- CAI’s Software Best Practices Conference - Half Day Webinar!
March 30, 2010 at 9:00 am
(9:00am Pacific, 12:00pm Eastern)
To register, click here: http://solutions.compaid.com/forms/WebinarB20100330?ProcessType=PreReg
The following speakers will speak on topics of Software Best Practices
Jim Ryan, (The Director of the CAI Consulring Practice in Wilmington, DE)
For 30 years, manufacturing companies have gone through a revolutionary journey that has resulted in dramatically higher productivity, lower costs, and improved quality. In this presentation, Jim Ryan will examine this journey and will draws parallels between the manufacturing revolution and current trends in information technology.
Dan Galorath (CEO of Galorath Incorporated)
Measuring and addressing software performance is critical once software has become established and entrenched in an organization. In this presentation, Dan Galorath will discuss the art and science of maintenance-based performance measurement, including design, development of measurement criteria, collection of metrics, and industry standards, guidelines, and best practice options.
Bob Lawhorn (CTO of CAI)
In this presentation by Bob Lawhorn, an automated approach to data collection is outlined that can address classic metrics challenges, at both a technological and a cultural level, while at the same time institutionalizing standard processes throughout an organization so that the data we wind up with can be analyzed in a meaningful and consistent manner.

(8:30am Pacific, 11:30am Eastern, 4:30pm London)
SEER-IT is a versatile application that enables you to estimate IT infrastructure deployment as well as operations. Many systems today use IT based technology to interconnect key components. This presentation will show:
•How SEER-IT can be used to estimate the deployment and operations of the IT based technologies prevalent in network centric systems (NCS).
•The systems engineering estimating capabilities of SEER-IT. Examples of a SEER-IT estimate for NCS and hardware oriented systems are included.
- Get the Most from your “Should Cost” Modeling Assessments
May 11, 2010 at 8:30 am

(8:30am Pacific, 11:30am Eastern, 4:30pm London)
Discover how to make finite decisions with a “should cost” model based on the manufacturing options you have available. “Should cost” modeling should be the cornerstone for any company that outsources manufacturing, or wants to confirm out sourcing rather than utilizing in-house manufacturing capabilities.
A capable “should cost” model ought to:
•Provide credible and defendable estimates of manufacturing and assembly costs
•Allow for the evaluation of alternatives that directly impact the cost to manufacture
•Facilitate proactive, real time cost impact assessments of design alternatives for today’s global sourcing environment
Learn how the SEER for Manufacturing cost model can be utilized to provide these functions, performing in-depth cost analysis at the manufacturing process level so the user can make the necessary finite decisions.
- Achieve Rapid Estimation of IT Projects
May 25, 2010 at 8:30 am

(8:30am Pacific, 11:30am Eastern, 4:30pm London)
Be prepared. The span of knowledge required of an IT project estimator is much greater than just being able to characterize the software development portion. This Webinar describes a methodology for rapid estimation of IT projects.
Learn the two methodology parts through:
•A formalized estimation structure that ensures that all essential elements of a project are captured
•A series of “scenarios” or mini-estimates that provide defaults to use as starting points for all critical estimation elements
Discover some of the factors essential to preparing such an estimate:
•Elements of the organization’s infrastructure
•Deployment concepts
•Security issues
•And more

(8:30am Pacific, 11:30am Eastern, 4:30pm London)
Imagine being able to produce comprehensive estimates derived from just a few requirements… Now you can.
The CostIQ system has been designed to rapidly produce full projects in any SEER model, with little more needed from the user than a few requirements.
Learn:
•An in-depth introduction to the system
•Its use and configuration
•It’s interface with the SEER toolset
Join us to learn how less is more with CostIQ.
- Techniques that make SEER Mainframe Migration Estimating Successful
July 20, 2010 at 8:30 am
Click this Webinar Link to sign up
(8:30am Pacific, 11:30am Eastern, 4:30pm London)
This presentation will describe use of SEER for Software to produce a series of estimates for a project to migrate software to a new environment. The objective of the estimate was to provide information on the effort and schedule duration required to migrate this critical application. That information had to be developed in such a way that it could be used in a variety of planning and evaluation scenarios.
- A Surefire Solution for Planning Hardware Development Projects
September 14, 2010 at 8:30 am
Click this Webinar Link to sign up
(8:30am Pacific, 11:30am Eastern, 4:30pm London)
Learn about this powerful solution for planning hardware development projects: SEER for Hardware Integration to Microsoft Project.
•Export SEER for Hardware effort and schedule estimates directly into MS Project.
•With relatively limited input, construct a complete project plan which enables users to anticipate almost every aspect of the lifecycle process.
•Plans can be laid out faster and more efficiently than with traditional methodologies.
•Customize templates to reflect an organization's specific manufacturing process.
- Experts in Managing IT Budget Portfolios Share Lessons Learned
October 12, 2010 at 8:30 am
Click this Webinar Link to sign up
(8:30am Pacific, 11:30am Eastern, 4:30pm London)
Learn how SEER for IT can manage your IT Budget Portfolio.
•Successfully augment the SEER for Software estimation model to include core IT system services.
•Reach even further to capture an entire budget portfolio in order to effectively manage both parametric cost items as well as level of effort inputs in order to create a fully documented estimation repository.
This webinar will describe how SEER-IT can be used to support IT project estimation and portfolio management as well as lessons learned from working with the model.
