  1. Catalyst for software success™ BEAM™ Overview

  2. Most software projects fail for two reasons: • Inaccurate, inflexible design • Users uninvolved • Users overly-influential • Communication gap between users and designers • Undisciplined development • Redundant coding • Inconsistent coding • Difficult maintenance.

  3. Ideal Systems: Catalyst for software success™ • BEAM™ Training – Design it right • Common language for users and developers • Understandable and verifiable by users • Disciplined, consistent, flexible for developers • zTools™ Technology – Build it right • Minimal coding • Consistent methodology • Simple application maintenance.

  4. Design Your “Dream Home” • Roles • Owner • Architect • Builder • Tools • Conversations • Drawings • Models • Floor Plans • Blueprints.

  5. Design Your “Dream Application” • Roles • Owner → User • Architect → Designer • Builder → Developer • Tools • Conversations → Interviews • Drawings → UI Mock-Ups • Models → Data Models • Floor Plans → Diagrams • Blueprints → Scripts.

  6. BEAM: Business Events Analysis & Modeling™ • Discuss • Casual yet focused interview method • Common, natural language • Design • Precise, disciplined results • Verified with representative samples • Document • BEAM Application model (DB & UI) • BEST Diagram (event flow & scope) • SQL Scripts (schema & metadata).

  7. BEAM Courses • BEAM Introduction • BEAM Basics • BEAM TSS (Transaction Support Systems) • BEAM DSS (Decision Support Systems).

  8. BEAM Introduction (0.5 days) • Essential for everyone • No prerequisites • Fundamental concepts • Common design language • Interviewing methodology • Basic application models.

  9. BEAM Basics (1.5 days) • For power users, designers & developers • Requires BEAM Introduction • Special design cases • Numerous reinforcing exercises • Leverages BEST diagrams.

  10. BEAM TSS (2.0 days) • For TSS designers & developers • Requires BEAM Introduction & Basics • Unique TSS design challenges • Advanced specifications • Script and generate schema & metadata.

  11. BEAM DSS (2.0 days) • For DSS designers & developers • Requires BEAM Introduction & Basics • Unique DSS design challenges • Advanced specifications • Data warehousing concepts.

  12. BEAM Benefits • Promotes user “buy-in” • Efficient, practical process • Clear, precise communication • Easy to understand and verify • Provides fresh perspectives • Flexible enough for any industry • Platform-independent DB & UI models • Flows seamlessly into zTools apps.

  13. Why settle for anything less than ideal?
