Description
Technology architect,Ty Showers' project experience spans multiple continents. From Singapore to Australia, Canada, and state-side, he has worked with diverse team members in challenging environments. For example, Ty supervised a staff of twenty programmers and two analysts during the design and creation of Worldspan’s advanced billing, tracking and indexing systems. A taskmaster, he believes in producing quality work, and delivering on time. Other projects to his credit: SOA, SaaS, and application suites for sports, insurance and retail industries. Moreover, he established web sites for capital management, architecture, engineering, sports, and project management. Attracted to the Sunshine State’s tropical climate, Mr. Showers moved to Miami, Florida in 2000. While soaking up sun and appreciating palm trees, he served as Chief Architect with a local software company, and Vice President of Technology with another. In addition, his role as Application Architect Consultant for Accenture required having a suitcase packed most of the time. In more than 20 years, Ty Showers’ experience in software mainframe, Internet and Intranet application systems reveal the depth of his knowledge base.

System Integration Starts With Data AlignmentSo, this is the information age: a world filled with an overwhelming amount of data and ideas that can literally paralyze the effectiveness of a company. Yet, the free-flow of ideas and information throughout an organization is the lifeblood of success. Without proper systems in place to manage the day-to-day flow of information, paralysis sets in quickly. Proven Practices Are KeyTy Showers understands this problem (25+ years in IT) and over the years has designed methodologies to facilitate the smooth transition of data from lower management to top executives, and all staff levels in between. Ty specializes in pinpointing weaknesses crippling organizations. A Computer Scientist and expert in system performance and SaaS issues, he is currently working on an algorithm based on artificial intelligence that will eliminate the need for a database and provide relevant search results in context. Once perfected, it will rock the database world and change searching forever. To learn more click here.

Enterprise CapacityRalph Szygenda, CIO of General Motors (GM), wrote a response piece to a Harvard Business Review (HBR), in which he states: that companies are deploying information systems throughout their operations at only "the fifth grade level." For example, something as basic as sales-force automation. Many companies have not yet put their entire sales staff on one system, blocking management from gaining an integrated view of the sales cycle. Fewer still are companies that effectively interpolate sales data with such critical after-sale information as product or service reliability, customer satisfaction or repurchase intent. Although Szygenda shared this view 6 years ago, nothing much has changed. A Simple and Practical MethodologyTy's methodology, the Unified Business View (UBV) framework is simple and practical. His methodology is an expedient solution to business problems. No reveling in complexity to be smart or cool. The methodology focuses on solving business problems in the most expeditious way. The Unified Business View (UBV) framework was created within a SaaS context to simplify management concerns, and aid fast solution deployment. This framework led to examining the challenges businesses face and applying the method to a variety of issues. UBV can be applied to retrieve accurate, timely information across multiple applications. Additionally, UBV can deploy timely solutions, which means less development costs. Ty’s view of how business software should be unified, solves problems and provides answers, fast. The Story Behind a New Revolutionary way to Store and Retrieve InformationOver this past Thanksgiving holiday, Ty was doing some research using all the search engines and was getting frustrated trying to find information. As an IT consultant, Ty often hears from large organizations that finding information once inputed is a struggle, especially from disparate systems. During this time, Ty's wife said that she has many bookmarks, downloaded documents and databases. "You're smart, can't you write something where I can find stuff?" The approach was first, try to imagine a world without search engines (which apparently don't work very well) and database applications (which are only as good as the programmers who code them). How would one record and find information if none of these things exists? Ty started to reminisce about how he learned as a child, and then that's when the epiphany happened! Code an algorithm that uses software agents (programs that monitor) and an artificial intelligence engine to learn - just as a child. The agents would gradually build knowledge by learning - through context and relevance - how a person uses a computer, and when asked a question would respond with the appropriate result. In the beginning, the agents wouldn't be that bright, but computers can process large amounts of data in a very short time now (not like in the 60s 70s 80s and 90s), thus the agent could become smart rather quickly. Ty has created the algorithm, but it needs to be perfected.
