Defining the next computing era “An enterprise whose business processes -- integrated end-to-end across the company and with key partners, suppliers and customers – can respond with speed to any customer demand, market opportunity or external threat” — Sam Palmisano, IBM Chairman and CEO
Enterprises everywhere are embracing e-business Network Era Client/Server Era Centralized Era
The data on this chart -- from the US Commerce Department -- demonstrates how enterprises have made IT an integral part of business over the past 40 years. • The history of the IT industry has been defined by three computing eras: the centralized era, the client/server era, and the networked or e-business era. • Enter IBM’s System/360, which launched the centralized era of information technology in business. In this era, the prevailing business strategy was automation of back office processes, and the computing model was all about centralized computing. In other words, mainframe computing. • By the mid-80s and early 90s, the PC and client/server revolutions had taken hold--enabling individuals to manage many of their daily tasks more quickly, and accelerating the staffing shift in many companies toward knowledge workers over clerical workers. The computing model supported the stand-alone applications and processes that characterized this era.
Now, we are moving into a new era, the era of a services-led global economy. In this new age, the old needs of businesses haven’t disappeared -- but they are joined by a new set. The main criterion for competitive success now is responsiveness: the ability to adapt and respond rapidly to ever-more-volatile demand, coming from an ever-wider global marketplace. • We are now in the early stages of the network era. Enterprises are focused on integrating diverse processes (legacy and new), transforming the entire enterprise, creating new business models, and realizing business value such as increased profitability. • In the network era, our customers are continuing to demand e-business and are striving to realize the full value of enterprise integration.

Phase 1... access to digital information. • This was all about publishing content, most of it of the static “look-up” variety. • Simple database queries allowed us to do things like check a bank account, look at airline flight information. Pretty easy to get in here. All an enterprise needed was a home page. All an individual needed was a browser. • Phase 2... real transactions... real e-business. • Don’t just check a flight departure time... book your seat. • Don’t just look at your bank account... move some money This requires more than a Website. This takes behind-the-scenes integration of technologies and business processes.
Phase 3: On Demand Business • IBM called it the “Advanced” phase and now defined it as “on demand.” • This was where everything was headed; and that not that many people had gotten there yet. • Most importantly, this is about end-to-end integration -- of the processes within the enterprise, as well as all the relationships and transactions that anchor that enterprise in markets and industries.
