About Myself

Was a mainframe developer for 14 years before I transitioned to Remedy development.

My colleagues will tell you I’m old. They’re just jealous because they’ve never read a core dump in hexadecimal.

I’ve been with Kinetic Data for 12.5 years.

My role is solution architecture and technical lead for our professional services group.

Challenges of Defining Service Request Requirements

Not gathering all of the requirements needed before development begins.

Inconsistent requirements documentation causes confusion for service request developers.

Lack of any or accurate documentation creates challenges down the road.

The Solution

Gathering all service request requirements before development begins will save you time, money and frustration.

Process owners or subject matter experts fill in the Blueprint Document.

Any Kinetic Request developer will be able to pick up the Blueprint Document and develop the service request.

Support of the service request is easier because you don’t have to be the subject matter expert to understand what’s going on.
