CHALLENGES FOR MANAGING COMPLEX APPLICATION PORTFOLIOS: A CASE STUDY OF SOUTH...IJMIT JOURNAL
This research explores the challenges in management and the root cause for complex application portfolios
in the public sector. It takes Australian public sector organisations with the case of South Australia Police
(SAPOL) for evaluation it being one of the significant and mission critical state government agencies. The
exploratory research surfaces some of the key challenges using interview as primary data collection
source, along with archive records, documentation, and direct observation as secondary sources. This
paper reports on the information analysed surfacing eight key issues. It highlights that the organic growth
of the technology portfolios, with mission criticality has resulted in many quick fixes which are not aligned
with long term enterprise architectural stability. Integration of different mismatched technologies, along
with the pressure from the business to always keep the lights on, does not provide the opportunity for the
portfolios to be rationalised in an ongoing way. Other issues and the areas for further study are explored
at the end.

Risk of Adopting Open Source ERP for Small Manufacturers: A Case StudyPlacide Poba Nzaou
Purpose - This study aims to explore the process of open source software (OSS) adoption in small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), and more specifically open source ERP as a “mission critical” OSS application in manufacturing. It also addresses the fundamental issue of ERP risk management that shapes this process.
Design/methodology/approach - The approach is done through an interpretive case study of a small Canadian manufacturer that has adopted an open source ERP system.
Findings - Interpreted in the light of diffusion of innovation theory and the IT risk management literature, results indicate that the small manufacturer successfully managed the adoption process in a rather intuitive manner, based on one guiding principle and nine practices.
Practical implications - This research confirms that open source is a credible alternative for SMEs that decide willingly or under external pressure to adopt an ERP system. Moreover, it suggests that a high level of formalization is not always necessary. For ERP vendors, this study shows that SMEs are more in search of flexibility in an ERP system than in the “best practices” embedded within these systems.
Originality/value - We argue that rich insights into the dynamics of the OSS-ERP adoption process can be obtained by framing this process within a risk management context.

Nintex Workflow for Sharepoint - Return on Investment Whitepaper by Forrester...David J Rosenthal
Nintex commissioned Forrester Research to conduct aTotal
Economic Impact™ (TEI) study and examine the potential
return on investment (ROI) that enterprises may realize by
deploying Nintex’s workflow platform. The purpose of this
study is to provide readers with a framework to evaluate the
potential financial impact of using the Nintex workflow platform
within their organizations.
To better understand the benefits, costs, and risksassociated
with the implementation of the Nintex workflow platform, which we will refer to as the Platform, Forrester interviewed several
customers with multiple years of experience using Nintex Workflow and Nintex Forms. These customers recognize the value
inherent in automating processes. Their colleagues and customers are working both in offices and on mobile devices and
are spread across many countries. Content necessaryto collaborate and make business decisions is stored in many
applications across these devices. They have some well-defined processes, but the steps leading up to these processes or
to connect closely related processes are loosely defined and manual. With Nintex Workflow, customers can automate their
processes and create workflows that connect their people, processes, and content. With Nintex Forms, Nintex provides an
easy way to collect data from colleagues and customers within the workflow. Using Nintex Mobile, customers can extend
these workflows to users who are on the go. With Nintex Connectors, customers can easily integrate cloud services and lineof-business applications into their workflows.
Prior to using the Platform, these customers were mostly relying on custom code to automate processes. However, it was
difficult and time-consuming to build workflows, and many processes remained manual (e.g. paper-based,email, excel files)
while a backlog of requests for automation grew. This left customers frustrated with process inefficiencies and the inability to
automate faster. With the Platform, customers are able to automate processes in pace with demand, connect the right
people and data in each process, and easily make changes to workflows as processes change. This results in increased
productivity for end users and IT, reduced costs associated with automation, better collaboration, and higher quality of work.

