VCOS–
An Integrated Management Solution for Business Agility
|
|
| |
| |
VCOS
is a solution to application integration. Unlike toolsets,
a solution is a system whereby there are clearly defined
relationship between real world events and data entered
into the system in accordance with a formalized process.
VCOS is a complete solution in that it supports the automation
of tasks related to integrated applications throughout
the entire life cycle of the application from its creation
through its operations and across changes in functionality
and new technologies.
|
VCOS has the ability to orchestrate the
actions of the various individuals in the organization
into a single directed force for integrated applications
by forming a computerized system around which the people
work in a systematic and enforced/ verifiable standard
manner. GUI driven integration, as opposed to programmatic
methods, is used.
It is not a system for business end users (although they
are the ultimate beneficiary), but one for the IT organization,
particularly the application developers who are ultimately
responsible for creation and maintenance of integrated
applications. The other parts of the IT organization
(e.g. operations, security, technology, network etc) are
also supported for their role in integrated applications
through VCOS functions to ensure a seamless, automated
system spanning the entire spectrum of tasks involved
in integrated applications. VCOS is not an application
development system, it does not create business logic,
and neither does it generate application code (and hence
it is not CASE either). In any part of the entire project
process, there are two distinct types of work: Localized
business logic for the component and integration logic
and functions with other components in the integrated
application. Integration logic/ functions permeates through
each segment of a typical project. It is this integration
logic / functions that VCOS computerizes. VCOS has removed
the need for programming in this area and replaced it
with GUI functions, which seamlessly flows from one stage
of the project to the next. With VCOS, tasks are clearly
defined (they are now VCOS actions) and hence measurable
and manageable. Deliverables are now clearly defined (they
are VCOS entities) and clearly understood by all in the
collective, removing most ambiguities. The end result,
the integrated application, is now clearly defined and
maintainable. |
