There's a critical link between an organization's goals and its performance metrics. A beautiful mission statement is nothing without specific, actionable measures that provide incentives to succeed. These actionable numeric measures are called key performance indicators (KPIs) and can be organized into a structure called the balanced scorecard. The scorecard helps you quantify business performance over time: weeks, months, quarters, or even years. In this course, accounting professors Jim and Kay Stice explain what KPIs your business should consider in a balanced scorecard, from financial goals to employee and customer satisfaction. They describe how to craft a clear mission statement that complements your KPIs, and how to tie performance to incentives. Plus, get a look at KPIs in action, as Jim and Kay break down a case study examining a trucking company's balanced scorecard. Topics include: Examine various theories relating to key performance indicators. Review leading measures. Identify the adverse impact of selecting inappropriate measures based on a mission statement. Predict the outcome of a business decision. Determine appropriate measures to use in performance evaluations. Differentiate between relevant and irrelevant measures.

In the framework of EAGlobal / Reuse Cross-Institutions, we invite you to the presentation of a solution under development for sharing libraries.This solution is based on Artifactory and allows to share libraries between institutions.

We use APIs, or Application Programming Interfaces, every day as soon as we access the Internet. Not only do they make software easier and simpler to use, but they also provide modularity and flexibility, and help reduce costs. But what is an “API economy”? How can it be an asset and how will it evolve? Several experts will present the opportunities and challenges of an API economy in a public context.

How do reusable services contribute to the management of large volumes of data? How do can they reduce the data volume? Or garantee its quality? And control storage and handling cost?
