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.

WEB-BASED CASE BBC Digital Media Initiative Revisited
The National Audit Office (NAO) scrutinizes public spending in the United Kingdom. Its memorandum on the BBC’s DMI project reported on several key findings. First, the in-house team was severely challenged by the fact that the project was already 18 months behind schedule when they began work on the project. Second, the technology team issued releases throughout the project that did not meet end-user expectations and eroded confidence in the project. Third, the BBC focused more on the technological development rather than on encouraging organization-wide changes in workflow that would encourage adoption. Finally, the NAO concluded, the DMI lacked governance arrangements for the scale, risk, and complexity of the project.
Do research online to identify the capabilities of digital asset management software. What are the top-rated digital asset management software products? Who uses this software?
Given the NAO’s findings and what you discover about available off-the-shelf products, would it have been wiser for the BBC to adopt a collection of these existing products? What actions would be necessary to gain the cooperation of the business units to incorporate this collection of products into their work processes?

Why a DevOps approach is critical to achieve digital transformation
The Internet of Things, mobile, big data and social media have all contributed to the need for a digital transformation of the products and services that companies deliver. The main objective of DevOps is to tightly integrate development and operations to improve the velocity of launching both new and enhanced existing applications to market whilst meeting other essential criteria such as quality, security and efficiency. DevOps can be a key enabler to support the Digital Transformation journey towards the new era of a unified, consistent and channel neutral experience.

2014_Executive_Leadership_Conference_Summary
The document summarizes an executive leadership conference that used an innovative approach of interactive workshops and human-centered design thinking to address challenges of cross-agency collaboration. Participants provided overwhelmingly positive feedback. Key outcomes included:
- Three conceptual solutions were developed to promote citizen-centric government, enable creative thinking about shared solutions, and drive transformation through outcome-focused leadership.
- The concepts and discussions captured will be used by related interest groups to advance shared service initiatives across agencies.
- The new conference format engaged participants in problem-solving and garnered praise for moving beyond traditional panels, signaling its potential to inspire innovation at other events.
EXPLORING THE LINK BETWEEN LEADERSHIP AND DEVOPS PRACTICE AND PRINCIPLE ADOPTION
The document discusses exploring the link between leadership and DevOps practice and principle adoption. It analyzes data from interviews with 30 practitioners working in software-intensive organizations across different industries and countries. The interviews identified a set of agile, lean, and DevOps practices and principles commonly adopted as part of transitioning to DevOps. It was found that DevOps-oriented organizations can benefit from certain existing ITIL service management practices like change management and release management. Additionally, the research uncovered that DevOps adoption requires leadership, initially in the form of an individual role to guide the team through the transition process.
EXPLORING THE LINK BETWEEN LEADERSHIP AND DEVOPS PRACTICE AND PRINCIPLE ADOPTION
Our research focuses in software-intensive organizations and highlights the challenges that surface as a result of the transitioning process of highly-structured to DevOps practices and principles adoption. The approach collected data via a series of thirty (30) interviews, with practitioners from the EMEA
region (Czech Republic, Estonia, Italy, Georgia, Greece, The Netherlands, Saudi Arabia, South Africa, UAE, UK), working in nine (9) different industry domains and ten (10) different countries. A set of agile, lean and DevOps practices and principles were identified, which organizations select as part of DevOps-oriented adoption. The most frequently adopted ITIL® service management practices, contributing to DevOps practice and principle adoption success, indicate that DevOps-oriented
organizations benefit from the existence of change management, release and deployment management, service level management, incident management and service catalog management. We also uncover that the DevOps adoption leadership role is required in a DevOps team setting and that it should, initially, be an individual role.

