Visualize: The software visualization newsletter


iRise for SAP Web Seminar:

Learn how "iRise for SAP" is used to visualize extensions to SAP

More companies bet their business on SAP than any other application solution. At the beginning of most SAP projects, the initial goal is to implement SAP "out of the box" in order to avoid costly extensions. Inevitably, gaps emerge during the blueprint phase of these projects and SAP must be extended in order to meet the needs of the business, yet documenting business needs with text, use cases and static screen shots often leads to delay and cost overruns.

iRise has been working with our customers to develop a new product called "iRise for SAP". It is the world’s only solution for visualizing and fully experiencing extensions to SAP before coding, which cuts project cost, accelerates delivery and takes the risk out of global sourcing for getting mission-critical SAP applications delivered.

Join iRise CEO Emmet B. Keeffe III in this online discussion that will include:

  • Extending SAP: the challenges
  • What is visualization?
  • How does visualization work on SAP projects?
  • Customer case studies
  • iRise for SAP demonstration
The web seminar will take place September 18 at 10:00am PDT. Click here for more information and to register.

Web Seminar Series

Ivar Jacobson Logo Ivar Jacobson International Presents: A Roadmap for Building the Right Solution
Many teams jump straight to defining requirements without really understanding the context for the solution and the business problems that need to be solved. To help provide better solutions, Kurt Bittner provides a webcast where you will discover the issues associated with problem identification, analysis and explore how to better connect to traditional requirements approaches. Learn how to attain a real understanding of the needs of stakeholders and examine the desired outcomes for defining software requirements. This presentation uses a consistent example throughout to clearly explain techniques that can be used by any team to improve their understanding of the real needs of stakeholders. The result is fewer false starts and improved quality of delivered applications.

Don't miss this valuable online web seminar sponsored by iRise and featuring one of the industry's leading experts improving the software development process: Ivar Jacobson International. Ivar Jacobson International provides first class services that include training and mentoring, providing practical help to organizations that wish to improve their software development process. Leading the team is Dr. Ivar Jacobson, who is a father of components and component architecture, use cases, modern business engineering, the Unified Modeling Language and the Unified Process.
