So have I achieved another master class in deception with Jim Brown inviting me on to his learned blog with a Guest 103 blog posting by this impostor whereby I have once again manipulated his trust in me.? With PO’s so well read in Greek mythology and not computer technology Jim nor his PO followers will have spotted that the term “Trojan Horse” is used by the computer fraternity to describe the use of malicious software that disguises itself as being legitimate to deceive users. Notice the subtle use of the word fraternity to engage with the PO’s with their classical historical educational backgrounds. So I am slowly infiltrating the Probation Matters blog with talk of Business and Computer Systems. The objective being to be occupy Guest Blogs 103 to 199 with talk of Business and Computer Systems. To this end this is yet another to make PO’s eyes roll backwards.
Probation needs to be supported by an exceedingly complex
set of Business Systems. The term Business System is used in a hierarchical way
it being at the top level. Although strictly speaking there is a level above
that called Executive Information Systems (EIS) but we won’t go there just yet
since we haven’t sorted out the Business Systems yet. In fact the Computer
Industry survives on reinventing this jargon every few years usually to
convince people to buy more stuff and services to teach you what the new jargon
means. Sales have slowed down so invent a new piece of jargon we can sell. Now
Probation Business Systems are so behind the times that the operation of these
Business Systems is dependent on Human Process Flow Memory of what to do next,
Computer Systems and Paper Based Systems. Comments like “Isn’t there a new form
for that?” “Why am I re entering all this data again on another form?” “ Where
is that form I completed 6 months ago?” “Is there a form or do I enter it directly
into a computer screen ?” “Why am I marking so many boxes on this form as “Not
Applicable”? (You have guessed it. OASys).
One view held by many Business Systems Analysts, yes it is
a profession of sorts, is the broader
the users understanding of the total system the better it makes then able to
make a sound contribution to their part of the total system. So to this end the
communication of the total Enterprise Architecture Framework to those that can
stay awake long enough is one of the great pleasures of being called a nerd.
Particularly if we can send them to sleep by explaining there are derivatives of this framework like
the Zachman Framework. Obviously to do this we need a new better paid job title
of Enterprise Systems Architecture. Anyway to cut to the chase. Looked this
expression up on AI as I am writing this like you do. Derived from the silent
film industry where lots were edited out so the audience could get to the
exciting chase scenes. So I will do the same and get to an exciting flowchart.
I decided that users all understood the London Tube Map
since it is the perfect guide to getting from A to B. So why not emulate its
graphical style to show how Business Processes get from A to B. So use he link
below to take look a look at how
Probation fits within the overall Enterprise Architectures. I bet you cannot
wait for the next Guest Blog especially if its mine that gets past Jim yet
again. Banno.
Notice the nerdy use of a handle rather than a name derived
from CB (Citizens Band) Radio in the 1970’s and now standard internet practice
for those wanting a semi - anonymous persona. I say “semi” because you can very
easily find my real name, unlike finding your client’s many names. But is it my
real name? Many claim to know who the real Jim Brown is, but do they really
know ?. Don’t we all love a bit of identity theft. By clever use of similar naming
emulating famous people has become one of internets favourite pastimes. Bye for
now. Keira Starmer or is it Keira Scammer.
All this to get you to study the Horizontal Workflow for the UK Criminal Justice System - Offender Pathway (circa 2014) using Enterprise Architecture principles but to a London Underground Graphical User Style Interface.
