Software development can be painful and costly. Hang on, that should say
"Software development IS painful and costly." Well, not always, but it has been

Key Performance Indicators. |
When it comes to your business, there's more to measuring success than profit
and loss. There are a range of Key Performance Indicators (KPI's) that if used
appropriately can be invaluable benchmarks for your business. Ultimately, the
value of KPI's is to help you make wise business decisions. Things like total
sales, number of unit tests written and billable hours can tell you a lot about
your business. In this session Adam will examine how to use OLAP and Microsoft
Data Analyzer to obtain and evaluate the KPI's that are relevant to you
business.

getting their software built in-house can sometimes lead to a failure to
identify design flaws and architectural insufficiencies. They need an unbiased
second opinion from a knowledgeable source that can make recommendations to
improve the quality of their software.
