Ouvrage 1-55860-665-3 : DEVELOPING E-BUSINESS ARCHITECTURES: A MANAGER'S GUIDE
Developing E-Business Systems & Architectures is not another book on how the Internet is changing business or about the potential of e-commerce. The authors assume that their readers already understand these things. Rather, it is written for executives and managers of medium to large companies who are considering or are already engaged in transforming their companies into e-businesses, and especially for IT managers with responsibilities for designing and developing new corporate software systems.
This book provides managers with a road map to help them develop a strategic plan for their own transition. It also focuses on e-business architectures and software development practices that will need to change, and how the company itself must change to accommodate software development with components. Since all transformation depends upon people, there is also an emphasis on the reorganization of IT teams to support component-based development.
Features:
The authors, all of whom have previously written bestselling books on e-business, have years of experience in implementing these systems. Focus is on the development of architectures and the re-engineering of IT groups to support the development of distributed, component-based applications.
Paul Harmon is the editor of the Component Development Strategies newsletter and Senior Consultant with the Cutter Consortium. He has coauthored many books, including Understanding UML: The Developer's Guide, The Object Technology Casebook (Wiley), and the international bestseller Expert Systems: Artificial Intelligence for Business (Wiley).
Michael Rosen is Chief Enterprise Architect at Genesis Development Corporation, an IONA Technologies' Company. He has over 20 years of experience in distributed computing technologies, including transaction processing, object systems, DCE, MOM, COM, and CORBA, and he coauthored Integrating CORBA and COM Applications (Wiley).
Michael Guttman is CTO and cofounder of Genesis. He is an expert in enterprise component architectures and in the analysis and design of large-scale distributed applications and has written many articles on component and enterprise computing as well as the book The Object Technology Revolution (Wiley).
