Utilização de técnicas estruturadas de avaliação de arquitetura para manutenção de um sistema ERP

Abstract

This work deals specifically with the adherence and analysis of the domain of a service outsourcing company and its results, due to the use of a business management system called VisualTec, which is an ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning), which presents inadequacies (errors). In the last decade, technology has gone so far as to change the working routine of most companies, and information flows faster, interfering in the way companies communicate. In this context, this paper deals with a very common problem: that of companies that did not evolve their systemic structures and processes, starting to reap negative results. And when you talk about negative results, you clearly talk about losing money. Technological evolution is a necessity for companies with different profiles and niches. About VisualTec, it adds the processes neglected by the users, next to the errors of the system, thus forming a completely conflicting system. Recalling that "conflicting system" in this specific context, connotes the sum of the automated process with the human process. And because it is also a case study, this work aims to propose a possible solution to the problems identified in the module of point. It reinforces the need to use the appropriate resources of Software Engineering and Software Architecture, such as: Data Structured Systems Development (DSSD); SADT (Structure Analysis and Design Technique); Software Architecture Analysis Method (SAAM) and Architecture Tradeoff Analysis Method (ATAM) to compose the problem solution group in VisualTec. The readjustment for the system to adhere to the rules of the business domain must respect the functional, non-functional and normative requirements, providing a solution that, after being incorporated into the point-of-sale module, can bring the results that the business expects
