Transcript Eclipse IDE
What we do – make companies run better by: • Improving how people and computers work together - Eliminating the steps with no value added - Reducing the complexity of interfaces - Streamlining the process flows • Integrating silos of automation into a coherent whole - Eliminating redundant data entry - Speeding up batch based synchronization • Providing aspirin for growing pains - Expansion to more than one office - Mergers • Increasing revenue and decrease costs Process steps for a generic company – obviously highly simplified Procurement Order acquisition Product development Shipping and Receiving Human resources Fulfillment Accounting Information technology Customer service Management Alodar Systems makes companies run better – some examples Automated reconciliations Remote order entry Improved data access Reduced time to market Route optimization Reduced hiring lag time Reduced cost per new hire Higher inventory turns Eliminated redundant entry Reduced billing cycle Reduced invoice costs Reduced help desk load Call center consolidation Shorter time to satisfaction More timely data access How we do it – a four step process Implementation Discovery Analysis Design Our approach to discovery Web-based time logging Automated process mining Process flow Validation rendering interviews Computer log conversion Assessment of current operations Our approach to analysis Modelling Recommendations Roadmap for improvement Task defense Business cases Comparison to industry best practices Our approach to design GUI Scenarios Use cases Requirements Design Allocation to builds Interface Control Allocation to components Test Procedures Our approach to implementation Configuration Files Custom Components Configuration Plug-ins Build File Build Plug-Ins Eclipse IDE Deployment File Deploy Plug-Ins Open Source Components Standards Test Plug-Ins Test Files Some of our methodology • Requirement justification - business cases • Requirement specifications - traceable requirements • Implementation - write test code first • Test procedures - prove requirement satisfaction • Maintenance structure - source code control - separate test and ops environs - automated system builds Key elements of our approach to implementation • Open source rather than commercial software – - Reduce or eliminate license and maintenance fees • State of the art plug-in tools in Eclipse IDE - Reduce labor expense • Adherence to standards - Prolong the life of the solution - Prevent vendor lock-in Alodar Systems Proprietary The advantages of open source software • Lower software costs - no license or maintenance fees • Simplified license management – no need to count, track, or monitor • Customizable – you get the source code, can tweak it to exactly what you want • Ample support – free on-line community forums, multiple levels of paid support available • Quality software peer review of designs and implementations • Best of breed – commercial software is acquisition lash-ups •Lower hardware costs, greater scaling potential • http://www.informit.com/articles/article.asp?p=376255&rl=1 • http://www.dwheeler.com/oss_fs_why.html • http://www.cio.com/archive/030104/open.html The importance of standards • Avoidance of vendor lock-in -When a better component comes along swap it in • More rapid implementations and lower implementation costs -Put applications together from components rather than start from scratch • Wider community support and lower support costs -
