ABOUT THE COMPANY
? Founded in January 1989 , a Turkish IT firm in the field
of healthcare related software development and servicing. ? Focus on Healthcare systems and Government based projects in Turkey ? Datasel has delivered a significant number of complex turn-key projects in the area of e-governance
STRATEGIC MOTIVES
? System Integrator and turnkey solution provider
? Uniting Hardware, Software and networking
requirements ? Providing total solution workouts and creating new opportunities ? Driving force for growth: Custom made software projects for government institutions ? Growth based on projects
STRATEGIC MOTIVES
? Two initial major Directorates :

T5 Project (Bagkur Project) :

ORGANIZATIONAL RESTRUCTURING AND CHANGES
? Need to develop and enhance continuously robust
software products. ? Leveraging the growth and success of AviCenna. ? Mature software development process by implementing Methodology and process control
ORGANIZATIONAL RESTRUCTURING AND CHANGES
Methodology : ? Need to create quality software with faster time to market (e-software paradox) ? After a research to select methodology, Rational INC’s rational suite was selected. ? RFT depends on right methodologies for production and operation. ? Rational’s Suite included set of tools that could handle issues in end user requirements, Development costs, software quality and predictability, managing changes
ORGANIZATIONAL RESTRUCTURING AND CHANGES
Process Control:
? Initially had a paper system for recording bugs and ? ? ? ?
enhancement requests. An internet based help desk system was developed to address requests. A web based MIS recorded all the relevant information about the project and customer. Cost follow-up system integrated with task and operation system. A sound customer DB system to improve customer satisfaction and relationship.
Q1. AviCenna was a successful product. Explain in detail why DataSel did not have a similar success with BroadVision?
? Success of AviCenna was due to :
? A standard and methodology based development along with technical documentation. ? Highly skilled and enthusiastic team of development group. ? Created software from the scratch and successive improvements. ? A breakthrough ERP like system which was new to Turkey’s hospitality industry.
? Major Reasons of BroadVision Failure were:
? ? ? ? ?
Newly Hired staff More sales oriented with only 2 software developers in the team of 10. Lack of product knowledge and function execution. A technical know how and company culture could not be established. Inability to carry out development cycle tasks such as business modeling, requirement analysis, design, test ,deployment and maintenance
Q2 : DataSel’s "Quest of Growth" is a two- fold strategy. How does each address the problems with AviCenna migration, Broadvision, etc?
? The Quest Of Growth address to cope up with the problems in two steps 1) Methodology :
?
One of the Major reasons for failure of AviCenna migration was lack of any standard methodology.
?
? ?
This was identified and Rational’s Suite was selected which gave them suitable development tools and methodology.
Next generation e-biz system demanded software to be fast and right. Through the use of Rational’s tools DataSel could address these challenges of software quality and proper approach in both AviCenna Migration and BV where it required substantial development effort before being launched to market. A systematic and standard approach towards development of software

Q2 : DataSel’s "Quest of Growth" is a two- fold strategy. How does each address the problems with AviCenna migration, Broadvision, etc? 2) Process Control :
? Process control was important part of software development. ? AviCenna migration required to move to client server based architecture. ? A sophisticated planning system was developed for developers and testers to assign, check and implement their tasks daily. ? A web based system was developed for bugs and enhancements requests along with help desks for customer complaints. ? In case of BV products this helps in reducing the time and costs required to modify the application and correct the bugs reported by the customer. ? A web based MIS recorded all relevant information about project and customer which helped in project tracking both in terms of cost and time.
Q3- How would you address the problems described in section "Internal Competition"?
? Problems began as each directorates began operating

independently without any communication. A proper Knowledge management system could be used to share the knowledge There should be regular interaction between departments and change in roles and responsibilities of employees so that knowledge and expertise is circulated in various functional departments. Resources allocation should be based not according to individual directorates but according to requirements in projects Inter departmental training would help employees to learn all the technologies and tools being used in DataSel. Directorate heads need to be working in cooperation. Agile methodologies could be implemented
Q4- Describe the main functionality of a software development support tool such as Rational - you can describe any similar programming environment.
? software development tool is a program or application
that software developers use to create, debug, maintain, or otherwise support other programs and applications ? Rational Software : Rational software offers a comprehensive solution that lets users leverage Linux to build, integrate, expand, modernize and deploy software.
Rational Software
? Requirements and analysis tools. This product category includes
requirements management, business modeling, and data modeling tools. ? Design and construction tools. This tool group includes WebSphere Studio integrated development environment (IDE) supporting Linux development (now named Rational Application Developer). Additional tools include design modeling, component testing, run time analysis ? Software quality tools. Testing tools enable running quality assurance on software products, testing for code consistency, quality, functionality and performance. ? Software configuration management (SCM) tools. These products include change and version control, asset management and defect tracking. Rational SCM Linux support enables developers to work in their preferred integrated development environments (whether .NET, J2EE or a combination of IDEs) while reducing the server side costs.
Q5-"Technical Documentation is a heart of every software." Do you agree with this statement? Why or why not?
? Documentation is an important part of software engineering. Types of
? ? ? ? ?
?
documentation include: Requirements, Architecture/Design, Technical, End User and Marketing. Documentation of code, algorithms, interfaces, and APIs is what Technical documentation includes. It is used to describe various aspects of code’s intended operation. It is important for the code documents to be thorough, but not so verbose that it becomes difficult to maintain them As the basic and advanced level of information may change over a period of time with architecture changes documentation is necessary. Tools such as Doxygen, NDoc, javadoc, universal report etc. can be used to autogenerate the code documents—that is, they extract the comments and software contracts, where available, from the source code and create reference manuals in such forms as text or html files. CMM methodologies insists more on documentation part but newer programming languages used with Agile methodologies makes it easier to understand the coding language and hence lesser documentation is required.
