Abstract: A key ingredient in the design and development of enterprise software systems is a precise description of the business endeavor. In practice the engineering designs for corporate systems are surprisingly poorly articulated due to the difficulty organisations face in clearly defining their business needs in a structured and unambiguous manner. One problem is that the notations used in business process specifications are technical in nature, notoriously complex and not particularly intelligible to business stakeholders. There is a constant disconnect between the fluid, evolving nature of business strategies and the brittle, rigid nature of process automation. This invention provides a method and corresponding system design for addressing these limitations by articulating a business endeavor in a comprehensive, structured conceptual model that is independent of underlying technology and responsive to the dynamics of business strategy.

Abstract: A key ingredient in the design and development of enterprise software systems is a precise description of the business endeavour. In practice the engineering designs for corporate systems are surprisingly poorly articulated due to the difficulty organisations face in clearly defining their business needs in a structured and unambiguous manner. One problem is that the notations used in business process specifications are technical in nature, notoriously complex and not particularly intelligible to business stakeholders. Further, since the business environment is highly dynamic, static documentation is quickly out-of-date and rarely reusable beyond the lifespan of any particular project. There is a constant disconnect between the fluid, evolving nature of business strategies and the brittle, rigid nature of process automation.

Abstract: An equipment insert is shown for use within a section of well pipe. The equipment insert is installed within the pipe bore at the well surface. The equipment insert is run into the bore of the well pipe and manipulated with a hand tool to actuate gripping slips and a seal ring to grip the pipe interior bore and to form a seal with the interior bore of the section of well pipe. The section of well pipe containing the equipment insert can then be made up in the well pipe string, and the well pipe string can be run into the well bore for conducting well bore operations.
