"The way that Big Money got to be Big Money was by also being the 'Smart Money', and so it is worth paying attention to how the Big Money traders behave. That's the essence of what Larry Williams has to teach us in this book. And it's not just what the Smart Money says or thinks, but how they behave in terms of their trading that we should pay attention to. Larry shows us how to listen to that message."
—Tom McClellan Editor of The McClellan Market Report

—James Altucher author of Trade Like a Hedge Fund

In today’s world, most global companies face enormous challenges in dealing with an inflexible budget climate when complex changes are required. Secrets to a Successful Commercial Software Implementation will help guide business leaders to gain understanding of how commercial, off-the-shelf (COTS) software like SAP, Seibel, and PeopleSoft should be applied in order to ultimately achieve significant cost savings.

Project management professional Nick Berg utilizes his strong background in domestic and international Systems Applications and Products to teach others the potential benefits of implementing COTS products such as faster deployment time, enhanced quality and reliability, reduced development risk, provided periodic upgrades and improvements, and an already established support system. He introduces a unique process for COTS development, presents best-practice processes for COTS projects, and defines the architecture procedures within the COTS environment. Finally, he walks through each project phase of a COTS-based project by introducing the objectives, road map, roles, activities, artifacts, and milestone of the phase.

The cultural impact on an organization facing this decision is profound, but if implemented with forethought, planning, and dedicated guidance and execution, the benefits to an organization will be long reaching and significant.

The Short Vowel Phonics book series is specifically designed for the beginning reader and the struggling reader. The series systematically covers many of the consonant phonics concepts of a typical first grade curriculum using only decodable, short vowel words and nine non-phonetic sight words. The first book in the series A Dog, a Cot consists of ten page-turning stories. Each story is short, focusing on one vowel sound, so that, a child can most easily experience success and thereby increase his or reading confidence. Each vowel is featured in two stories. Stories vary from 4 to 9 sentences in length. All letters of the alphabet are used in the book with the exception of vowel "y". Examples of short vowel words used are: pin, jet, big, box. Four non-phonetic sight words are used: a, has, is, the. If a child has mastered sound-letter relations, learned the four non-phonetic sight words, and blended sounds into words, Short Vowel Phonics 1 is the place where a child can experience the joy of reading a real book. The series has been praised by both educators and parents. Kirkus Discoveries wrote of Short Vowel Phonics 1: The organization and thorough, beginner-oriented approach set the book apart from many mass-market phonics readers..... A well thought-out, noteworthy addition to early phonics instruction.

The acquisition of open systems and commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) products is an increasingly vital element of corporate and government software development. Properly managed software acquisition offers potential for significant time and cost savings over a system's lifetime. The transition from proprietary, custom-built systems to systems based on standards and commercial products is not easy, however. Managers and their staff must understand the risks and opportunities associated with this acquisition approach.

Managing Software Acquisition presents the fundamental principles and best practices for successful acquisition of open, COTS-based systems. It explores the many opportunities and challenges of this approach, defines key terms, anticipates potential problems, and discusses the effect of software acquisition on the manager's job. The information presented addresses critical concerns affecting the entire software industry; it also discusses important issues particular to government acquisition.

• Promises and pitfalls of open, COTS-based system acquisition
• Implications for industry and government--quality, loss of control, and risk
• Reference models, architectures, and standards for open systems and COTS products
• Implications for cost, schedule, performance, and staff
• Engineering practices, including defining requirements, integration, testing, deployment, and support
• Contracting strategies and relationships with vendors
• Integrated acquisition using standards and COTS products

Each major section concludes with realistic, open-ended exercises that illustrate vital issues confronting software acquisition managers. In addition, the book includes an extensive reference section containing a glossary, list of acronyms, sample questions to help organizations evaluate their needs, and more.
