you want to create a software application that uses web architecture,

the user's requirements (*.ppt),
work out the logic
(*.ppt)
and produce
a model (*.ppt).

problem before.
Using
a combination of business
design patterns (*.ppt)
and detailed process modelling, you can get to the root causes
and start implementing a solution.

profitable.
