After a consulting project, I presented these risk results to the CIO and his team. Soon after, we initiated a long-term business engagement.

Meeting Expectations and Business Objectives
Meeting Expectations
1. Momentarily zoom in to a couple granular examples
2. Extrapolate POC findings to a full and ongoing implementation
3. Highlight the proactive nature of this solution to get ahead of issues in
upcoming releases
4. To talk about the next steps if L’Oreal decides to move forward
Business Objectives
•Risk Mitigation: Reduce structural violations around stability and performance
that will allow the application to scale easier from 270 stores to 600.
•Increased Management Visibility: Provide a means for ongoing monitoring of
quality and governance for established architectural standards and distinguish its
capabilities over and above in-place tools.
•Reduce Delivery Cost – help the team become more efficient by reusing
frameworks, have less code re-work and a more efficient testing process

Slow Transactions - ZB51: High Execution and TwRI
 Remediating SELECT … INTO CORRESPONDING FIELDS OF by explicitly listing the
columns is straight-forward (aka “quick win”)
 OpenSQL queries inside of loops require more engineering but reducing them has a large
impact of performance

Slow Transaction– ZPA: High Database time and TwRI
 Several programming practices associated with performance issues are found across
multiple objects
 High possibility of a multiple full table scans
