    ABOUT THE BOOK

    The "PRIDE" Methodologies for IRM embodies over 35 years of practical experience in developing information resources to solve real-world problems. Once a trade secret, the creators of "PRIDE" have released the methodologies to the public thereby providing the same management approach as used by major businesses around the world. The methodologies are universally applicable transcending industry, type of application, and culture. The beauty of "PRIDE" is that it ties all of your development efforts into a single, cohesive approach, including Enterprise Engineering, Systems Engineering, Software Engineering, Data Base Engineering, and Project Management. At last, a worldwide standard for development.

    Excellent for college curriculums.

    Includes sample deliverables (examples).

    Two versions are available: an eBook version implemented as an Adobe Reader PDF file, and an Audio Book version implemented as a set of MP3 audio files. Both versions complement each other and are based on the same text. Both versions complement the main Internet version which is a much larger body of work.

    REVIEWS

    "This book provides management with a complete set of powerful tools for managing the largest information systems projects."

    "I am really impressed with your book. Its a heavy "Bible" given all the experience and knowledge you can imagine in the fields of IRM. This book deserves to be a bestseller like 'The Da Vinci Code.' It's a real treasure of knowledge for people involved with IRM, Enterprise Engineering and Systems Development. MBA deserves a lot of credit from the industry for their achievements in this field.

    I think you have succeeded in presenting all concepts in a well structured and easy readable form and at the same time easy to navigate."