Network and Workflow for a Ddata Analytics Company on Ssports.
A company’s network and workflow play a major roles in its performance and growth. Different companies consist of rely on different networks and workflows depending on the services/tasks they are providing and the number of workers and members of staff. A network tends to connect workers and members of staff at different levels of the company. This network tends to create a good and effective workflow within the company, hence a company network and workflow go hand in hand. When creating a network and a workflow of a company, the workers and members of staff working duration must be considered in order to achieve a company objective (Moretti, 2017).Also, the mode of employment which may be permanent or temporary/laying down of workers within a short period of time, to a large extent determines a company’s network and workflow. The change of an organizational requirement due to growth and expansion creates a need for a company to adapt a new network and workflow. A network in company plays a vital role of guiding how the company should run its operations. Comment by Mark O'Connell: Duration?? Comment by Mark O'Connell: What? Laying down??

The Business vs. IT: Can’t We All Just Get Along?eprentise
It is no surprise that IT is not always aligned with business goals. The conflicts arise because IT is often unaware of how the business uses the systems that IT is responsible for installing and supporting, and the business is often unaware of exactly what is involved in an IT project. There are several other reasons for the disconnect between IT and the business.

What is the relationship between Accounting and an Accounting inform.pdfannikasarees
What is the relationship between Accounting and an Accounting information system? (2.5
Marks)
Accounting-Methods, procedures, and standards followed in accumulating, classifying,
recording, and reporting business events and transactions. The accounting system includes the
formal records and original source data. Regulatory requirements may exist on how a particular
accounting system is to be maintained (e.g., insurance company).
Accounting Information System-Subsystem of a Management Information System (MIS) that
processes financial transactions to provide (1) internal reporting to managers for use in planning
and controlling current and future operations and for nonroutine decision making; (2) external
reporting to outside parties such as to stockholders, creditors, and government agencies.
• What has happened to the relationship over the years? (2.5 Marks)
Accounting and Information technology are two terms which are the used in every business .
Because both are needed for effective working of a corporate or company. It is the need of time
that we should understand the relationship between Accounting and Information Technology .
Accounting is related recording and utilisation of recorded data . Information technology is
scientific , technological , engineering disciplines and management technique used in
information handling and processing , their application , computers and their interaction with
men and machines and associated , economical and cultural matters . In Simple wording IT is
that technique which and get and utilize the information with effective and efficient way.
Now , we are ready for giving the relationship between Accounting And Information
technology.
Both are related to get information and utilization of that information . So both are
interconnected with each other . If our specialize of both area merge both system with scientific
and technical way , then they easily overcome the different problems due to lack of correct and
adequate information related to business.
• What is accounting information? (1 marks)
Accounting information can be classified into two categories: financial accounting or public
information and managerial accounting or private information. Financial accounting includes
information disseminated to parties that are not part of the enterprise proper—stockholders,
creditors, customers, suppliers, regulatory commissions, financial analysts, and trade
associations—although the information is also of interest to the company\'s officers and
managers. Such information relates to the financial position, liquidity (that is, ability to convert
to cash), and profitability of an enterprise.
Managerial accounting deals with cost-profit-volume relationships, efficiency and productivity,
planning and control, pricing decisions, capital budgeting, and similar matters. This information
is not generally disseminated outside the company. Whereas the general-purpose financial
statements of financial accounting are assumed.
Vision Critical has conducted this research to assess how medium and large Canadian businesses would benefit if they adopted a cloud-based, virtually managed network service.

Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object CalisthenicsDorra BARTAGUIZ
After immersing yourself in the blue book and its red counterpart, attending DDD-focused conferences, and applying tactical patterns, you're left with a crucial question: How do I ensure my design is effective? Tactical patterns within Domain-Driven Design (DDD) serve as guiding principles for creating clear and manageable domain models. However, achieving success with these patterns requires additional guidance. Interestingly, we've observed that a set of constraints initially designed for training purposes remarkably aligns with effective pattern implementation, offering a more ‘mechanical’ approach. Let's explore together how Object Calisthenics can elevate the design of your tactical DDD patterns, offering concrete help for those venturing into DDD for the first time!

Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.
