AmSoft's How To Solve IT

AmSoft's How To Solve IT methodology and RSFs result in quick turnaround time, minimize execution risk and lower the Total cost of Ownership of an IT solution. RSFs judiciously deploy innovative and proven Open Source technologies to reduce the TCO and architectural complexity of the solution. The components contained within each RSF can be configured rapidly to meet the specific needs of your business process owners using our proven How To Solve IT methodology.

STEP 01
Instead of starting from scratch, we start with an RSF - a Reference Solution Framework that prototypes a solution for your specific problem

STEP 02
AmSoft uses its visual WfXML toolkit to customize the RSF by interactively defining your workflows – Events, Conditions & Actions for each Role

STEP 03
This teamwork process results in a 3 –tier Target Architecture definition complete with Back-end services, Business Objects & Front-ends captured as UML & virtualized as a prototype for immediate validation & buy-in

STEP 04
Trade-off Analysis is then conducted using our balanced Scorecard toolkit to evaluate Buy-Build-Reuse options for each of the Target Architecture components Objectively

STEP 05
The choices you make to buy-build-reuse are then prototyped into the RSF to convert it into an Advanced proof-of-Concept of the Target Solution

STEP 06
Deliverables of How to Solve IT – Target Solution Prototype, its Specification as UML and Articulation as RFP, Solution Scenarios for implementation & a holistic Scorecard

Illustrates key workflows in a RSF through Enterprise value-chains, processes & scenarios
Provides a web services based collection of open standards components that are configured together using a SOA model
Allows customers to select each component through rational trade-off analysis. Each selected component can be rapidly customized using the Web Services virtualization Toolkit
Transforms the RSF into your Target Solution Architecture

Target Solution Prototype
Specification as Unified Modeling Language (UML) and Articulation as Request for Proposal (RFP)
Solution Scenarios for implementation & a logical Scorecard

Reduces Time-To-Market - Industry-specific RSF provides you a running start on the Solution Design thereby hastening your time-to-market.
Bridge Communication gaps - Proven holistic design methodology facilitates organizational alignment & commitment through well-defined, role-based workflow, Event-Condition-Action and value-chain analyses to define/customize the Target Architecture.
Optimizes Risk & Investment - Robust trade-off analysis (buy-build-reuse) for solution development frameworks using a Balanced Performance Scorecard with objective definitions ensures optimization of risk, time & investment.
WYSIWYG - Immediate virtualization offered by advance proof-of-concept creation (by customizing RSF), eliminates misunderstanding of solution capabilities and facilitates rapid target solution deployment.
