The Yin-Yang is a well-known concept in Chinese philosophy that represents interdependence of opposite forces of nature. Ideally, these two forces will complement each-other, building a perfect harmony. Similar forces exist in business.

How to Measure Performance and Quality of development process. The main challenge of measuring the pace of delivery is that each project has unique set of parameters: complex vs simple, agile vs. waterfall, Java vs. SQL, mobile vs. server, etc. The paper proposes a metric that is based entirely on data collected through time reports.

There are two aspects of global applications: internationalization and localization. Both are important, but they are serving different purposes. Global application must implement both of these aspects.

This white paper proposes using NoSQL database and Data Bus pattern for advanced data caching. The Data Factory is a unique SOA component that provides flexibility and ensures high level of performance. There is an opportunity to improve it further by making it faster and more flexible.

Systems engineering is an interdisciplinary approach that evolves into integrated and life cycle balanced set of systems, people, products, and process solutions that satisfy customer needs. Business to architecture traceability (B2AT) is a systems engineering pattern for creating and managing relationships between functional and technical aspects of information systems and applications.

Any software development organization operates three major components: an intellectual capital, software, and source code. The source code is a liability that is responsible for most of operating expenses.

The paper provides an elementary overview of SAP R/3. The knowledge in this paper should allow a System Engineer to be able to ask the intelligent questions and identify gaps and issues in requirements, interfaces and operational aspects of the project.
