client). Some internal tests were accomplished
during the development phase and professionals
from the research center participated during the
homologation tests. Three main difficulties can be
highlighted: (1) the database migration from the
legacy system to SILAB; (2) the automation of
reports generation; and (3) the definition of the
business rules to implement the Client cycle. On the
other hand, three successful aspects should be
considered: (1) the client was always available and
very close to the development team in order to
clarify the requirements; (2) the agile spirit of
releasing small versions as soon as possible; and (3)
the development team was composed by different
professionals, i.e., a designer, two developers, a
database administrator and an analysts.
As future work, according to survey results
mentioned, a new partnership project related to data
quality is ongoing and it will allow analyzing how
SILAB can be used to improve the research center
business model. In this case, our research group will
use this real scenario to apply data quality
techniques in order to reengineer SILAB and to
better evolve its underlying workflow. The idea is to
evolve SILAB from a system to a platform that
should provide resources to create a software
ecosystem based on the contributions from other
companies related to the energy domain.
