Practical and Pragmatic views on Enterprise Architecture by Owen Pettiford. Thursday, October 18, 2007. And You Thought Galaxy was Chocolate Bar.but it is a new BPM Tool from SAP.

Having just wasted another 8 hours of my life getting a 1-2 year old Windows Operating System to perform at anything like an acceptable level I am convinced that Bill Gates should be ashamed of what he has launched on the world.

I have found that it is a great desire of people within IT to try to find a one size fits all approach to innovation management.

Taking these concepts to enterprise SOA means we can relax the controls of some of t...

Pragmatic Architecture: 3rd World IT
http://pettiford.blogspot.com/2012/03/3rd-world-it.html
Practical and Pragmatic views on Enterprise Architecture by Owen Pettiford. Tuesday, March 27, 2012. Have you ever wondered why some companies find it really hard to adopt new stuff and others seem to eat it up. I think it could be similar to the discussions that some people have about why 3rd world countries can't just up and become first world over night. For a country to make this move they have to have certain things in place that can take years to achieve. These would include :. It is one thing to h...

Practical and Pragmatic views on Enterprise Architecture by Owen Pettiford. Tuesday, November 13, 2012. Snake Oil or Wonder Drug - The art of the possible in SAP. Today is the first day of SAPPHIRE / TechEd in Madrid. And the key note was full of how IT could be with the help of SAP. I was also lucky enough to attend TechEd in Las Vegas where the message was similar if somewhat biased towards how SAP HANA. Now I can see how this " Nexus of Forces. Do you turbo charge with SAP HANA. 1) It's all snake oil.

Practical and Pragmatic views on Enterprise Architecture by Owen Pettiford. Friday, October 10, 2008. Complexity vs Lack of Experience / Expertise – will it kill SOA? I have come across many people who talk about IT systems becoming too complex with too many moving parts. I believe that this is usually an excuse for lack of Experience / Expertise. Think about the first time you drove a car.did it seem simple or complex? Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). I am the founder of CompriseIT. View my complete profile.
