Automatic Identification of what those Intellectual Properties are, and what they're all about.

Subject Matter Experts 		Lack of Factual detail Knowledge and Information as to "what all is involved", to Assess a Request and/or determine a realistic Estimate.
KeySys provides the ability to immediately assess a project's weight. The KeySys Bridge Solutions and Methodology package also provide step-by-step procedures for quick generation of fact based Project Estimates.

Replacing, Converting, Migrating or Merging an App takes so long, it goes over budget. Resulting in project abandonment (sunken costs) or "partial" replacement (some functions on the old system, some on the new). Result: increased internal infrastructure complexity and double maintenance/software costs. 		The time and man-power it takes to get all needed knowledge about the App in question (Functionality, Interfaces, Technologies, etc.) up-front - prior to Project Initiation.
Analytics software which enables visuals of Discovery, Design Recovery, and Identification of "Master Files".

(like Compliance, Regulation, & Litigation) 		Entire Organization
Determining point of impact (in any given system) for incorporating new regulations, and/or getting information for Litigation must be done in a specific timeframe. If not, the results are penalties, loss of revenue and in the case of tainted food - loss of lives. 		Lack of knowledgeable, experienced personnel to determine where in a given App to make a Compliance/Reg change, and/or where to dig out info pertaining to a potential or real Litigation case.
KeySys enables even a clerk to obtain Point of Impact information, as well as the whereabouts and usage of any data.

The time it takes to identify and retrieve data of interest, for various projects, often puts a project in jeopardy, i.e. BI, SAAS, Cloud Population. 		Identifying where the Data Comes from and how its configured
Search Engines that identify what Data is on what Datastores (Files/Databases/Tables), and how its configured.

Leaving the new hire unable to attain true productivity for months to years. By which point they "move on" and with each "move on" a piece of that knowledge gets lost. 		One cannot transfer knowledge one does not have. Retaining hundreds of programs, files, screens, Databases, Tables and Libraries in one's head (and how they relate) is physically impossible.
The KeySys Cloud provides all knowledge necessary for any New Hire to become immediately productive.

The First clue is typically a program malfunction. Currently requiring an App Support person's investigation of the problem program - just to assess the potential cause of the problem. Waste of time and a waste of Operation's and Help Desk resources (who initially process the problem). 		Doing Program Rationalization (reconstructing the functionality of a program) manually - just to figure out what a program is doing - before being able to address the cause of a given problem.
KeySys provides:
1)a Program Profile. A visual of the essence of a given program.
2) DB2 Table Definitions, Idiosyncrasies, and Relationships
3) A "CRUD" Matrix, showing what program does what to which Datastore (File, Database, Table)

The Current model is inapplicable for Organizations with existing Business Application Systems. Its focus is on "what we want" instead of "what already exists", resulting in wrong action and/or total underestimation of the effort involved. 		Lack of Automation, Focus, and Procedures to drive a project bottom-up: to obtain detailed factual information about the "existing" prior to Project Initiatives and changes.
The KeySys Methodology enables the incorporation of a NEW Processing Model. One where what currently exists drives the Estimates, Design, Development and Testing effort.
