Application Life Cycle Management…is Easy. At least when building Brand New Business Application systems. After half of a century developing them, I.T. has the model down pretty well.
Reality: Most Mid-to-large Companies/Organizations already have existing Business Application Systems in place to handle their day-to-day Business needs. They rarely:
- * Build Brand New, Stand-Alone systems that do not integrate with existing systems
- * Build Brand New, Stand-Alone systems that do not use any of the existing Data
As such, the old Life-Cycle Management model, along with various methodologies, is no longer applicable, functional, nor effective.
In this reality, due to Existing Systems’ volume, complexity, integrations, and varied technologies, a new model and methodology is needed to perform effective Life Cycle Management.
A New Model which:
- * Provides a visual of exactly what we’re trying to manage
- * Addresses the need of first figuring out “what all is impacted” – prior to any design or even project initiation. Because “what all is impacted” could be the difference between a thousand $$ or million $$ change investment
A New Model that provides in-depth knowledge concerning any Business Application System. For any Maintenance, Enhancement, Quality Assurance, and Turnover/Training effort - Automatically, visibly, quickly and accurately.
Automation is the key. Manually trying to obtain, or retain, this level of knowledge, within a reasonable time frame, ranges anywhere from very time consuming to humanly impossible.
Software Quality, for example, is typically checked in the “Testing” phase. Thoroughly testing any change requires knowing exactly what all to test. Identifying that, requires knowledge of how the system flows. How does it flow? Figure it out.
Turnover/Training: Statistically it takes 2.5 years before a new person becomes fully productive. There’s just too much to learn and absorb. Absorb and remember. None of it is visible. You’re looking at a black hole. How does this work? Figure it out.
With Ravensun’s Automated Analytics Software System Key=Sys® (KeySys) ...the new processing model, coupled with the new methodology – Life Cycle Management just got a whole lot easier.
Quick, Efficient, Effective. To figure it out? – just click!
