Abstract: Embodiments of the invention provide a method, system and computer program product for process re-engineering analysis. The method includes generating a graphical display in an analysis tool and inputting in the display a set of steps of an existing business process specifying in the display a set of key criteria against which the set of steps are evaluated. A set of steps of a new business process intended to replace the existing business process are additionally input into the display and the new steps are scored in the display in connection with the key criteria in terms of improving the criteria, worsening the criteria, or no change. Finally, a sum of the scores is computed to produce an aggregate score for the new steps and indicating in the display a bias to the new steps in response to a determination that the aggregate score is better than the existing process.

Abstract: Disclosed are computer implemented methods of configuring system locale in a computer system, and apparatus for implementing same. The methods comprise presenting a computer user with a multilingual, yet locale independent, language selection screen. The language selection screen comprises a number of language options, one of which may be selected by the computer user. The language options appear in characters native to their referenced languages. The language selection screen achieves locale independence by generating elements of the screen from saved bitmap images or the like. In this manner, current locale settings (if any) are ignored, and language databases corresponding to specific locales are not accessed. After a user selects a language option, his or her computer system may be configured to reawake in a corresponding locale; or alternatively, he or she may be presented with additional language/locale option screens which depend from the locale corresponding to the user selected language.