Project Title: Michael Joseph Place, The place to be
Project Start Date: 25/7/2018
Projected Finish Date: 25/12/2018
Budget Information: $ 4,500.00
Project Manager: Student name,[email protected], 210- 105 - 6676
Business Need
The project manager will be hosting an evening lounge event that will be targeting the clientele to an upscale lounge to be built in downtown. Through such an event the city will have a positive exposure.
There will be need for effective marketing, music, modern décor and most likely investors. The menu for food and drinks will need to be within budget. The venue needs to have amiable space and adequate seats for all guests.
The first step to this project involves coming up with a plan on a piece of paper. Once this is done the next step will involve selection of vendors to various goods and services. Once everything has been put to perspective the next stage will be to involve investors who will include local business owners. These investors will be encouraged to do so with the exchange for them to market and advertise their products at the event. We will have three packages for investors including Silver, Gold and Platinum packages.
Project Objectives
The proposal is to have a social entertainment evening lounge in Chicago. The project managers will be showcasing the new concept of entertainment by holding a series of events known as “The Place to be!”
· The events will be used to showcase the atmosphere that the new lounge will be offering
· The events will offer the professional audiences an opportunity to network while at the same time being entertained.
· The events will be targeting an audience of 150 attendants
· To have an environment where attendants can dance, dine and drink socially while discussing business.
Approach
This project will be managed in accordance with the PMI approach as modified.
Assumptions/Constraints/Dependencies
The assumption is that with the provision of an exquisite and upscale venue that is mature in Chicago, IL, will be successful due to the fact that there is no such a venue within a 100 mile radius.
One of the likely constraint is finding a venue that grabs attention of the targeted crowd.
The success of these events depends on attracting two sets of individuals. One of them is investors and the other is private professionals who will attend a social event at night.
Initial Risk Factors
· Obtaining a liquor license on time for the event is the major risk factor.
· Failure of attendees despite investing money and time is another risk.
· Failing to complete the organizational plans within 30 days before the event series begin.
· Not attracting any viable investors
Regulatory cost/impact
One of the needed licensing is from the city council where I will be required to get a special event license. This will enable us to have alcohol i.

AIIM CMIS Panel Session - 20 April 2010
Panel Discussion at AIIM Expo Conference in Philadelphia discussing how to implement CMIS into your organization.
Enterprise Case Study: Enabling a More Mobile Way of Working
Worldpay implemented Citrix XenMobile to enable a more mobile workforce and reduce IT complexity. By analyzing employee behaviors, Worldpay determined mobile users primarily consumed content rather than created it. Worldpay deployed XenMobile across all Citrix users to provide new mobile capabilities and transform how employees worked. This involved an upfront investment but was expected to save costs over three years. The implementation allowed employees to access corporate resources remotely using their own devices.

It also stresses the importance of proactive maintenance and release management workflows.
SAP Best Practices for a mobility center of excellence
The document discusses best practices for establishing a mobility center of excellence (COE) to centralize governance, standards, and activities around mobile technology initiatives across an enterprise. It recommends securing executive sponsorship, driving partnership between business and IT, engaging end users to understand mobility needs, defining an initial "straw man" mobility strategy, and starting with small projects to refine the COE over time. The COE aims to accelerate mobile deployments, minimize duplicate efforts, and provide leadership to manage personal and company-owned mobile devices accessing corporate data and applications.

Summary
Over the past ten years, scores of Fortune 1000 organizations have felt the pain associated with introducing a new technology in their organizations. From ERP to CRM, these applications
have streamlined data and processes for companies, but have certainly taken a toll as well.
Executive sponsors aren’t always involved as they need to be, and a significant number of individuals within most organizations are resistant to these new applications. Our experts discuss how coaching can help.
Topics covered range from recommendations on how coaches can partner with executives, stakeholders, and project managers throughout an implementation, to the competencies
required to successfully manage the change resulting from the introduction of a new application.
Lean Digital Enterprise Evolution in a Hyper Connected World
Hyperconnectivity is changing the business landscape, requiring organizations to become "lean digital enterprises" that can quickly respond to changing needs. This will involve new approaches to developing highly interconnected applications (HCAs) that integrate people, processes, products and things. The document outlines challenges for CXOs and proposes a new lean digital technology foundation and development approach using tools like CollabNet TeamForge to efficiently create HCAs.
A Guide to SOA Implementation | Torry Harris Whitepaper
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.
Application Rationalization | Torry Harris Whitepaper
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.

