Collaborating with highly trained professionals at “Mindtree Limited”, I have applied myself in Application Integration and Business Process Management (BPM) practices to optimize processes for effective human interaction with enterprise applications. Reshaping my technical skill-set with enhanced focus on business aspects, I was hand-picked by “International Business Machine” (IBM). As part of this firm, I implemented the nuances of Service Oriented Architecture (SOA), BPM principles and modelled integration layer solutions to give hassle free access to the central storehouse of information. Additionally, our team designed inventive solutions to automate various manual operations, in-turn reducing significant overheads for a Canada based Telecom client.

The computer software industry is a relatively new development on the international market place. Only a few decades ago, there was no such industry at all. Thanks to a number of innovative software developers, the rise of the industry has become a booming success. The industry itself increased dramatically in the 1990s. It was during this period that software was growing in a number of other supporting industries. Software soon became an integral part of industries like healthcare, business applications like databases and network structures, personal finance, and education (Kent & Williams 1997). The more intertwined it became with other business applications, the more successful software became as a

As more companies enter the marketplace, the need to attract and retain customers will not only increase but also be necessary for survival. The Seagram Company has undergone numerous changes to maintain market share. Again, the company in the midst of major change and is in need of a current diagnosis of the situation and recommendations on how to advance these ambitious goals. The project needed to implement the change is necessary as today’s organizations face a number of challenges resulting from demographics, competition, new technologies, and economic variables (Peus, Frey, Gerkhardt, Fischer, & Traut-Mattausch, 2009). The following proposal will include a diagnosis of the

Smith Systems Consulting has received some feedback and concerns that their processes and procedures are not sufficiently documented. This lack of professional documentation has caused some loss of potential contracts for the firm. The Learning Team Bravo has been given the assignment to define, develop, and propose standards for a software testing environment at Smith. This will be accomplished by defining the Smith engagement approach, introducing the way the firm works with clients and how projects are managed, defining the software development and quality assurance processes and procedures, describing in detail testing procedures to be exercised, describing the infrastructure including hardware and software capabilities that will make up the software testing environment, and by defining the format and requirements for development of formal program specification.

Managing this new model is a challenge for IT leaders. The differences between the old systems and the new processes mean that there aren’t many platforms available for managing an organization’s entire IT asset portfolio. “The good news is,” Leong says, “over time, more and more workloads will migrate from the old to the new model.”

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.

Advertised as “The best-in-class project lifecycle management solution for capital planning, project delivery, cost control, and facilities and real estate management.” Oracle’s Primavera Unifier provides governance across all project phases, from planning and building to operations and maintenance (Oracle’s Primavera Unifier, n.d.). It is consistently used throughout the organization and fits well into its portfolio. This system is classified as a Computerized Maintenance Management System (CMMS) and was designed to collect data about an asset such as preventative maintenance schedules, licensing, and rates of depreciation.

I started my career as a Software Developer working for MetricStream where I worked on their proprietary platform “AppStudio”. “AppStudio” is a rapid application development tool which is built on top of another tool called “Enterprise Governance Risk Compliance Platform”(EGRCP) . Both these tools very tightly coupled together and most of my work involved adding new features and widgets to this tool.

Improving the efficiency of the business lifecycle with the use of technology i.e. Proclaim and other structured programming ‘digital’ methods requires that a structured and much considered approach needs to be taken to translate the business processes into the digital environment, taking great care along the way to ensure that a granular view of each process is considered prior to the project handover to the development team.

Product Life Cycle Management (PLM) is a systematic approach in which the series of changes that occurs through the inception point, design to the ultimate disposal point of the product. PLM integrates the data at different levels of processes of the product through which it provides useful information to the manufacturing enterprise for its future extended purpose.

Due to the presence of many new team members, all the deliverables needs to be reviewed and tested thoroughly. In order to achieve this, a dedicated testing team will be included in each module.

Approximately, 15 years ago, the company started to develop software in-house in order to manage the ins and outs of order managment and moving fresh produce around the world. It has evolved into a sophisticated ERP (enterprise and resource planning) system that offers in itself as a business opportunity.
