The ultimate goal

Implior is striving to enable a new type of application development, a new type of applications and a new way of using applications. Some key characteristics are:

• Automation, intelligence and compliance in applications.
• Ability to interact between mobile devices and business processes.
• Secure and cost-effective virtual infrastructure provided through the Internet.
• Application development for both business users and professional developers.
• Improvements in productivity, flexibility and quality in development and usage.

Furthermore, Implior would like to improve project management by reassessing some well-established views on projects.

It could be said that projects can be seen as special cases of processes with the following restrictions:

• Executed once - A project specifically has a deadline and the endeavor is temporary.
• Focused on four variables - Tries to optimize time, cost, scope and risk.
• A project needs to be optimized in advance since it is going to be executed only once.

Projects can be seen as special cases of processes because:

• A project consists of tried building bricks (sub-processes by definition) and untried building bricks.
• The best way to minimize risk in a project is to maximize reuse of well-proven building bricks (sub-processes).
• When a project is starting to diverge from its plan an iteratively process-like optimization is usually started.

Project management based on process measurements instead of estimations is a must.
