What does an effective Enterprise Architecture Program look like when implemented? - 1 views

  •  
    Today's Business/IT Environment for medium and large corporations can often be characterized as: An IT environment that is highly complex & costly - organizations were spending more and more money extending, enhancing, and maintaining existing IT systems and services Ineffective business alignment - organizations were finding it more and more difficult to keep their increasingly expensive IT systems aligned with business needs and drive the level of innovation required to grow the business
  •  
    An effective Enterprise Architecture (EA) Program can deliver significant benefits to an organization including: Reduced cost to maintain existing IT systems by reducing the number of technologies in operation (lower the cost of maintenance and training) as well as increasing the utilization of IT assets Reduced time to bring new business products/services to the market by enabling the re-use of Business and IT services Increased effectiveness of IT resources (capacity planning, solution teams) including increased efficiency of operation (design for change) Increased effectiveness of Business resources by providing information and support for decision making (triggers points) and enabling impact analysis (reduce technology risk) Reduce the all-to-often "firedrills" that divert focus from business imperatives

8 SOA mistakes architects should avoid - 0 views

  • 8 SOA mistakes architects should avoid
  •  
    A pessimistic approach towards SOA seems to prevail in some blogs. But these opinions strike me by surprise. In the industries I am working for - public sector, healthcare and Defense/ public security - SOA is predominant and you will find only rare examples of tenders where SOA is not highlighted as the guiding principle for the whole architecture. SAP's CTO Vishal Sikka has already provided the community with some very helpful insights concerning these discussions. I just want to add some points from an architect's point of view: From my point of view it is not the SOA approach itself which should be questioned but the way how we architects sometimes work on SOA. Some of the mistakes that are listed below I have encountered during my SOA projects. Others are based on discussions with other architects and decision makers inside and outside SAP, from customers and from partners. My intention is simple: I want to help to avoid these mistakes in the future and to strengthen the SOA approach which is for me without an alternative.

  • A story about Twitter, XML and WD4A
  •  
    Epilog Like many of us, I'm a kind of addicted to Twitter. But a few weeks ago, the admins of my client cuts the connection to Twitter and all of the known anonymanizers like "agentanon". My hands began to tremble, my work became poorer and poorer (just a joke!). Two lucky circumstances: * first free weekend since many month * my SAP PRD server is already up and connected to the internet, because I have a presentation on Monday Why don't turn a problem into a challenge and develop my own "ABAP twitter client" ?

The Word As We Knew It - 0 views

  •  
    The internet and it's unique ability to rapidly share information across the planet has created a sort of 'hot-bed' for the evolution of language. New phrases, words, acronyms and slangs have been given the ability to virally evolve and disseminate to new populations within a matter of days. Definitions are born, morph, and die based on the evolving collective consciousness of humanity.

Forget the Conventional Lock and Key and Shift to Biometric Access Control - 1 views

  •  
    Are you among the people who lock your door with a hard metal lock and carry the key with you? You constantly worry whether it is still with you or not! If a legitimate element wants to enter the premise, they will have to wait until you return. Hassles involved in this traditional door lock system are immense.

Windows 7's XP Mode and Security - 0 views

  • For business users who skipped Windows Vista, Windows 7's newly announced Windows XP Mode (XPM) must be intriguing. Yes, you will have to cough up some serious money for new hardware and software, but the really scary and disruptive stuff—whether your old software will work—is far less of an issue than it used to be.
    • John Lundin
       
      ...Tell me again why I want to upgrade to Vista or Windows7...?
  • I hope the crossover problems never materialize and that XP users take the opportunity to move on to modern software.
    • John Lundin
       
      Hoping is one thing... upgrading for today's SMB is entirely different. The risk, cost, disruption, aggravation of this upgrade is not justified by the benefits... I continue to experiment with the newer OSes, but all my professional production is done on XP... and I continue to tell my clients to wait for a *real* reason to wanna change... Change is painful!!

