Enterprise Integration in the User Industries - Needs and Current Solutions

The increasing pace of business change is emphasising the need to reconfigure business products, services, organisational structures, processes and even whole industries, where products can be created, delivered and abandoned in a fraction of the current time frame. The convergence of computers and communications technologies has provided the enterprise with new opportunities to redefine value chains, human roles, organisations and business processes. Information and Communication Technology (ICT) will be a critical enabler for the future enterprise and will be strongly needed to meet the resulting reconfiguration requirements in a much shorter time.
