Your blueprint must include business and technology architectures, validated through an objective operating model and simulation to avoid costly mistakes. This book demystifies Net commerce and dissects the strategic challenges faced by companies who are embracing this new way of doing business. The author shows you how to create your blueprint, maximize return on your e-investments, and continuously re-use your strategic and architectural assets to respond in real-time to changing customer demand. For CEO's, COO's, chief information officers, chief technology officers, Net Commerce executives and entrepreneurs of all sorts, this book is where you need to begin. About The Author: Faisal Hoque, author and entrepreneur, has founded three pioneering Net Commerce companies and blazed new trails in business process automation for Fortune 1000 companies. He is the founder and CEO of enamics, an e-Enterprise modeling company. enamics, an affiliate of META Group, offers objective tools and operating models to its customers to define, visualize, simulate, and to architect an evolving e-Enterprise.

Advance Acclaim for e-Enterprise "No matter how sharp your vision of the future may be, success depends on being able to invent the business model, implement the technology, learn with every step, and start the cycle again. It takes a robust e-Enterprise methodology to do that." - Don Tapscott, Author, The Digital Economy and Growing Up Digital "The e-Enterprise methodology described in this book is providing essential guidance as we develop strategy and implementation plans to transform CompUSA to an e-Enterprise. This stuff works." - Honorio Padron, Senior Vice President and Chief Information Officer, CompUSA "The author explores the rich and rapidly evolving landscape of electronic business - a journey well worth taking." - Vint Cerf, Internet Pioneer "Whether you're creating a new e-business or using e-technology to add bandwidth to your existing business, this book is a must-read. Faisal Hoque provides an excellent conceptual framework and marries this with proven systems concepts employed by high-performing organizations. This is the recipe for rapid development of highly scalable e-systems that maximize return on investment. It should be required reading for e-business decision-makers and technologists alike." - Ron Griffin, Senior Vice President and Chief Information Officer, The Home Depot "Now, e-transformation is a dynamic that every company must master in order to succeed in today's network economy. With e-Enterprise, Faisal Hoque provides a clear, concise and actionable roadmap for how CEO's can rapidly deploy and continually refine the essentials of e-transformation in their business." - Bert Ellis, Founder, Chairman, and CEO, iXL Enterprises "In less than five years, business use of the Internet has moved from curious novelty to ubiquitous reality. It's no longer just about selling products on the Web, but moving entire business processes online for speed, flexibility and customer responsiveness. That's not always easy, and e-Enterprise offers a useful roadmap to help companies make that transformation." - Clinton Wilder, Editor At Large, Information Week "Business-to-consumer Internet success stories have gotten a lot of attention lately, business-to-business successes less so. There are actually few companies that have learned to do either of these well. Hoque's operating model suggests there will be more, and soon." - Bruce E. H. Barlag, Executive Vice President, Gartner Group "If you think you know the components of modern information technology for e-Applications but not business strategy, this is for you. If you think you understand business strategy but not technology components, this is also for you." - Edward Brginsky, Chief Technology Officer, eSolutions, BEA Systems

Summary: Highly Recommended!
Review: It's tough to pick up a magazine or turn on the television these days without someone telling you that you must turn your company into an e-company in order to survive. But once you get past these exhortations to "embrace change," it's surprisingly hard to find any practical advice on how to integrate e-commerce into your company's business plan. Therein lies the value of Faisal Hoque's e-Enterprise, which disposes of generalities and plunges headlong into an explanation of online business models, applications, architecture and tools. For the technologically challenged, this book will go down like castor oil. But if you are running a business - any business - Hoque's exhaustive blueprint to creating a true e-business will be exactly the right medicine. For that reason, we at getAbstract.com implore executives and managers to bite the techie bullet and read this book, which also will satisfy even the hardest-core geeks with its encyclopedic guide to the components that constitute the building blocks of the e-Enterprise.

Summary: Great book for the CIO/CTO level
Review: Looking for some support to help you catch up with the needs, demands, and technology of the mission critical app in an Internet-saavy company? This book provides a great resource to help put your company on the right track. Not too much depth on the technologies, but if you've heard the buzzwords, just weren't sure what they mean / do, you'll get a nice overview of things like DCOM/EJB/MTS/etc. A good read for a higher level exec.
