Computer
technology has been fueled by Moore's Law. From fundamental capabilities and
basic capacities the law propelled the
growth of information technology. Beginning with the technology advances of integrated circuits these translated
to higher level devices and delivery
peripherals, leading to the
building of standalone systems.
From
the building blocks to components, then to systems and onto the future -
global projects. Today the emphasis is on
integrating systems into extended enterprises. Beyond that, the next generation of product
offerings will be the development, delivery and execution of missions within the extended
enterprise. Such deployments would encompass outsourcing, off-shore strategies, with the integration to hosted enterprise software that faciliates such plans.
Missions
are specific concepts that require non-technical and technology related, integration of methods and processes. A service or project mission forms part of
the overall extended enterprise but enforces specific and critical requirements and overall concepts - the
development and execution of this concept belongs to the
extended enterprise and utilizes the whole to achieve the objective.
Enterprise
Service and Project Missions are complex entities. The complexity begins with the software and
business processes, specifications, the
architecture and design required to
achieve its objectives. Additionally non-technology processes are
integrated and is a crucial component of the overall.
Once
defined, the mission is built, executed and the objective is attained.
The
organizational structure that defines the mission differs from existing
management and executive organization charts. In a
war the 5-star General is in charge. In
the future, the Technology & Process Builders will be in charge. The
General reports to them.
The
Intraclient Waterford College of English Studies is a mission.
The
Rolling Stones concerts is a mission.
The
Iraqi war is a mission.
Doom
can be recreated as a mission.
A
mission is a large scale technological deployment of a complex product or space that is
occupied by an enterprise and makes up a major portion of
corporate revenues. .
Common
Characteristics of Missions
1.Architectural
Complexity and Process Conceptualization
2.
Concurrent processing (hardware & software)
3.
Contention for shared resources (CPU, memory, channels, disk, etc)
4.
Dynamic interactions and integration between technology basedl and manual
subsystems, methods and modes.
5.
Performance dictated by channel protocols.
6.
Complex Functionality
7.
Validation of complex algorithms and protocols.
8.
Quantitative and qualitative performance indicators.
The
Solution comprises of an
integrated
approach for hardware, software and manual based infrastructures and the development of the operational environment using
channel models, shared resources and
concurrent processes. The architecture
is built for transaction workloads and future generation system design needs. This is a total integration
approach combining manual resources and technology, methods and processes combining to form a joint and
single approach with management of that approach.
The systems are developed with the necessary overall conceptualization,
algorithms, protocols and controls to gain advantage over competitors and to
secure and achieve the objective. To
calculate progress, behavioral and performance analysis is built into the
process. The design specification calls for all these as an executable integrated
specification of the various components and
interfaces.
