Companies using client/server technology are discovering that the demands made on their IT infrastructures are increasing. "Infrastructure" is the combination of networks, systems and services that allow the delivery of these applications in an enterprise, often on a global scale. This book shows readers how to use the techniques of business in managing all aspects of an IT infrastructure, revealing how technology, process and people need to interrelate in order to cope with the complexity and economics of managing infrastructures, with architecture playing a strategic and integrative role.

4.0 out of 5 stars
Relevant and practical,
By Brian Wright (Oak Brook, IL USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Strategic Enterprise Management: An IT Manager's Desk Reference (Paperback)
Finally, I have found a comprehensive discussion of management processes and methodologies with relevance to architects, executives, middle-tier managers and engineers. I found the practical strategies discussed for dealing with such topics as process architecture, outsourcing and people issues to be well balanced and detailed. For a corporate architect/manager still trying to make sense of the new "Enterprise", this book provides an excellent theoretical and practical guide. This book is not necessarily for the .COM Enterprise manager, but will help senior Corporate IT professionals put some sanity back in the current management process. A new desk reference requirement.
5.0 out of 5 stars
Timeless tools,
By joe krowten (Denver CO USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Strategic Enterprise Management: An IT Manager's Desk Reference (Paperback)
I came across this book only very recently, but wish I had seen it back when it was first published. This is one of the most visionary treatments of the whole area of IT management written by someone who has been in the trenches. Although some of the technology Chapters are slightly dated for the pure web play, the basic principles and tools are still spot-on and appropriate for IS consultants such as myself. I found the early Chapters - on organization, people, processes and strategic tools very relevant to problems I am asked to solve in assignments, also the ideas of architecture frameworks, event classification, and visualization are timeless.
