Abstract & Introduction

This essay is intended for the admission to the Colorado Technical University (CTU) Online Doctoral

Program in Computer Science Enterprise Information Systems. First, I will identify both my personal

and professional motivations, highlight key accomplishments and academic achievements, advanced

training, certifications, and awards, which give me the foundation to build a solid background and a

wealth of knowledge and skills, allowing me to commit my professional life to the evolution of

technology. Second, I will apply my analytical, methodological project leadership skills to scholarly

research, using credible secondary data to quantify and measure the benefits and cost-cutting solutions

of migrating to modern cloud-based Enterprise Systems. Third, a solid background in technology in

private, public, and nonprofit sectors and a concentration compatibility make me an ideal expert in

Project Leadership Roles administering and managing professional staff, research groups, and

recommending the delivery of effective solutions to top officials, board members, management,

department heads, and professors.

The ability to succeed is driven by the continual determination to never settle for second best. With

the continual evolution of modern cloud-based technology, we have seen the shift from costly

enterprise Big Data Legacy Enterprise Systems to modern cost-effective Human Capital Management

& Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) Systems, allowing Chief Information Officers and

Information Technology Professionals to use self-service features to access product updates and

customized solutions to their organization’s systems by using Software as a Service (SaaS) via cloud-

computing to stay current with software licensing and delivery model through subscription from

centrally hosted services.

Through research analysis and the applied methodologies of Conceptual Modeling, Literary Warrant

Analysis, Mapping Metadata, Metamodeling, and Empirical Instantiation, along with Technology

Intelligence and Financial Forecasting techniques organizations are able to delivery credible up-to-

date public information, while using cost-saving solutions for public and nonprofits on a fixed or

limited public budgets.


Background

Technology is like our brain, if it is not maintained or updated, it becomes an infrastructure that is

outdated, lacks compatibility with other Enterprise Systems and eventually becomes obsolete. The

human brain needs continual stimulation, or it becomes a common wasteland, and ceases grow.

Charles Darwin's Theory of Evolution – with the concept of Survival of the Fittest - states that in

order for organisms to exist, they must continuously adapt to their environment. “Continued existence

of organisms that are best adapted to their environment with the extinction of others.” Darwin’s

Theory uses Natural Selection comes in the form of trait variation, differential reproduction, and

heredity and defines us as complex creatures more advantageous than the less-challenged ones.

1) Trait Variation - Our traits are our qualities that characterize us, making us unique over

other organisms. Technology is made up of different traits making each hardware or

software piece unique to serve a specific function or purpose.

2) Differential Reproduction - As complex creatures not all of us reproduce to our full

potential. Those with the stronger traits through heredity reproduce the strongest, and those

of us with lesser-traits, become the weakest. Technology that is evolutionary and adapts to

the changing demands, becomes the stronger one.

3) Heredity - Our heredity is based on the survival of our traits, based on genetics.

Technology that inherits the stronger traits, stays at the forefront of the IT industry. Genetic

variations can refer to differences between individuals or to differences between populations.

Evolutionary Technology must conform and adapt to the needs and demands of evolving

populations.

4) End-Result - The more advantageous trait becomes the more common one in the

population. The same applies to the stronger technology.


Personal & Professional Motivation

For more than 20 years, my passion for technology has kept me focused and committed to the

evolution of the Information Technology industry. Working for private, public, and nonprofit sectors

has given me skills and knowledge to understand the policies that govern and distinguish technology

and budgets between the different sectors. I have been very lucky to personally witness the nascent

stages, development, and evolution of technology when Big Data and large scale Enterprise Systems

ran the workflow of Data Centers. My first job as a temp tape hanger for Chevron Information

Technology of Houston gave me the know-how and determination to stay current and to adapt and

evolve with the ever-changing technology. My supervisors saw my determination to learn every

process of the Data Center by seeking certification in all areas. This quickly gained me full time status

as a Lead Computer Operator supervising 20 employees. I was given the title of Subject Matter Expert

(SME) and quickly learned the workflow of the Legacy IBM ES9000, AS400, CRAY/UNIX, VAX,

Seischrome Plotters, and Tape Silos, Tape Handling, Tape Mount, Disaster Recovery and Contingency

Plan.

I am amazed at myself when I see my proudest accomplishment, my Master of Public Administration

with GPA of 3.34. When I walked the Commencement Ceremony, at that very moment, I realized

how proud I had made my mother Mrs. Aurora Villarreal, who was watching via live stream and my

father, Mr. Reyes Garcia, who was in the audience. I am a first-generation college graduate. But the

most important person was my mentor, Mr. Leonardo Olivares, who had faith in me, who pushed me

when I felt like giving up. His continual motivation has allowed me to stay focused and stay on track

with my career, fueling my determination and perseverance and tenacity.


Research Interests

According to Computer Weekly’s analogy on the Darwinism theory of evolution applied to technology,

“All technologies have a purpose; all solve some problem.” My background in technology and my

Master of Public Administration give me the knowledge to share my skills in management and

technology and to contribute to the evolution of technology in the public sector.

Most public and nonprofit sector technology programs are mandated and governed by the Public

Budget, leaving government agencies and IT professionals with limited resources. Unlike the large-

scale government agencies which have unlimited budgets and are able to provide citizen engagement,

instant public information, with state of the art resources, such as secure data encryption, apps, cloud-

computing, and self-service options via web-mobile devices, smaller government agencies must get

creative with their budget in order to compete with the large agencies and to meet the demands of

the public.

