  26. The Development Strategy : A Component Architecture This development strategy consists in developing, using J2EE technology, business components covering both new and existing specific functionalities, including Triple’A . These components can be provided and seamlessly implemented as combination, or implemented independently.

  35. How to Address the Issues of the Component Architecture ? • Issues • Todays PMS WUI & Server limited functional coverage (compared to TA) • Limited Customisation Tools (WUI/ Rules) • More Complex Architecture • Solutions • Triple’A FS Componentisation • Extended WUI Functionalities (incl. dhtml, Flash, Swing, …) • Investment in Parametrization & Customisation Tools • Investment in Packaging & Administration Console

  36. Triple’A Componentization : What Does It Mean ?

  39. Agenda • Corporate presentation • Product strategy • Roll out considerations

Delivery Definition Development Beta support R&D Documentation Impact analysis : Spec review / Beta test case creation Skills requirements definition & gaps Training plan Training received from R&D Client Beta site support or Internal beta SO Develop/update implementation methodology (incl. Training plan) PSS Resource plan Trainings execution Client Beta management BSM Specs validation Test cases validation Documentation validation Early validation of software delivery Beta support Sales Beta/Pilot site selection Active account mgt Commercial release Program management Release content definition Release Beta Release management process

  41. Option 1 (preferred) – Client Beta site Client Beta phase Alpha phase Training Beta teams Internal beta phase (Rollout team) Methodology update/creation & training plan ( Rollout team) Beta release Commercial release Option 2 – No client beta site Internal beta phase Pilot Implementation Alpha phase Training Beta teams Methodology update/creation & training plan ( Rollout team) Beta release Commercial release 1 to 3 MONTHS Release management process

  42. Other roll out considerations • Impact on sales • Impact on services (implementations) • Impact on R&D

  43. Impact on Sales • Be aware of the product strategy • Set up a migration plan for existing clients base • 85 sites • GUI, TASC, components sites • Be aware of possible migration options for clients • Avoid multiple migrations • Who finances migration costs ? • Minimize migration costs thanks to customization or migration tools

  44. Impact on Services • Change in skills requirements • High value consulting • Java development skills • Use of web based customization tools (layout designer, workflow, pageflow, java scripting langage) • Technical skills (integration, messaging, performance, etc…) • Get configuration tools is critical • Standard architecture makes outsourcing of services to third parties easier • Trainings, recruiting, subcontracting needs • Helpdesk must be able to support clients and implementation teams

  45. Impact on R&D • Doubling of development effort (on old financal servers and on components) • Multiple configurations to manage • Review of development tools and methodologies • Review of testing methodologies
