A Great Discussion of eBusiness Applications,
By Adam Ergon (Salt lake City, Utah) - See all my reviews
This review is from: e-Business and Distributed Systems Handbook: Applications Module (Paperback)
This is a well written and very practical treatment of e-business applications. The key concepts are defined clearly and the main ideas are well illustrated through numerous diagrams, tables, and examples. The chapters are long but carry the discussion logically -- the author highlights the important points and breaks up the discussion with review questions that I found quite refreshing. The topics and tone of discussion is for practitioners but is quite suitable for independent learning or classroom teaching (the material is based on courses taught by the author. I like the layout. First few chapters give a very clear discussion of e-business strategies and link them to real-time enterprises, eMarkets, ERPs, CRMs, ASPs, eProcurement, supply chains, portals, mobile applications, data warehouses, data mining, and all other good names we hear about. The material in first 2 chapters is compact and in my view contains more useful information than some of the books on e-business. To complete the discussion, the author devotes an excellent and practical chapter to a step-by-step planning methodology that puts all the pieces together. This is followed by a very good and quick overview chapter on IT infrastructure and its role in converting e-business strategies into reality. The concluding chapter covers state of the art, market, and practice in EB apps. Very nice. I have read Umar's past books and am impressed by his depth and breadth of knowledge. This module and the other modules of this handbook demonstrate that he has mastered the art of presenting complex and confusing issues clearly and completely.
