There are lots of traceability options and also the ability to define various best-practice structures (IEEE, ANSI etc.) to be reused as templates in future projects. It is quite a broad value proposition you can make use of all the various phases of your project.

Am ArunKumar Sr.S.E, from Bangalore. There is an Business opportunity from my Ex-Client member more over my close relation who is working as deputy team leader for EC (European commission) as he is the world 5th costliest consultant from India who is appointed for managing the financial cries of an country in Europe. Where 73 million euro should be used for the development of the major 3 ports of an European country. (Name can be disclosed after the proper agreement and contract).
As per the suggestion of the lead, DTL, that the port can be integrated and computerized in order to provide more efficiency, now the MoTC (Ministry of Transport and Communication) has agreed to utilize some of these funds for making the port fully automated and computerized. Where the project modules consist of,
• Integration (Of the port and its community)
• Computerization (Of information and flow)
• Management (Of port efficiency and resource)
The project configurations are,
? Software development
? Hardware installation
? Networking and automation
? Testing and Commissioning
? Training human resource
The project is going to be officially approved very soon, it’s now he is the decision authority to select a contractor for this project. As he cannot officially do the back business in order to win the project, am representing behalf of him and making my move according to his suggestion.
Now am forming a consortium in order to win the project, as there is 99% chance of winning the project. To be a consortium partner the company should have 3 pre requirements,
1. Should have similar project experience in ports
2. Should have an office in Europe
3. Ready to take care the interest
The initial step should be the done by the willing company is to assist two project consultant (only for this project), where their roles and responsibility will be,
a. Play the role of being a facilitator of relevant information flows, organizing, and setting up and participating in all relevant meetings.
b. Provide required assistance in the formation of consortium and subsequent bidding for the proposed business opportunity

c. Actively get involved in preparing the expression of interest and the technical proposal
d. Contribute in discussions and meetings with the technical experts and visit the project office daily.
e. Communicating with Lead on daily basic or weekly basic through conference.

R.R (Regarding Remuneration of project consultants)

There will be contract agreement for the Assistance of project consultant to win the project (may be 4-6 months) with the Remuneration, where the remuneration may kindly be fixed based on scale of business opportunity, contribution that expected of. As you are aware it is not only time that is being spent but also others whom we represent…

In case if the company doesn’t meet with the requirements , if the company is ready to assist the project consultants, then they can assist the company whom they represents to full fill the requirement as per the lead suggestion. The project will be floated in online by end of aug 2009 or start of sept 2009, before that the technical proposal should be delivered to the lead as the system architecture will be provided by the lead. With the Tech. Propos the RFP will be prepared.

In worst case if we fad to win the project, the product can be developed with a help of JV with European Commission port company, where the requirement, marketing, system architecture of the project will be completely assisted by the lead and the project consultants.

The project consultants will be from reputed university of India holding a engineering degree with vast business experience and software development experience specially in Ports.

Any Software service and product development company can contact over the below mentioned mail or over an call is very much appreciated. If interested and ok with the above mentioned thing we can have a F2F Discussion, where the MOU and contract agreement can be signed..

Time is very short do respond very soon …..

IT Top managment peoples are welcomed..

This argument is only an issue for those who believe the hydrino actually achieves a sub-zero state orbital and is non-relativistic. I contend that the reactionary forces are translated 90 degrees to the temporal axis where this method FORCES normally chaotic virtual particles to organize boundary conditions with gas molecules that formed while inside the Casimir cavity. The subzero like radius of the orbital was non radiative because it didn't really get smaller -the boundary condition holding the electron away from the nucleus got wider on the time axis and the electron orbital simply remained stationary relative to the boundary now distributed differently to reflect the change in quadric volume inside these exclusion fields. the electron remains at -13.6 eV ground state momentum. If the atom exits the field without forming a molecule it will simply untwist back to normal. Dr Mills, Dr Moddel and Dr Haisch all failed to realize you need a covalent bond to occur between these gas atoms while inside the exclusion field or you gain nothing. The energy gain is only for bonds formed while the atoms are submerged as far as possible on the time axis. The gain is provided by virtual particles forming organized boundaries with the newly formed molecule's orbitals which are locked into their temporal orientation by the covalent bond. these orientations are preserved by the covalent bond but while exiting the cavity experience increasing opposition from virtual particles that normally keep orbitals swept back into a path of least resistance to the time stream as it curves between the Casimir cavity and normal space or even between normal space and an event horizon. The new molecules orbital orientations find themselves interleaved into the time stream instead of being swept to the shore line like normal matter. At some point the covalent bond will be broken by the increasing boundary potentials and these "temporal shells" will all collapse in a release of signature black light plasma <a href="http://www.scienceblog.com/cms/blog/7200-reactionless-energy-extraction-casimir-cavities-19037.html#comment-35012/" rel="nofollow">Casimir</a>. frequent criticism of extracting energy from Casimir cavities using gas atoms is that the energy required to push the gas into the Casimir cavity will at least equal the energy released by the photon.

A good tool is a worthy investment to help with the collaboration, documentation, version control, and traceability issues that plague text documents. I certainly understand the lure of a text document when faced with the alternative of a five or six figure requirements management solution, but today there are several good web-based options that can deliver a lot of value for free or a small price.

Whether you choose our tool or not, I would urge readers to move beyond text documents and seek something that meets their needs. Requirements are so important to a project’s success and should be managed accordingly.

Thanks to SoftwareProjects for the Software Requirements section!
