He described the method of bookkeeping known as the double-entry accounting system.He described the use of journals and ledgers, and warned that a person should not go to sleep at night until the debits equalled the credits. His ledger had accounts for assets, liabilities, capital, income, and expenses. He demonstrated year-end closing entries and proposed that a trial balance be used to prove a balanced ledger.

Questions?
Is Cloud Computing New?
• The underlying concept of cloud computing dates back to the 1960s, when John McCarthy opined that "computation may someday be organized as a public utility."
• The actual term "cloud" borrows from telephony in that telecommunications companies, who until the 1990s primarily offered dedicated point-to-point data circuits, began offering Virtual Private Network (VPN) services with comparable quality of service but at a much lower cost. Cloud computing extends this boundary to cover servers as well as the network infrastructure.
• According to an article in Infoworld the definition of Cloud Computing is still being defined, though some CIOs and CEOs claim its just a new name for what we’ve been doing. CEO Larry Ellison of Oracle Corporation asserts that cloud computing is "everything that we already do", claiming that the company could simply "change the wording on some of our ads" to deploy their cloud-based services.
• The New Normal for Applications.
What is TSCM Security Services?
• Technical Surveillance CounterMeasures
• A provider of high quality Counterintelligence and Privacy Protection Services for private citizens, U.S. Corporations, Federal, State, and Local Government Agencies.
• Now a cloud solution provider of DCAA compliant software for government contracting agencies and government agencies direct.
• Founded by Howard Johnson in 2006.
What is TSS doing with GeneXus today?
• Providing a DCAA compliant package that is also compatible with smart devices. Accessible in the cloud. (Currently done without using the smart device generators)
• Providing solutions that can provide reports from databases that are totally unrelated and are on different platforms.
• Providing custom solutions for commercial and government clients with a noticeably faster turn time than our competitors.
• Utilizing Genexus to develop countermeasures for cyber attacks as well as cellular and wireless monitoring user interfaces.

My Experience with GeneXus
• User of GeneXus since 1991 starting with Kellwood Company and EDS.
• Used with many platforms including AS/400, Windows Client Server, Web (Windows and Unix).
• Used many of the generators including COBOL, RPG, FoxPro, Clipper, Visual Basic, C#, Java.
• Assisted other large organizations in getting onboard with GeneXus such as Pictsweet and We’re Wireless (an AT&T authorized retailer).
How did I learn of GeneXus?
• 1991 - Seeking a product to do system prototyping.
Why I heavily embrace GeneXus
• It’s a product that does what it says!
• Artech is in tune with trends
• Future proofs
• I like to work smart, not hard.
• Single Tool – Multiple Platforms. (One Size Fits All)
• Does not produced “bloated” code.
• Powerful and robust versioning and change management.
• Handles any size development
• High Level Code/No road blocks.
Efficient Software Engineering
Platform Flexability
Evolution Adds Ruby and Smart Device Generator.
Successes Using GeneXus• Kellwood - Designed one of the first offshore manufacturing tracking system.
• Pictsweet - Designed a “Bulk Warehouse” application.
• Kellwood - Designed a Windows based solution that interfaced with AS/400
• Kellwood & Pictsweet - Designed thermal label interfaces for AS/400 for both TL Ashford and Magic.
• Kellwood & Pictsweet - Designed a reporting tool to allow end users to create ad-hoc reports and export data into Excel.
• We’re Wireless (AT&T) – Designed a web interface to provide business intelligence for the wireless industry as well as system “bolt-ons” to fill in gaps and features lacking in operational software. Had to extract data out of a database called Top Speed.
• Kellwood – By 1994 reduced the development team of 14 people down to 3 with gains in production. Systems developed allowed Kellwood Sag Harbor division to grow from 225 million to 750 million in 4 years without adding resources.

What we do!
“There is nothing more difficult to plan, more doubtful of success, more dangerous to manage than the creation of a new system. The innovator has the enmity of all who profit by the preservation of the old system and only lukewarm defenders by those who would gain by the new system.”
Niccolo Machiavelli - The Prince - 1513
Who am I and who is TechPG?Jack Eakins• Computer Engineering degree from
The Ohio State University• Employed in federal government, at
fortune 500 companies and for small startups all in the IT arena.
• Worked on projects with nine figure budgets and on systems for two users.
Who am I and who is TechPG?
• Indiana WBE consulting company founded in 1992 that works mostly in the government arena.• First 10 years in Cobol mainframe environment
for large systems integrators in highly structured and heavily documented environments.
• Migrated to building thick client and then web- based systems.
• Now work entirely on web-based applications using the GeneXus tool suite.
“There is nothing more difficult to plan, more doubtful of success, more dangerous to manage than the creation of a new system.”• When you build, tool selection is critical:
• Comprehensive• Usable• Integrated• Supported
Our GeneXus History

How do we use GeneXus?
• Use to develop all new products and applications
• Use to manage our KB’s and developers worldwide
• Use XPM to manage our projects
Perform initial prototype and then move to final system extremely quickly
Use WorkWithPlus pattern from Dvelop for enhanced functionality
Low technical knowledge
Version control
Always looking forward – maybe too fast for government work
and XPM
Solves storage, sync and backup KB issues
Support developers wherever they are
XPM is on external server to allow access for staff and clients
Word upload of items is a big plus
KB Object integration allows for better tracking
Integration with Project and item tracking supports client’s needs
What have we done?
EnABLE is a .Net SQL web-based system
160 transactions, 1900 attributes and 1,500 objects
