For a methodical and holistic approach to be effective, it must accomplish four major objectives: |
|
It must enable faster development of new applications and quicker modification of existing ones, as business needs and application requirement change. Application design must be modular. Specifically, the new designs must reflect distributed and de-coupled applications components that represent business processes, to facilitate reuse and shorter development life cycles. |
It must define operations and business priorities. Technology investments must be directed into areas that will give measurable improvement in business operations. In particular the new designs must reflect openness, to facilitate seamless implementation of new business processes and the creation of innovative service delivery tools. |
|
It must simplify the support of operations, so those technical infrastructures can be reliably and efficiently managed. The new architecture will define appropriate technology “open standards”. As a result, old and new systems will collaborate with each other, and promote reusability of system components on an enterprise-wide scale, which will enable managing the infrastructure in a cost-effective manner. |
It must enable business units to continue to capitalize on existing investments in systems and technology, as appropriate, while enabling pervasive systems implementation. New applications and enhancement to existing systems will be built in accordance to the accepted “open standards”, reusable components and an FSOA. |
|
New systems development must accommodate the rapid rates of change in the business and technical environment. RKTEK’s approach is service-oriented. Service-oriented systems inherently promote reusability and easier modifications to accommodate changes in the business processes they support. The technical views of our modeling approach define the guidelines and standards enabling Government Agencies to implement and take advantage of Service Oriented systems. Business and Object Models serves as the primary representation of the system under development. Consequently, the visual aids deployed, to represent the system, play an essential role in sharpening the ideas and views being communicated among the stakeholders. At RKTEK we take pride in being capable of developing robust formal system models. |
