Bosbec cross-platform websocket-chatt : BCWC

Bosbec är ett företag som utvecklar tjänster för automatisering av informationsflöde via internet, sms, och IOT. När denna rapport skrevs var hybridutveckling en populär utvecklingsmetod för att spara tid och pengar genom att utveckla applikationer i ett språk som sedan kan användas på flera mobila enheter. Bosbec har sen tidigare en chattapplikation som bygger på en äldre kommunikationsstandard, något som upplevs långsamt vid hög belastning. Målet är att utveckla en prototyp för att utreda om en nyare kommunikationsmetod kan göra chattapplikationen snabbare men samtidigt behålla stöd mot den gamla applikationen för att inte mista användare. Metoderna som använts för utveckling utav prototypen är hybridutveckling och en utredning utav vilket kommunikationsprotokoll som passar tjänsten bäst. Resultatet av prototyputvecklingen var att kommunikationshastigheten ökade precis som Bosbec önskade, och att användarupplevelsen blev bättre jämfört med den gamla applikationen. Slutresultatet av prototyputvecklingen är att utveckling av en ny chattapplikation kommer inledas.Bosbec is a company that develops services for automating the flow of information via the Internet, SMS, and IOT. At the time of writing this report, hybrid development was a popular method to save time and money by developing applications in a language that then can compiled to be used on multiple mobile devices. Bosbec has since earlier a chat application that is based on an older communication protocol, which gives the user a slow experience of using application at high loads. The goal is to develop a prototype to investigate whether a newer communication method may make the chat application faster while retaining support against the old application to not lose users. The methods used for the development of the prototype is hybrid development and an investigation to resolve which communication protocol that fits the service the best. The results of developing the prototype was that the communication speed increased as Bosbec desired, and that the user experience was better compared to the old application. The end result of prototype development is that development of a new chat application will be launched

Tenancy Model Selection Guidelines

Software as a Service (SaaS) is a subset of cloud services where a vendor provides software as a service to customers. The SaaS application is installed on the SaaS provider’s servers, and is often accessed via the web browser. In the context of SaaS, a customer is called tenant, which often is an organization that is accessing the SaaS application, but it could also be a single individual. A SaaS application can be classified into tenancy models. A tenancy model describes how a tenant’s data is mapped to the storage on the server-side of the SaaS application.By doing a research, the authors have drawn the conclusion that there is a lack of guidance for selecting tenancy models. The purpose of this thesis is to provide guidance for selecting tenancy models. The short-term-goal is to create a tenancy selection guide. The long-term-goal is to provide researchers and students with research material. This thesis provides a guidance model for selection of tenancy models. The model is called Tenancy Model Selection Guidelines (TMSG).TMSG was evaluated by interviewing two professionals from the software industry. The criteria used for evaluating TMSG were Interviewee credibility, Syntactic correctness, Semantic correctness, Usefulness and Model flexibility. In the interviews, both of the interviewees said that TMSG was in need of further refinements. Still they were positive to the achieved result.Software as a Service (SaaS) är en delmängd av molntjänster där en tjänsteleverantör tillgodoser mjukvara som en tjänst åt kunder. SaaS-applikationen installeras på SaaS-leverantörens servrar, och åtkomsten till applikationen sker oftast via webbläsaren. I sammanhanget av SaaS kallas en kund för ten-ant, vilket oftast består av en organisation, eller i vissa fall enbart av en användare. En SaaS-applikation kan delas in i tenancy-modeller. En tenancymodell beskriver hur en tenant:s data är associerad till lagringsutrymmet på SaaS-leverantörens server.Efter att ha gjort en förstudie kunde författarna dra slutsatsen att det råder guidningsbrist för val av tenancy-modeller. Syftet med denna tes är att tillgodose vägledning för val av tenancy-modeller. Kortsiktsmålet är att skapa en guide för val av tenancy-modeller. Långsiktsmålet är att tillgodose forskare och studenter med forskningsmaterial. Denna tes tillgodoser en modell för guidning av val för tenancy-modeller. Namnet på denna guide är textitTenancy Model Selection Guidelines (TMSG).TMSG utvärderades genom intervjuer med två personer som jobbar inom mjukvaru-branschen. Kriterierna som användes vid utvärderingen av TMSG var följande: Trovärdighet hos den intervjuade personen, Syntaktisk korrekthet, Semantisk korrekthet, Användbarhet och Modellens flexibilitet. I båda intervjuerna ansåg de medverkande att TMSG behöver ytterligare finslipning, och de var båda positiva till det uppnådda resultatet

USING BRAND MANAGEMENT TO ESTABLISH NETWORK RELATIONS : How SMEs can work with brand management in order to establish and develop corporate reputation and legitimacy in network relations in a B2B context

Title: Using Brand management to establish network relations: How SMEs can work with brand management in order to establish and develop corporate reputation and legitimacy in network relations in a B2B context Authors: Aasberg Pipirs Julius & Carlsson Christoffer Level: Master thesis, 30hp Keywords: Brand management, SME, Legitimacy, Corporate reputation, Network relations Background: Given the crucial role SMEs play in the modern society it is vital that knowledge is evolved that can be used to support and grow these businesses. Using brand management practices SMEs could establish and develop corporate reputation and legitimacy in network relations, which could result in higher chances of long-term survival in a B2B context. Research Question: How does working with brand management among SMEs establish, and develop, corporate reputation and legitimacy, and how do these three concepts affect the process of establishing network relations in a B2B context? Purpose: The purpose of this study is to first investigate how SMEs, in a B2B context, work with brand management and how this can establish and develop corporate reputation and legitimacy. Finally the authors wants to see how these three concepts affect the process of establishing network relations. Method: Based on an abductive research approach, a qualitative research method will be used to study six Swedish SMEs that operate in a B2B context. Primary data will be based on semi-structured interviews with managers at each company. Theoretical Framework: The current literature concerning SME brand management is presented followed by its linkages towards establishing and developing corporate reputation and legitimacy. Finally previous research concerning, the process of establishing network relations among SMEs, its relevance for SMEs, and how brand management, corporate reputation, and legitimacy could affect this process, is presented. Findings & Conclusions: Brand management offers SMEs the tools to communicate and interact with various types of stakeholders, which connects the organization to its external and internal environment. By combining this tool with a dedication of always performing above expectations, SMEs stands to efficiently establish and develop corporate reputation and legitimacy. These two constructs essentially acts as the foundation of that which network relations are built upon
