NEW WHITE PAPER: Actionable Business Architecture This paper, as the first one in a series of whitepapers on Business Architecture, provides a new perspective on this important subject as a confluence of strategy, operating and IT models. It also poses and answers the question of what makes Business Architecture actionable, and discusses three specific perspectives: strategy and transformation (S&T), business process management (BPM) and service oriented architecture (SOA). NEW Whitepaper: Social Commerce Defined Social Commerce is a new phenomenon that has taken the e-commerce world by storm. Unlike many technologies to emerge over the years, social commerce has had a rapid adoption. A few years ago, Facebook, Twitter, YouTube and LinkedIn were not common terms in our vocabulary. Few could have predicted how pervasive the social technologies have become not only online, but also in our daily lives. This whitepaper will focus on the definition of Social Commerce, the benefits of social commerce to retailers, the different components and how IBM has enabled Social Commerce in WebSphere® Commerce Version 7.0. |
