Yesterday I had the opportunity to present the presentation “Gapp in practice”, here at the HOTSOS event 2009. To get the presentation ready I worked the whole weekend in the plane and in the hotel. My biggest challenge was to get the demo for the presentation working. The demo would show how easy GAPP can be used in practice. My goal was very well in my opinion, and I was ready to present it in time…
Than at the moment of truth, my laptop was not willing to display via the beamer and I had to present on another laptop… I apologized towards the audience and almost ten minutes late I started my presentation, with some applause from the audience. Anyway my audience was good and after some minutes of strugle (a little mixed up due to the laptop chalenge), my presentation started to run…
To get people in for my presentation I used some words on my badge…
In my presentation I presented a situation of a Time and Labor application depending on three LPAR’s from a 15 LPAR machine system, physically running on a 32 cpu 256Gb P595 IBM system with micro partitioning…
Time and Labor application System
In the GAPP analysis which consists of four important steps, Data Collection, Data Synchronization, Data Mining and Data Interpretation, it became clear that the investigated business process from the Time and Labor application was not able to be modelled in GAPP when only the direct involved LPAR data (factors) was used in the analysis…
GAPP analyses model only with direct involved factors
Only after adding the data from the other LPAR’s made it clear that the competition in resources where from high importance, the model in GAPP made sense now…
GAPP analyses model also with indirect involved factors
The most important message I wanted to give in my presentation was that GAPP can find relations in data and find dependencies which look not to be very obvious, but start to make sense when GAPP finds these relations.
I just uploaded my presentation overhere in downloads, it is also available for the HOTSOS 2009 attendees at the HOTSOS website.
