Designing e-Business Systems

by Joe Ellsworth

Description

In today's fast paced Internet Environment business models & requirements are evolving all the time. In addition e-business applications no longer work as a centrally planned system but are more a federation of loosely tied together systems.
They are increasingly required to integrate with Supplier & Customer systems, with front end systems and backend systems, etc. In essence the technology designs of these applications are completely changed by the time the application is actually deployed.
This course explains how to design next generation e-business applications to be resilient to this kind of change. To build systems that allow independent evolution.
To build systems that can be integrated with low cost and minimum disruption to other systems using a loosely couple adaptive architecture approach to design.
