Agile Software Solution Supporting Cross-Organizational Business Transactions Introduction/ Background The number of organizations that automate cross-organizational business transactions is rapidly expanding. Malone (2001:104) indicates “the relentless march of improvements in the cost- performance ratio of in-formation technology as main driver of this development”. Porter (2001) mention that the “benefits of performing transactions electronically include extending market reach, saving time, cutting costs and responding to customer queries more agilely”. Media enterprises feel the increasing pressure to establish inexpensive agile software solutions for data and information interchange. Since broadcasting organisations in South Africa …show more content…
This mean wrong show information is displayed. When the Schedule changes after they have updated the schedule on the system they must generate an xml file manually again of which sometimes they forget. When there is an event like soccer tournament, memorial services of DR Nelson Mandela e.g. Soccer world, if SABC1 will be broadcasting the tournament or event they move all affected shows to other TV channels; it can be SABC2 or SABC3. Of which the xml file have to be re-created again. Research Objectives 1. To improve interoperability on software solution supporting cross-organizational business transactions. 2. To help SABC implement efficient and reliable data integration solutions. Research Methodology An early and often cited paper by Adrion (1993, cited in Flint 2009, p. 229 - 230) presents engineering method as one of software engineering research method. It is necessary to utilize engineering method in this study in order to observe existing solutions, propose better solutions, build or develop, measure and analyse, and repeat until no further improvements are possible. Data Collection Technique The purpose of this study is to improve interoperability between SABC and multichoice. The best data collection technique for this study is observation. In this study will observe the existing solution utilized by SABC for information
At this stage, the specifics of the scope and the general content of the project has been identified and is the first step in database development. It illustrates the overall picture of organizational data at a high level of abstraction. In addition,
Business organizations receive different types data, from different sources, in the form of sales records, customer databases,

This research paper will be focus on different software modeling techniques. Software modeling is concerned with development process of software. Software modeling is central part of almost all activities that took place in software development. These models help us to envision a system according to our requirement by describing the structure and behavior of the system. There are three basic techniques of software modeling; object oriented modeling, dynamic modeling and functional modeling. Object oriented modeling concept start in 1990s, its basic building block is object that is the instant of any class, and here class is a template containing attributes and methods of objects. Classes and their relationships are present in class diagram. As a class have many type of relations with other class within a class diagram. These relationships are about inheritance and some are about
The integration of systems will help Transactional Specialists work more efficiently to meet the Service Level Agreement (SLA) timeframe of 24 hours as information and processes are standardized between the two systems. We no longer need to duplicate data entry of particulars and it also reduces the time spent on retrieving information across different systems and the risk of privacy breach of CPs.
Purpose of this assignment: To demonstrate understanding of principles of software design, in relation to specific programming scenarios, and how these principles relate to the software development life cycle.
Understanding software methodology and its impact on deign of software systems is important. Methodology is defined as a system approach to the analysis and design of information systems, which is administered by a set of principles. There are different types of methodologies that are available to developers
Base on the analysis the reference, the general consensus in the research is that this enterprise project fell into the most basic traps of software development, from poor planning to bad communications throughout the lifecycle of the project. Our team will focus on the following aspects including scope, human resource, procurement, unrealistic scheduling, contracting and contract management, program management and enterprise architecture, the report will analyze each topic and make corresponding recommendation to improve the practice.

Secondly, the communication channels and procurement procedures of Ford and its tier network are bound within the limits of traditional phone and fax methods resulting in delaying procurements, clogging inventories and affording errors typical of a manual process. Unlike the fully automated online system of Dell, Ford 's manual ordering and accounting procedures waste manpower, amass stock and, in the end, prolong OTD. Furthermore, many of Ford 's lower tier partners lack the capital to invest into an Internet Technology (IT) infrastructure that would be necessary to fully support virtual integration. Not only do these suppliers lack the technology and funding for IT initiatives, the incentive to upgrade is, also, non-existent.
Choosing a proper method for software design is completely depended upon the requirements and end products of the company. These requirements and goals might change in the process of development of software depending upon the decisions of stakeholders, developers and system analysts.
Successful projects where software engineering methods have been applied include Linux, the space shuttle software, and automatic teller machines. When it is cheaper to run a business or

Though many people interchange system engineering models and software engineering life cycle models, they are defined as two different approaches to software development. System engineering is the technical and technical management process that results in delivered products and systems that exhibit the best balance of cost and performance. As the program progresses from one phase to the next one, so does the system engineering process. It deals with the overall management of engineering project during their life cycle. Its main focus is knowing what the clients and end users wants and needs are satisfied and developing just that all the way through the system’s entire life cycle. Whereas, on the other hand, software engineering focuses on the quality of the product or system, how cost effective it is, is it done within the time-constraints given, whether it is easy to maintain and enhance, and does it work as the requirements defined. Its main focus is on delivering a product that meets the requirement specifications. There are so many models to choose from, as it all depends on what the project needs and entails. Depending on the requirements, allows for the choice of what mode to use.
