Disclosed are assessment tools and related methods for analyzing potential transformations to a business' IT capabilities. In particular, a tool for scoping the potential opportunity incorporating a top-down approach and using previous credentials to make accurate estimations is disclosed. Additionally, a shaping tool employs a bottom-up approach to the assessment based upon more highly-detailed information of the structure of the IT department. Each tool also automatically calculates typical indices for evaluation of the business case of the IT transformation. Optionally, the tools are integrated, and also can automatically generate a business case presentation or a detailed analysis of all data involved in the assessment.

The invention discloses a cooperative method between networks, cooperative node and network side equipment. The method comprises the following steps: obtaining state information of districts of different standards, wherein, the state information expresses at least one of wireless resource state, terminal distribution and business case of district of different standards; according to the state information, sending cooperative indication information for the base station or base station controller of districts of different standards, thereby the base station or the base station controller can carry out cooperative method between networks according to the cooperative indication information. The cooperative method between networks, cooperative node and network side equipment of the embodiment can maximize wireless network resource utilization rate, so as to promote network performances.

Financial transformation in one aspect establishes a hub and spoke network of models including at least a process model as the hub and at least components model, value driver model, applications model, solutions models as the spoke connected to the process model. A plurality of correlations is inferred among said models using daisy-chain analyses that navigate the hub and spoke network of models, and heat map is generated. Heat map analysis, application shortfall analysis, organization shortfall analysis, solution analysis, and business case analysis are performed.

Disclosed is a method, system and service for developing an end-to-end process for managing acquisitions including, developing strategies and identify an appropriate company for acquisition, managing a transaction and negotiating a deal, integrating an acquired acquisition, and tracking performance against defined business case targets and milestones.

A luggage case is provided with straps or handles for carrying the case and a wheel and an extendable handle assembly for dragging or pulling the case. The wheel and extendable handle assembly is removably attachable to the case, such that it need not be carried when the case is carried by the straps or handles. The wheel and handle assembly are formed as a shell to snugly surround the luggage case. In the preferred embodiment, the case and the shell are joined by mating zippers at the bottom front and top rear edges of the assembly.

A method and system to provide automated tracking of a business case with respect to a targeted aspect of the business process, such as an enterprise IT initiative pertaining to a change in the enterprise IT applications for introduction of a new enterprise IT application. Elements of a business case definition may be incorporated in an enterprise IT application and / or, for a Business Process Management Application, in a business process model. A business case tracking engine may automatically measure benefit indicators to produce a real-time or near real-time display that shows how well the business case is realized in practice, and to identify when the business case is fulfilled or invalidated. Additional methods and systems are disclosed.

A system and method to offer a one or more experiences using various layers to at least one customer is disclosed. The method includes user experience layer having a first plurality of components owned by at least one service provider to evaluate a plurality of experimental changes of the at least one customer. The method further includes user service layer having a second plurality of components owned by the at least one service provider to offer a first plurality of services for the at least one customer. The method further includes an adaptation layer, a network service layer, a protocol layer and a platform layer having one or more components to provide one or more functionalities. Additionally, the method further includes a monitoring and control layer with one or more components to build management information across the one or more layers.

Record management of a business unit is aligned to a digital records policy of a business enterprise. The digital records policy may require process, technology and cultural changes to shift from paper to digital records management. Paper intensive processes tend to have a number of economic, environmental, and operational disadvantages. In addition, government regulations are increasingly requiring businesses to be able to locate and retrieve information quickly. An implementation document contains information about a business process so that a business process supporting digital records may be compared with a digital records policy of the business enterprise. If there are any gaps between the business process and the digital records policy, an action plan may be constructed in order to eliminate or mitigate the gaps. Also, the economic benefits for a business unit migrating to digital records may be analyzed by a business case wizard tool.

The invention discloses a method and a system of the digital postage applied in the commercial mail operation, wherein a commercial mail accepting system transmits the accepted client address and the related information to the commercial mail making system, a digital postage system generates the corresponding commercial mail postage check code information through a encryption algorithm according to the mail information in the commercial mail accepting system and required postage information, wherein the address column containing the commercial mail client name and address and the postage column containing the commercial mail postage information are respectively printed at different places when printing the commercial mail; the printed letter capsulation is put into an envelope with transparent windows, so the address column of the letter is over against the address window of the envelope, while the postage column of the letter is over against the postage window of the envelope, then is delivered. The invention reduces the step of passing through the postage machine to add the postage information of the traditional commercial mail, thereby saving the apparatus invest of the postage machine, reduces the processing cost of the commercial mail, moreover greatly advances the whole processing efficiency of the commercial mail.

A method for developing a software project includes identifying business cases and goals for the software project, defining a common interface architecture through which components of the software project are to be integrated, identifying software project components to be integrated over the common interface, defining high level requirements of the project components, elaborating the component interfaces and defining detailed component requirements, implementing the project components, testing the project components individually, defining integration tests for testing integrated components, and executing the integration tests on a set of integrated components.

A computer implemented system and method for evaluating the impact of a project implementation within a customer situation allows building a business case model for each category of products to be associated within the project implementation and then consolidating all the category business case models into a final general business case model.
