve associated with each file. It is then the actuary who takes the aggregate claims data and estimates the cost of losses for the historical policy periods and coming year. The expertise and resulting analyses of both can have a tremendous impact on an employer’s program and the organization’s budgeting process. Learn more about both the reserving and actuarial forecasting process and become better prepared to ask questions and contribute to future financial discussions. Panelists will describe the reserving process from the point of view of the claims examiner, review the data and process used to complete an actuarial loss forecast, and talk about the impact these numbers have on the risk management program.

MetaCDN: Enabling High Performance, Low Cost Content Storage and Delivery via...James Broberg
My talk on MetaCDN for the Cloudslam 2009 virtual conference.
Many 'Cloud Storage' providers have launched in the last two years, providing internet accessible data storage and delivery in several continents that is backed by rigorous Service Level Agreements (SLAs), guaranteeing specific performance and uptime targets. The facilities offered by these providers is leveraged by developers via provider-specific Web Service APIs. For content creators, these providers have emerged as a genuine alternative to dedicated Content Delivery Networks (CDNs) for global file storage and delivery, as they are significantly cheaper, have comparable performance and no ongoing contract obligations. As a result, the idea of utilising Storage Clouds as a 'poor mans' CDN is very enticing. However, many of these 'Cloud Storage' providers are merely basic storage services, and do not offer the capabilities of a fully-featured CDN such as intelligent replication, failover, load redirection and load balancing. Furthermore, they can be difficult to use for non-developers, as each service is best utilised via unique web services or programmer APIs. In this presentation, we describe the design, architecture, implementation and user-experience of MetaCDN, a system that integrates these 'Cloud Storage' providers into an unified CDN service that provides high performance, low cost, geographically distributed content storage and delivery for content creators. MetaCDN harnesses the power of 'Cloud Storage' for novices and seasoned users alike, offering an easy to use web portal and a sophisticated Web Service API.
