Hello , Please help me on OC1 - technical applicant without patents .
I have done extensive research on one technology stack ie middleware and built a custom monitoring tool for business to view and understand , the middleware have a monitoring page but its too technical with no meaning for business in B2B integrations .The custom tool , provided end to end view of orders coming in ,orders response going out , invoices for some 250 + business partners in B2B format.
I also have built a component in the new technology stack which helped the customers to use existing URLs to pass B2B documents as the new technology stack did not have that same during migration to this new stack. i can also explain the impact if it was not there on the customers. Does this count as innovation as it completely missing and not present?
While I think what I believe you are trying to describe could pass for significant contribution to impact (OC3) even though I am not totally sure that I understand every bit of what you have written, I doubt that building a custom tool for an existing technology infrastructure within a business would be considered much of an innovation, much less “significant” contribution to innovation.
I dont think any one ever go inside deeply into middleware’s internal components or play with it, rather they just use existing features of the middleware to configure and make available a process to different businesses in the same company. The business has not got anything to do with middleware except just sending the documents to their partners.
However this middleware is of quite importance as a vast number of documents flow through it daily, like 1 million plus , from different businesses.
So there was an opportunity for visualisation , analytics as this is the point where everything meets.
By custom monitoring tool, i meant was i had to dig into their closed source coding/libraries and make use of them to give different views to different businesses , like invoicng department gets theirs, logistics gets their views, sales have thier own.
Also this tool can be replicated or deployed into lother companies with same technological stack with minimal effort
How will i know if something i did is innovation or not as i received award on innovation for this by the company?
Hi @Fariha_Kazi you can use this story under innovation if you ensure your drafted narrative clearly shows how this was an innovative solution for the issue faced (and not a normal part of process), what was your specific role in this innovation, impact of it and third party validation. Try to include support letter from your manager or from a user validating your claims.
Thanks @pahuja , I am really grateful for your valuable response and effort you all are making.
i want to know that i work as an independent contractor (more than 2 yrs) with renewal each year in the architecting team. This arrangement is because i work offshore and the company is not present in my country India.its in US. (Automotive company) and they have to pay through their vendor for payroll.will this count as my job?
I also have the task of assessing work of other consultancies like tcs, infosys, deloitte accenture etc… will this be valid for mc ?
Yes if you can show your employment contract, contractual engagement with the offshore client, perhaps even a letter from the client and proof of salary/payslips
What kind of work are you assessing? Does it align with proving any of the criteria? What support evidence would you have to prove your significant contribution and impact of the assessment work? It is hard to provide more detailed feedback without knowing exactly your job profile, nature and extent of work and how it fits into qualifying for the criteria.
I am assessing their developments and configurations in relatively new digital field and that if they align with the company’s IT strategy and I help in building the IT strategies in the same new digital field and concepts like events driven architecture, cloud integrations, designing B2B mappings with AI proposals for business users and also in building a repository of documnets of the architecture framework. I am not sure if the below in Mandatory criteria means outside my job or a part of it?
You have held or hold a significant expert role participating on panels, or individually, assessing the work of others in the same field or a field of specialisation related to the digital technology sector.
I work as an Integration Architect. I can ask for a reference letter from my manager who is the Solutions Architect and whom i report to and may be he writes that i assess their work . This helps in making sure no downtime for sensitive systems due to their wrong configuratiosn as its a new digital technoligy , Alignment with IT strategy as there are numbers of deployments daily as its a disruptive technology.
