Description

This course gives the students the foundation to understand the underlying technologies, building blocks, and products that are needed to build e-business
solutions including customer relationship management, e-commerce, enterprise application integration, supply chain management, and business intelligence.

The fundamental e-business technologies include those that support standard communications over the Internet (TCP/IP), support a standard user interface (HTML), support portable code (Java), and support portable data (XML). The course introduces each of these underlying e-business technologies.

The building blocks for e-business solutions include the client, network, Web server/application server, connectors, enterprise applications and data,
performance, security, and system management. For each of these building blocks, the course discusses the main issues and the options available to address these issues.

For each e-business solution, the course discusses the use of the technologies and the building blocks in building the solution as well as the common products available to build these solutions. A common example is the basis for discussing the use of technologies, building blocks and products in building solutions.

Anyone who wants to understand e-business including the underlying technologies, design building blocks, and products used to build solutions. This class is designed for a technical audience, but could be appreciated by non-technical audiences including marketing, service, business, and technical management.