By analyzing employee behaviors, Worldpay determined mobile users primarily consumed content rather than created it. Worldpay deployed XenMobile across all Citrix users to provide new mobile capabilities and transform how employees worked. This involved an upfront investment but was expected to save costs over three years. The implementation allowed employees to access corporate resources remotely using their own devices.

A Guide to SOA Implementation | Torry Harris Whitepaper
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.
Application Rationalization | Torry Harris Whitepaper
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.

Web Services in SOA | Torry Harris
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.

Removing Uninteresting Bytes in Software Fuzzing
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.

Observability Concepts EVERY Developer Should Know -- DeveloperWeek Europe.pdf
Monitoring and observability aren’t traditionally found in software curriculums and many of us cobble this knowledge together from whatever vendor or ecosystem we were first introduced to and whatever is a part of your current company’s observability stack.
While the dev and ops silo continues to crumble….many organizations still relegate monitoring & observability as the purview of ops, infra and SRE teams. This is a mistake - achieving a highly observable system requires collaboration up and down the stack.
I, a former op, would like to extend an invitation to all application developers to join the observability party will share these foundational concepts to build on:

SOA Roadmap and Education | Torry Harris
- 1. http://www.thbs.com Business ChallengeBusiness ChallengeBusiness ChallengeBusiness Challenge CYFD, New Mexico was facing the challenge that most organizations face; spaghetti of legacy systems, monolithic applications, huge time to implement changes and maintenance nightmare. Being a government organization, CYFD could not afford huge number of developers to maintain its systems. Moreover, all the stakeholders were still thinking in “application islands” approach. CYFD CTO was convinced that they need to adopt Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) principles. However, convincing and getting a buy-in from all the stakeholders was not an easy task. ClientClientClientClient Children, Youth and Family Department (CYFD) – New Mexico SolutionSolutionSolutionSolution Torry Harris was approached to solve this business challenge. Our solution consisted of two important steps: 1. Education on SOA principles and technologies and getting a buy-in from the stakeholders 2. Understanding existing systems and come up with SOA roadmap for CYFD Education on SOA Torry Harris devised a training plan targeting all the stakeholders who were performing different functions like architecture, business analysis, software development, testing and front-end development. At the end of the training, a proof-of-concept was delivered by implementing one of the use cases. The use case was developed entirely by CYFD developers and within three days of time. This was a significant achievement compared to the amount of time it used to take to implement the same on legacy platforms. The proof-of-concept was demonstrated to different stakeholders and they were impressed by the result. At the end of the training, people had learnt and demonstrated the benefits of using service orientation principles. This helped to get a buy-in from all the stakeholders. SOA Roadmap Case study
- 2. http://www.thbs.com The second dimension to Torry Harris solution was to understand the existing CYFD application landscape and come up with a SOA roadmap. Torry Harris followed the structured approach to come up with CYFD SOA roadmap. 1. Gather information about existing applications Torry Harris planned and conducted interviews with CTO, architects, developers and support personnel to understand the existing applications, technologies, their connectivity, life cycle and time required to make changes, and issues in support. 2. Define architecture for these applications based on SOA principles The next phase of CYFD roadmap consisted of definition of a new architecture aligning to SOA principles. The architecture took into account the investment made and leverage the existing applications where we can. 3. Demonstration of the new architecture by a proof-of-concept implementation Torry Harris implemented a proof-of-concept application demonstrating the SOA architectural principles and technologies. Business BenefitsBusiness BenefitsBusiness BenefitsBusiness Benefits At the end of one month assignment, Torry Harris had achieved the goal of educating CYFD stakeholders on SOA and getting their buy-in and devising a SOA road map for CYFD applications. CTO expressed great satisfaction to see thinking in terms of services and their reuse in their design discussions. This was a major step forward to implement the CYFD applications in service oriented manner.
