Standard Aligned Application[s] (SAA):

In 2014 our lead partner was granted a place on a publicly-funded IT leadership course organised by the William Clinton Leadership Institute within Queen's University of Belfast. The course included a visit to the headquarters of the wealthy global software-house SAP® based in Germany. On this visit Fergus had the opportunity to ask its CEO one question, to which he already knew the answer, because he wanted his audience to hear it from the CEO. He asked if there was any one thing to which SAP could attribute their extraordinary success, and the answer was one word, standardisation ! The magnitude of the answer was in stark contrast to that of SAP HQ, which resembled that of a large village or a small town on the island of Ireland. This was the seed from which the Analigner methodology grew.

Organisations collaborating through adoption of our methodology can operate like a virtual supersized enterprise providing a single set of aligned and fully integrated software-based systems, which support activity in multiple dependent domains. They can achieve this at local, regional or national level, whichever best matches their individual goals or ambitions.

We refer to these organisations as SAA compliant enterprises, and this would form part of their commercial sales and marketing strategies. They would have the products and capacity needed to successfully challenge their global super-sized competitors, and their market position would be even stronger should they avail of their own technologies in software development plus operating systems, and have access to their own Data Centres.