Why Microsoft Windows 7 XP Mode Is a Major Advancement - 0 views

  • free of charge to Windows 7 Professional, Enterprise and Ultimate users
    • John Lundin
       
      ...so, it is not really "free"... you gotta have a top tier W7 edition... again this hits the budget-minded XP user hard.
  • Even hardware that works with older operating systems and won't work with Windows 7 will work with Windows XP mode. It's a major advancement
    • John Lundin
       
      ...let me see if I have this right... the XP mode will run on hardware that W7 won't run on... then how the hell do you install W7 to get the XP mode?
  • With XP Mode installed, users will never need to worry about the compatibility of their software or accessories again -- everything will work.
    • John Lundin
       
      will work... provided you have a PC with the horsepower to run both W7 and XP mode... so will just leaving XP as your OS.
  • ...1 more annotation...
  • application released for a Windows operating system over the past decade will work with Windows 7
    • John Lundin
       
      ...but not every PC manufactured in the past decade will be able to run W7... so budget wise, I gotta buy W7 *and* a new PC to run my XP apps. I don't see a need to change (other than to build MSFT's coffers... and that is not one of my business objectives).

Windows 7: Say Goodbye to XP Downgrades - Microsoft - 0 views

  • More often than not in business deployments, one of the first things done with a new PC is to downgrade from Windows Vista to the more popular Windows XP
    • John Lundin
       
      ...and this doesn't send a message about the platform component of architecture to MSFT?
  • running XP as a primary operating system opens a system up to security ills
    • John Lundin
       
      ...and these would be....?
  • A word of warning: Anyone looking to run Windows 7 XP Mode should make sure that their CPU supports virtualization
  • ...2 more annotations...
  • the systems available today feature CPUs that support AMD-V or Intel VT virtualization
    • John Lundin
       
      ...so buy a new license and buy a new computer... this is getting kinda expensive compared to 'keep my old machine and run my app'...
  • Windows 7 XP Mode, Microsoft is clearly on the right path to reduce the need for Vista or XP on new systems. With some bug fixes and polishing, XP Mode can be a viable alternative to virtualized versions of XP on other platforms
    • John Lundin
       
      ...this is beginning to sound like the Intel Itanium processor (remember the x86 virtual mode?)... only on the OS side. This repackage of Vista with is only compelling if there are critical appls that operate under the 'new & improved' platform... so far all I see is the "new"...

Windows XP to Windows 7: It's Going to Be a Bumpy Ride - Columns by PC Magazine - 0 views

    • John Lundin
       
      NO upgrade path from XP to W7???...and this is supposed to encourage XP users to upgrade to W7? It really gives those organizations looking at other OSes the time and motivation to switch to LINUX.
  • XP may be an old OS but it's widely used. Consumers, in particular, will be squeamish about installing a completely new OS. I think the word of mouth about Win 7 is so good—and rightly so—that users will finally want to upgrade. However, when they hear that they have to replace their operating system and, ostensibly, rebuild their relatively new PCs, they could balk.
    • John Lundin
       
      The users that have the W7 upgrade option from XP (lose everything and install a new OS) *will* balk at the option!
  • Microsoft is also ignoring the countless businesses that stuck with XP
  • ...3 more annotations...
  • My IT department, like so many others, wanted nothing to do with Vista, or the headaches they assumed they'd encounter. Microsoft needs companies to feel comfortable about switching to Win 7. If they can't upgrade from the OS most are using, they'll wait, too.
  • this Microsoft strategy will certainly scare off many XP users who were considering an upgrade
  • wondering why they'd do anything to harm its chances in the marketplace

Verified PayPal Accounts For Sale -USA - 0 views

  •  
    The advantages and disadvantages of purchasing a verified paypal account should be carefully considered before making a decision. While buying an already verified account provides instant access to all of paypal's features, saving time and building trust with buyers, the risks involved in terms of potential scams and the added cost may outweigh the benefits. It's best to weigh the pros and cons and determine if a verified paypal account is worth the investment.
