There are two main types of threshold analysis services from Solitaire. The first of these is usually done for an operating organization or customer. In this situation, as systems grow and mature the processing requirements for the operation of that system can increase dramatically. Solitaire applies its large heuristic database and proprietary AI processing to build an understanding of the critical limitations for that growth. With a Solitaire study, the significant risk and growth decision milestones are mapped well in advance. This enables better management and cost containment, since surprises of this type are never good.

The second type of threshold analysis that SIL performs looks at the viability of an application or architectural choice within an organization. In this case, the threshold being examined is that of feasibility - whether the COTS product will perform and work for the size and configuration of the organization that is considering its purchase. In either case, SIL’s deliverables include:

• List of strategic decision points
• Ranked risk profiles
• Open issues and concerns
• Contributing factor summation
• System model summary
• Alleviation strategies

With Solitaire’s assistance, the  potential scaling limitations on your applications will be open to strategies rather than rushed tactics.
