Leading Edge Thought for Future Business/Government 2002-05-22
It is always a pleasure to read a well written book in a leading edge arena and that's exactly what this book provides. With the potential for myself to be involved with Test and Evaluation (T&E) in Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) I was looking for a book that captured the latest thinking for Enterprise Architecture (EA) and had the vision of what the future held in this fast paced area of business. Chorafas, one of the most prolific writers and orchestrators of future thought, provides numerous real world examples to document the complex integration problems and a response to evolutionary trends. Being on Temporary Duty (TDY) in the Austin, TX area it was somewhat serendipity to see a front page story in the local newspaper about Dell Computers vision of the future. Dell uses EA extensively. Any senior decision-maker in private industry or government that's not familiar with most of the concepts captured in this book is doing a disservice to himself and the organization he/she leads. Nanotechnology, optics, and biological frontiers are all covered with the latest information and then linked to the most advanced applications, tools and methods available to maximize return on investment (ROI) for as Chorafas notes several times..."cost matters". One of the highlights is the numerous graphs and models to capture complex thoughts with relative simplicity.
