Overview

Get an inside look at how successful businesses build their e-business architectures. In this book, four IBM e-business experts capture years of experience into easy-to-follow guidelines. Deliberately focusing on Business patterns, Integration patterns, and Application patterns, the authors share with you proven architectural patterns that can help get you up and running quickly, while at the same time reducing your risks. Because today's economy demands that e-business initiatives emphasize profitability and return on investment, the authors also offer guidance on methods to minimize cost, yet ensure quality.

Audience:

Business executives who must determine which e-business solutions to implement and are conscious of the key drivers (such as time to market and cost to implement) that govern implementing these solutions
CIOs and CTOs who are responsible for implementing e-business solutions and choosing the architecture that will provide the underpinnings of these solutions
Technical professionals (including ISVs, Web integrators, system integrators, and solution architects) who need to translate complex business requirements into applications that can be implemented using specific technologies
Academics who wish to understand the implementation approaches that practitioners use to implement e-business solutions

Level:
Introductory, Intermediate, Advanced
