Book Description
'E-business Implementation' is written as a complete guide to successful e-business delivery, from both a project management and a detailed technological perspective.
E-business provides a powerful mechanism for organizations to increase productivity and lower costs. However, in order to utilise these considerable benefits, companies must ensure their e-business is implemented correctly and is appropriate to their market segment.
'E-business Implementation' provides a comprehensive guide to successful implementation and is divided into three parts:
* Part one begins with a project management structure designed to deliver successful e-business functionality within time and budget, while avoiding the high failure rates common to many technology projects.
* Part two details key concepts, technologies, products, vendors, benefits, limitations, and high-level design architectures for e-business, in a phased and risk-managed approach. These include publishing through the Internet and Intranets, portals and content management systems, transacting using e-commerce, integrating internal enterprise applications, integrating with external partners and suppliers, and responding in real-time to changing levels of demand through dynamic e-business and web services.
* Part three details a set of critical foundation technologies that must be implemented correctly for the e-business initiative to be successful. These technologies include e-business development languages such as Java, XML and .Net, hardware platforms and their operating systems, security and networking systems, the Internet Domain Name System, and Open Source technologies.
An invaluable and in-depth guide for businesses and IT professionals implementing and integrating e-business technologies and for trouble shooting existing e-business systems.A holistic approach to the latest issues facing e-business in the modern economy.Provides detailed information on Project Management, Intranets, Portals, Content Management, Transactional e-commerce, Application Server EAI, Hub and Spoke EAI, Message Bus EAI, Extended EAI, Business Process Integration (BPI), Real Time Business Intelligence, Web Services (SOAP, WSDL, UDDI), Java, XML, .Net, Hardware and Operating Systems, Security, Networking Systems, DNS and Open Source technologies.

Customer Reviews & Comments
This book is best suited for IT managers whose jobs have removed them from the details of technology, and project managers who have high level technical backgrounds, but are given e-business projects to manager. As such, don't expect to find in-depth details or revelations that would primarily interest the technical specialists who design and implement e-business solutions. If you are among the primary audience, however, this book will get you quickly up-to-speed on the key issues of every facet of the technologies and the challenges of integrating and implementing them to achieve an e-business solution. There are fifteen areas covered, the first two are contained in Part One and cover how to structure and resource an e-business project. While these two areas are somewhat general, they do address specific issues and challenges, which will prepare project managers for some of the realities of an e-business implementation project. In Section Two the project is broken into phases. These phases do not align to project milestones, but to technology areas covering major building blocks found in most e-business solutions. They follow a standard format that cover the key technologies used, and high level details about them. These areas range from publishing systems to web services. Section Three covers supporting technologies using the same format. Here the lower-level infrastructure components are covered, including development approaches, hardware platforms and operating systems, security, networking and open source. After reading this book the quasi- or non-technical manager or PM will understand the key issues and underlying technologies, and will be versed sufficiently in the technology to pose the right questions to their technical staff involved in the actual design, development and implementation.