Even the larger government agencies cannot be spending millions of dollars on running their own

Data Centers. The operational cost of Enterprise Information Systems and their maintenance is

draining IT budgets. By educating government agencies on the benefits of outsourcing and migrating

to the cloud, and making security and up-time a top priority, government agencies have the peace of

mind that their data remains secure and is managed by state of the art cloud Enterprise Systems.

Key Points of Research Interests: To run a successful Data Center, there are five key points that

inform IT professionals on better Management of Government Enterprise Information Systems:

1) To cut Operating and Maintenance Costs of Big Data and Legacy Systems.

2) To provide Open Government and Current Credible Public Information.

3) To establish Disaster Recovery and Contingency Plans with Little to No-Down-Time.

4) To provide Data Encryption and Secure User Access to public records.

5) To continuously strategize by building Roadmaps to educate and plan though the use of

Technology Intelligence and Financial Forecasting.

I would like to contribute to the information technology industry my knowledge acquired over a 20-

plus year span of transformational experiences accomplished by being a part of the evolution of

technology. My continual commitment to technology has fostered in me the obligation to share my

knowledge through scholarly research and publications.


Concentration Compatibility

By pursuing my studies in the area of Computer Science Enterprise Information Systems, I will

contribute to the evolution of modern technology. Through shared knowledge and transparency

methods, my advanced skills can be made easily accessible through scholarly research and case studies

to researchers, Information Technology professionals, and an industry network through research,

analysis and proven solutions to private, public, and nonprofit sectors.

My experience in the industry of Information Technology, along with my graduate degree in Public

Administration, have given me the tools to analyze and apply methodologies based on empirical

findings and to focus on the disciplines that constitute and entail the learning and achievement of a

Doctoral degree in Computer Science Enterprise Information Systems from Colorado Technical

University’s exemplary studies from the Information Technology Department


Ability to Succeed

The ability to survive is based on our ability to succeed. This is best captured by the World’s leading

philosophers, Socrates, Plato, and Aristotle. The Socratic Method has allowed me to identify and distill

my tenable purpose in life. Plato’s Theory of Forms has given me the ability to learn to adapt and try

to live a fulfilling life in a changing world. Aristotle’s Theory of Universals has given us the ability to

identify the commonalities we have with others, while allowing a few to excel beyond our universals.

The Socratic Method - “The Socratic method is defined as a form of inquiry and discussion

between individuals, based on asking and answering questions to illuminate ideas. This method is

performed by asking question after question with the purpose of seeking to expose contradictions

in one’s thoughts, guiding him/her to arrive at a solid, tenable conclusion.”

Plato’s Theory of Forms - “This theory was created to solve two problems, one of ethics and one

of permanence and change. The ethical problem is: how can humans live a fulfilling life in an ever

changing world if everything that they hold close to them can be easily taken away?”

Aristotle’s Theory of Universals - “A universal is a metaphysical term describing what particular

things have in common, focusing strictly characteristics or qualities.” Aristotle’s Theory of

Universals “states that universals exist only where they are instantiated (the concept that it is

impossible for a property to exist which is not had by some object).”

By following the Socratic Method, one can contribute to any given sector, leaving the legacy through

interpretations and scholarly research. By applying Plato’s Theory of Forms to technology, one can

remain current with the ever-changing evolution of technologies, adapting, conforming, and

becoming an innovator and trendsetter. By applying Aristotle’s Theory of Universals to technology,

one can isolate any commonalities the organization has with others with similar demographics,

allowing for the isolation of differences, giving one the power to change course and become a leader

and a creator of a new universal.


Applied Research Methodology & Concluding Remarks

Through research analysis and the use of Applied Research Methodologies, one is able to use identify

five Information Technology Methodologies defined by Monash University’s Information

Technology:

1) Conceptual Modeling is used to provide a conceptual framework for a given project.

2) Literary Warrant Analysis is used to discover authoritative sources for the specification of

recordkeeping metadata, which is data describing and giving information regarding other data.

3) Mapping Metadata is defined as the “process of conceptually mapping the elements of the

Recordkeeping Metadata Schema against elements in existing "best practice" generic sets, and

elements in recordkeeping specific metadata sets is being undertaken.”

4) Metamodeling is used to highlight any inconsistencies or gaps in the framework and explores

the use of qualifiers, metadata sets, depiction of relationships, and identifies and describes

mapping schemas.

5) Empirical Instantiation is used to refine the metadata syntax and semantics, highlighting

areas for further research and exploration.

Through effective Strategic Roadmapping and organizational goal alignment, along with Technology

Intelligence and Financial Forecasting techniques, strategist are able to deliver customized cost-saving

solutions to organizations on a fixed or limited public budgets.


Terms:

Applied Research Methodology – According to Google Online Dictionary, applied research

methodology is defined as “a form of systematic inquiry involving the practical application of science.

It accesses and uses some part of the research communities' (the academia's) accumulated theories,

knowledge, methods, and techniques, for a specific, often state-, business-, or client-driven purpose.”

Financial Forecasting – According to Google Online Dictionary, financial forecasting is defined as

“an estimate of future financial outcomes for…” an organization. “Unlike a financial plan or a budget

a financial forecast doesn't have to be used as a planning document.”

Strategic Roadmapping - According to Google Online Dictionary, strategic roadmapping is defined

as “a time-based plan that defines where a business is, where it wants to go, and how to get it there. It

is a visual representation that organizes and presents important information related to future plans.

Strategic roadmaps are a common approach to planning.”

Technology Intelligence (TI) - According to Google Online Dictionary, technology intelligence is

defined as “an activity that enables companies to identify the technological opportunities and threats

that could affect the future growth and survival of their business. It aims to capture and disseminate

the technological information needed for strategic planning and decision making.”
