ITO-Tracker - A Tool for Evaluating ITO Projects based on Critical Success Factors
نویسندگان
چکیده
Nowadays, the Latin American software industry, as it is mostly represented by Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs), should focus on improving its service capacity towards high quality, low costs, and timely delivery. Within this context, SMEs providing Information Technology Outsourcing (ITO) services require information that allows to assess and monitor their contractual relationships and the agreements contained therein, considering a set of critical success factors that may vary depending on the type of project addressed. This article is aimed at describing the development of a tool named ITO-Tracker designed for the evaluation of ITO projects oriented to software, hardware, network and databases, based on Critical Success Factors (CSFs). ITO-Tracker offers guidance to the parties involved in the service through regular control and follow-up activities. The methodology used for developing this tool was the iterative and incremental process known as Rational Unified Process (RUP). For this purpose, we documented the development process and results from ITO-Tracker conceptualization, analysis, design and construction. Besides it is presented the evaluation of an ITO project in the software development area using the tool.

Critical Success Factors to Evaluate Information Technology Outsourcing Projects
Nowadays, a large number of companies delegate their tasks to third parties in order to reduce costs, increase profitability, expand their horizon, and increase their competitive capacity. The level of success of such contracting and related agreements is influenced by a set of critical factors that may vary depending on the type of project addressed. This article proposes a model of Critical S...
متن کاملNumerical Solution of Weakly Singular Ito-Volterra Integral Equations via Operational Matrix Method based on Euler Polynomials
Introduction Many problems which appear in different sciences such as physics, engineering, biology, applied mathematics and different branches can be modeled by using deterministic integral equations. Weakly singular integral equation is one of the principle type of integral equations which was introduced by Abel for the first time. These problems are often dependent on a noise source which a...
متن کاملAn optimal method based on rationalized Haar wavelet for approximate answer of stochastic Ito-Volterra integral equations
This article proposes an optimal method for approximate answer of stochastic Ito-Voltrra integral equations, via rationalized Haar functions and their stochastic operational matrix of integration. Stochastic Ito-voltreea integral equation is reduced to a system of linear equations. This scheme is applied for some examples. The results show the efficiency and accuracy of the method.
متن کاملA novel study on the stepwise electrodeposition approach for the synthesis of Pd based nanoparticles, characterization, and their enhanced electrooxidation activities
Herein, a stepwise electrodeposition technique was used to synthesize the Pd based nanoparticles on indium-tin oxide (ITO) electrodes. First of all, Pd nanoparticles were electrodeposited on ITO via one step electrodeposition technique. Furthermore, Au was electrodeposited on Pd. Finally, Co was electrodeposited on Au and Pd electrodeposited ITO electrode via stepwise electrodeposition techniqu...
