Performance

The Information Technology (IT) industry has grown tremendously over the past twenty years.  The evolution of hardware and software has been the key mechanism to its growth.  The hardware has increased its ability to process terabytes of data.  The software has improved to a point in which software development can fully utilize benefits of the hardware enhancements. 

Despite the changes in technology systems are still facing the same problems that were encountered twenty years ago. It's true that that a large amount of data can be manipulated and systems are now more robust.  But they face the same problems, speed and time.  The larger the system the more the issue of speed and time comes into play.  Technology can continue to grow but if businesses continue to use the same IT approach that they have been using for the past twenty years then the old problems will always exist.

The common approach that is being used by most businesses in Information Technology is to use a particular Software Development Life Cycle and apply it to a businesses need. 

In doing this, businesses will use the latest and greatest technology and build a system that depends on linear scalability. In today’s world and even yesterdays, this is not adequate. Speed and time is always the issue at some point.
 

The silicon CPU chips that are being used now are maxed when it comes to speed.  This means that given the current technology that CPU’s are running as fast as they can until the next evolution of processors.  The speed of light is the next hurdle.

Even with the evolution of the computer chip and increased speed, the speed and time problem will continue to exist.   JMA uses a different business approach to Information Technology. This approach will maximize the power of the current and new technology. JMA approach can be applied to all phases of the Software Development Life Cycle.
