Some three years ago, I had the intuition that Systems Engineering, Software Engineering, Agile Methodology, CMMI methodology, and the Software Development Lifecycle (SDLC) would make footprints in the real estate of Microsoft Corporation’s campuses and world renown Software Engineering Institute (SEI) at Carnegie Mellon University.
SEI at Carnegie Mellon Univerisity has recently arbitrated their SDLC to be the ultimate blind date with our prior intuitive leadership in software engineering and system engineering for bidding and contracts with the Department of Defense (DoD) warfare transactions.
For past decades, many Software Developers and Web Developers in the Microsoft .NET development community grammatically spoke of software engineering as dogfood. Strikingly, the flavor of Microsoft has changed somewhat dramatically since Steve Ballmer got Bill Gates’ pair of Chuck Taylors. Today, state of the art disciplines developed by Software Engineers of Microsoft Research have transcended software development and testing into the latest versions of the .NET Framework as Software Development Engineers and Software Development Engineers in Test. As CEO, and founder of Florida Software Engineers, I have long awaited the day that software engineering is no longer a moniker or unwelcomed at Microsoft. Cascading around the United States, children wearing mittens are trading them in for keyboards and opportunities to obtain certification through the Microsoft® IT Academy at designated schools such as Dunbar High School located here in Ft. Myers, Florida. Look for my upcoming blog on a Microsoft Case Study of Dunbar High School, and how new breeds of software development engineering has transcended future Microsoft technologies from Redmond to Ft. Myers and Southwest Florida.
Today, the accountability of defining engineering in software and systems engineering, Microsoft and SEI heuristically have become mutually compliant to Florida Softare Engineers’ bill of good health at prescribing best-of-breed software solutions.

At the beginning of July, Florida Software Engineers LLC (FSE) was interviewed by Florida Weekly newspaper concerning the status of Software Engineering in Southwest Florida. With slim representation of software engineering, I offered many objectives and directives of the software industry according to 14 years of knowledge in the various Fortune 500 and Inc. companies. Although the issue has been cataloged, I am working to obtain a copy of the interview. I would like to extend my thanks to the publishing staff for choosing Florida Software Engineers LLC to “kick the tires” on software engineering in Ft. Myers. and Southwest Florida.

In the June 1 issue of CIO Magazine, I digested the talk of cloud computing and the variables associated with cost and cost benefit analysis. The core attraction of clouds si that companies can avoid buying and running hardware, software and other equipment by contracting with a services vendor to run selected systems or applications on its own infrastructure of virtualized servers. This common use of virtualized environments for SaaS (Software as a Service) is becoming a wide-eyed optimistic approach to managed technology with diversity relevant to project or company size. “The ‘services’ you purchase are delievered in a standardized, multitenancy fashion that observers say will save one-third to one-half of your current costs.” Motorola with 33 SaaS applications, including Salesforce.com, “estimates the cost at one-third to one-half of what Motorola normally spends on those applications.”

In meeting with The Southwest Florida Economic Development Office (EDO) in December of 2008, I met with Sue Noe, Business Assistance Manager, Warren Baucom, Business Assistance Specialist, and John Matthew Brock, Economic Research Analyst to discuss the demographic and statistical economic information to assess the investment of incorporating a Software Engineering Firm in Southwest Florida. The Southwest Florida Economic Development Office advised through demographic profiles and growth in Information Technology in Southwest Florida that key business climate issues in Information Technology provide private investments in Software Development is attracting Software Engineers to Southwest Florida. Florida Software Engineers, LLC’s outstanding attributes to labor costs and support services provides a breadth of methodologies in the Software Development Lifecycle that many Web Development Firms and Web Developers can’t produce high-skilled products in a competing business environment at a comparable costs.
