Trend Spotting: How to 2.0 |
The term “Web 2.0” has been commonly used to describe online experiences that extend beyond the capabilities expected in first-generation Web sites. Interactive capabilities such as social networking, wikis, and blogs have become commonplace and are increasingly being used within a business context. As companies explore how to best capture consumer interest, strengthen customer relationships, and build partner and supplier connections, corporate Web sites are evolving to deliver a next-generation Web experience and rich interactive applications that extend outside the browser to take advantage of local storage, local peripherals, and desktop application integration.
Discovering Service-Oriented Architecture |
IT departments are managing increasingly complex IT portfolios and yet as business needs change, they must still ensure that technologies remain aligned with business goals. Critical business systems such as customer relationship management (CRM) and enterprise resource planning (ERP) solutions typically operate in isolation from other critical business systems—despite the fact that business processes often span multiple applications. To obtain an end-to-end view of a complex business process, organisations need to integrate information and process silos. In the past, this has been accomplished through either time-consuming manual interventions or hard-coded solutions that are difficult to maintain.
