Should I wait for Windows 8? No. No. and No!

Should I wait for Windows 8? No. No. and No! Conclusion: Organisations that are still running Windows XP fleets are debating holding off a desktop refresh (to Windows 7) until Windows 8 becomes available. There are three key considerations to this discussion: product functionality,...

Transitioning to Model Driven Software Development

Analyst: Jorn Bettin Date: 2006-04-28

It is time for a major stock-take of model driven software development approaches within software intensive industries. Progress in the last few years in terms of developing interoperability standards for model driven tooling has not been spectacular. The term "Model Driven Architecture" has gone through the usual hype cycle, and the dust is in the process of settling. Model Driven...

Scaling up Agile Software Project Management

Analyst: Jorn Bettin Date: 2006-03-28

Over the last five years agile software development approaches have become more popular, and are increasingly replacing heavy-handed methodologies. At the same time there is a growing interest in benchmarking the productivity of software projects, and in achieving process maturity that can be measured against certification standards such as CMMI. At first sight it would seem that these...

Open Source Software Development Tooling

Analyst: Jorn Bettin Date: 2006-02-28

Open Source Software Development Tools are becoming mainstream. In the Java space, the number of available tools is mindboggling, and keeping up with the latest developments is becoming more and more a matter of being well-connected to the Open Source community and receiving tips and suggestions from trusted colleagues about the best and latest tools. It is no longer true that it is sufficient...

Understanding Model Driven Approaches to Software Development

Analyst: Jorn Bettin Date: 2006-01-28

Within the software engineering community only few people fully understand the difference between the traditional use of models in software engineering, and newer so called "model-driven" approaches. In particular the discipline of Enterprise Architecture makes extensive use of modeling techniques, and mainstream practice has not yet caught up with the model-driven approaches that are ...

The Next Generation CRM Paradigm

Analyst: Jorn Bettin Date: 2005-11-28

The rising popularity of online business networking platforms, sometimes also referred to as social software, is the first sign that the traditional CRM paradigm that equates to "one CRM system instance for each organisation" has reached the limits of its usefulness. The players that shape a new, complementary CRM paradigm exploit pervasive use of broadband and wireless internet...

Maximising the Mileage of Software Development

Analyst: Jorn Bettin Date: 2005-10-28

Practical experience shows that software development initiatives usually entail high risks for the customer and the software developer. In anticipation of the risks both parties attempt to mitigate the impact, the customer often insists on a fixed price, and the software developer consequently builds contingency into the fixed price. This simplistic mitigation strategy rarely works. Successful...

How to approach Service Oriented Architecture (SOA)

Analyst: Jorn Bettin Date: 2005-09-28

SOA is an increasingly common TLA (three letter acronym), and is often thought of as a new technology - and equated with Web Services. This does injustice to Service Oriented Architecture, a new software design concept that emerged from the need to easily integrate web based applications independent of their implementation technology. Hence the adoption of SOA is not about migrating to yet...

Managing Complexity in Application Software

Analyst: Jorn Bettin Date: 2005-08-28

It is easy for software development teams to be preoccupied with, and to get lost in low level design. The simplest preventative measure to curb spurious complexity, without being prescriptive at the micro-level, is to consistently make use of a nested subsystem structure within the system architecture. The result is an architecture with fewer point-to-point interfaces. This strategy ...

The role of Open Source software in building durable Enterprise Architectures

Analyst: Jorn Bettin Date: 2005-07-28

When it comes to design and implementation of an Enterprise Architecture, traditionally the key decisions regarding software systems have been around building vs. buying, and vendor selections based on criteria derived from business requirements. In the last five years however, many Open Source infrastructure software offerings have matured to the point of being rated best-in-class...
