Description
Developing IT architectures that enable e-Business: the practical, concise guide!
- Key high-level principles and guidelines for e-Business architecture.
- Covers every stage of the solution-building process: the activities involved and how they fit together.
- Why e-Business architectures are fundamentally different from anything that has come before.
William J. Buffam heads up the Unisys Architectural Center of Excellence in Malvern, Pennsylvania. A graduate of the University of Manchester, his perspective of information technology has been shaped by many years of endeavor as solutions architect, software engineer, technology specialist, manager, and educator. During leisure hours, you'll likely find him soaring high in the sky on his hang glider, keeping the world in proper architectural perspective.
