ITCI Announces Enterprise 2.0 and "Me2" Offering

New breakaway solution increases ITCI offering

Washington D.C., March 01, 2009 International Training Consortium has increased its business focus to include offering a breakaway technology framework that brings Web 2.0 characteristics to the Enterprise with "Me2 Enterprise 2.0." Our unparalleled approach is described below.

Andrew McAfee of the Harvard Business School defines Enterprise 2.0 as:

"The use of emergent social software platforms within companies or between companies and their partners or customers. Such software enables collaboration and promotes community."

What Is Enterprise 2.0? The way we work is changing rapidly, offering an enormous competitive advantage to those who embrace the new tools that enable contextual, agile and simplified information exchange and collaboration to distributed workforces and networks of partners and customers. Enterprise 2.0 is the term for the technologies and business practices that liberate the workforce from the constraints of legacy communication and productivity tools like email. It provides business managers with access to the right information at the right time through a web of inter-connected applications, services and devices. Enterprise 2.0 makes accessible the collective intelligence of many disparate sources, translating to a huge competitive advantage in the form of increased innovation, productivity and agility.

The ability to manage, analyze, integrate, and correlate information from many diverse sources becomes an automated process through the introduction of the Me2 Framework. This includes the ability to acquire, source, and automatically liberate data from most data sources. With Me2 Enterprise 2.0, users instantly access data from Internet Portals and applications, ERP, CRM, SCM, TMS, BI, Project Plans, Spreadsheets, Text/PDF files, Visio, CAD, OCR, Mainframes, AS 400 systems, EDI, and Databases such as DB2, Oracle, SQL Server, Sybase, etc.

Create an automated business process without any programming knowledge;
Apply custom business rules and logic
Assemble applications on the fly without any program coding knowledge
Utilize fewer resources, thus saving time and reducing programming costs
Reduce human error/omissions
Adapt quickly to changes in data source formats
Acquire data from multiple sources without programming

"The ability to apply consumer Web 2.0 trends in business via a social enterprise represents an opportunity to dramatically improve how we interact with colleagues for knowledge management, collaboration, and content creation."

– The Social Enterprise / Oracle 2008

Me2 Enterprise 2.0 Framework delivers the benefits of SOA and BPM, and fully complies with all standards, but without the massive coding effort, time, cost, and risk involved, in application development.

Advanced multi-language web searches based upon custom dynamic criteria
Auto-detect location of transaction-specific useful information, Excel sheets, and other documents
Automated comparisons of disparate systems’ data to identify similarities and differences - e.g., financial audits
"Fuzzy" matches of short-strings, long-strings and source to XML transformations

Me2 is unprecedented in the technology arena today and fills a vital need for business transformation, modernization and refining processes for most if not all federal agencies within our government. This pioneering solution augments and extends the life of existing technology investments--not replacing them. Me2 Enterprise 2.0 provides an affordable and workable solution, for quickly acquiring critical legacy data -- without writing any code -- and ultimately pushing these essential assets to designated authorities for decision acuity.

This next generation architecture approach effectively eliminates redundancy while simultaneously accelerating the delivery of projects through consolidation and the reuse of services, which are often referred to as Web services.

As a result, Information Technology becomes more efficient and allows for quicker project delivery as well as shorter cycles.

Finally, Me2 accelerates the refining existing processes and procedures and creates reusable business applications, processes and procedures, as needed, to enable controlled, accountable access to data sources and programs
