SOA And Workflow Integration

Content Workflow SOA becomes even more important when the organisation s wider workflows are considered. The management of content media does not begin with production or ingest. It starts with commissioning or purchase of rights. Thus managing media preparation crosses systems

Planning: Comments Scrum teams will be established The prioritising of the services and iterations will be based on: The key priorities of our clients How Harris can add value with new features Can we complete system verticals so that some users are working in the new UI only? This planning phase is client-dialog driven essential to get the schedule established correctly. New-technology releases will be coordinated with std releases

Engagement and Pragmatism We do not merely want to replicate all current functionality: Is any functionality superfluous? Have we added too much functionality? Reconciling product differences Establish a Client Advisory Board: Representative from each client ideally Negotiating and Discussion: timing for deliveries (e.g. production amortisation) Pragmatism: knowing what is NOT feasible to do.

Our Request to You Be involved Work with us on the timing of required enhancements if feasible Join the advisory board Decisions about optimising the system Deciding what matters

Functional Design Topics

Unified or Multiple Schedule? SALES PLAN SCHEDULE

Unified or Multiple Schedule?

What about the User Interface?

UI Decisions to be Made Acceptability of current and new UI being in place at the same time. Should our applications be entirely web-based? Will you have remote users doing standard applications? Approach to Windows 8 The need for Mac support Are you considering a cloud-based operation? What about tablets and phones? What sort of functionality would be useful?
