Integration and the e-Business Portal
Overview Some e-Businesses that were successful at building brand and site stickiness via a portal ultimately failed due to poor execution in the area of integration. e-Business applications often generate unpredictable volumes of traffic that should be handled by fully automated, high-performance processes. Manual work-arounds, like printing a purchase order from the web site and keying the order into the order entry system, are hidden death traps for e-Business. Interorganizational manual handoffs, such as integration based on faxes between your fulfillment processes and your freight providers, leave gaps of uncertainty that eventually surface as e-Business operational dysfunction. Business processes themselves are changed by web-based e-Business solutions. e-Commerce business transactions often get extended over time and distance, touching a variety of different systems, triggering various sub processes, and reaching well beyond the boundaries of the enterprise. Companies must monitor and manage the process flow as it crosses the various systems that contribute to the overall process. Business process integration is required to handle the volume of transactions and ensure responsiveness.
