Migrating to Open Systems: Taming the Tiger provides, in a readable and lively form, everything an information technology (IT) executive needs to know about moving towards open computing systems. Daniel R. Perley's book is highly practical, and takes the reader clearly through each stage of the 'migration' to next-generation technology, explaining how this important step can help an organization to achieve its objectives.

The whole process is accompanied by 'plain English' translations, making the information fully accessible to the computer-illiterate, as well as IT professionals. Practical examples and case studies are included throughout, as are the problems and pitfalls, as well as the pleasures, inherent in the 'taming' of open systems. Special features: a step-by-step guide to the move to open computing systems and open system interconnection; written for the IT professional, but full of 'plain English translations', accessible even to the computer-illiterate; examples, case studies and common pitfalls included throughout; written by a practitioner with first-hand experience of turning open systems theory into practice.Editorials
