• The third level of maturity is “componentized” where the integration is functional integration. Here the organization will consider component based architecture where major part of applications are component based development instead of methods. Here the components and services of different products are realized and transformations from older systems to new systems with clear component boundaries. In this level the gap between business and technology is reduced and corporate level support for service oriented architecture principles is observed. • The fourth level of maturity is “simple services” where the organization is in early stages of adopting service oriented architecture. In this level the form of integration is process integration where web services will be introduced internally within the organization or externally. Here the business view of it company will change from functional oriented to service oriented. Enterprise service bus is used to integrate services for multiple applications within or outside the organization. • The fifth maturity level of service integration maturity model is “composite services” where supply chain integration is the form of integration. In this level the concentration is on the support which services provide for value chains. The connection between business Processes and services is considered as an important aspect. This level is like the first practical service oriented architecture level where the services form contracts and interact on demand. • The sixth level is called “virtualized services”, where the integration form is virtual infrastructure. In this level the organization creates virtual services by separating applications from services. At this level there will be many change... ... middle of paper ... ...ll prove to be handy. The company 1 is at stage 5 of SIMM and company 2 is at stage 1 of the SOAMM by this information we can map the progress of both the companies on CSOAMM at level 4 and level 1 respectively. From here the company can plan and go ahead to reach the targeted stage. 7 Future work In future we would we working on the standardization of the Service oriented architecture maturity model and also validate the results obtained by our research by reaching the authors of the two models i.e. SOAMM and SIMM. We will also work on optimizing the results as the question of how many levels should be incorporated in maturity models is still solved. This research can be seen as more of a literature a literature survey and theoretical work which require validation. Another interesting work to carry forward would be compare these models with other models like CMMI.
The project will bring several changes to the company; it will first expand the current physical IT environment. It will provide the ability to increase the storage capacity of the current storage requirement and expected growth of data, while establishing a new data warehouse and business analytics applications and user interfaces. The project will also improve security by establishing security policies and it will leverage newer cloud based technology to provide a highly redundant, flexible and scalable IT environment while also allowing the ability to establish a low cost disaster recovery site.
Stage 3 involves creating an Architectural Model version of the whole system including sub systems. A Viewpoint Hierarchy shows a skeleton version of the system which can be ins...

All Modern IT departments of any size need to do more with less, even as expectations for greater IT service responsiveness to innovativeness demands rise. In addition, the IT departments face increasing challenges with dealing with increased scrutiny to comply with new requirement for the ITIL evaluation model. The following chapter will outline the aim of this project to which aimed at evaluating SAGE IRELAND Service Desk. A number of specific objectives will be examined to present the reader with an understanding of the SAGE IRELAND Service Desk software; it’s compliance to the ITIL evaluation model, how the knowledge gained is used to optimise and improve the service and what impact it has on the company and its customers. The aims and objectives of this project will be described and stated.
In the 1960s through the 1970s, companies realized strong engineering, design, and manufacturing functions were strong market strategy keys to create and capture customer loyalty. As the demand for new products rose in the 1980s, these market requirements were to increase their flexibility and responsiveness to adapt existing products and processes or to develop new ones in order to meet customer needs. As manufacturing improved in the 1990s, managers began noticing material and service inputs involving suppliers and their major impact on an organization’s ability to meet customer needs. As a result of these changes, organizations now find that it difficult to manage their own organizations. First, they must be involved in the management of their network of all upstream firms that provide directly or indirectly, as well as the network of downstream firms, which are responsible for delivery and market service of the product to the end customer.
Through these functions, the ICS establishes generic processes, procedures and systems to “improve interoperability” between different departments (“NIMS”, 2004). Further, because it is scal...
It is a step of defining the goals of the projects and the results are aimed at reaching certain levels of productivity of customer satisfaction. The second stage is measure, and it is the stage of collecting data and facts and evaluating current operational performance. The third stage is analyze with the purpose of developing methods and theories that will best suit the solving of the problem; it is also a stage of detecting cause-and-effect ties of the processes. The fourth stage is improve, it is aimed at generating ideas for reaching the desired process improvement. Finally, there is the control stage that is about monitoring the operations to find out whether the process of improvement is smooth and the problems were solved (Meredith & Shafer,

The system development life cycle, also know as the SDLC, is the process of designing and developing a system or software to meet certain requirements. (“System development life,”). This cycle involves many different phases, in which the system is planned, analyzed, designed, implemented, and tested. There are five major phases in the system development life cycle: systems planning, systems analysis, systems design, systems implementation, and systems security and support. Each of these phases has a particular responsibility and certain tasks are perfumed in each phase.
Supply chain management has been defined as that process that involves the management of information, materials, and all the finances that are handled within and across the entire supply chain process (Christopher, 2016). The management is usually done through out the entire supply chain management from that moment when the suppliers are involved through all the manufacturing activities, different distribution activities, and the way that the products are served to the final product consumer (Turban, et al., 2002). The process also includes all the activities that different organizations offers to their customers as after sale services for purposes perfecting their services and products towards their highly valued customers (Christopher,
Within the analysis phase a set of goals are needed within the domain. From this there are three perspectives which are taken; the object model the Ronald LeRoi Burback (1998) states “dynamic model, and a functional model. The object model represents the artifacts of the system. The dynamic model represents the interaction between these artifacts represented as events, states, and transitions. The functional model represents the methods of the system from the perspective of data flow.” After the analysis phase the system design phase takes place. Here the system is sub-categorized and appointed tasks and persistent data storage is established, also within this phase the architecture is formed. Lastly the object design phase starts and is where the implementation plan is established and algorithms and object classes are also
In past few years, companies and industries of various sizes have become aware that they need to improve business processes such as product development, order fulfilment, planning, distribution, and customer service. So everybody is now focusing on doing process improvement or redesigning.
The most important value of BPM is transparency over the business. Transparency means obtaining a deep understanding of how the organization works which enables us to manage the complexity of organization effectively [11]. Business process models enables the process practitioners to achieve this by documenting: control flow (i.e., what we need to do and when), artefacts (i.e., what we need to work on either physical or electronic), and resources (i.e., who does the work either humans
... livelihood of the organization and understanding the role and place of each aspect is crucial. Realizing there are industry standards for modeling and diagramming help keep all stakeholders on the same project page. Proper use and approach of OLAP is key along with the setup and utilization of data warehouses and marts. Finally there is the architecture you use to tie it all together. Each area builds upon the other and is successive steps in the stages of the Systems Development Life Cycle. Although each is different, they all share a common interest. This interest is to work together to complete a whole data system that the entire corporation can use effectively and enjoy.
META Group considers enterprise architecture as a process as opposed to an object, thereby referring to it as enterprise architecture process. Its enterprise architecture describes the systematic linkages between the enterprise business, technical architectures, information and enterprise solution architecture. It has modified the traditional enterprise architecture in a manner that extends from the level of business strate...
