Rapid evolution in e-commerce has changed the nature of competition. To be
successful, businesses today must support many types of transactions, both across the marketplace (among prospects, customers, suppliers and trading partners) and across diverse endpoints (between people using personal computers and pervasive devices, such as cell phones and personal digital assistants, or PDAs, and the e-business infrastructure that includes Web servers, transaction platforms and business systems). Competing today depends on how fast you can add new services and extend existing capabilities cost-effectively to meet changing market needs and to grasp new opportunities.
Industry observers now say that choosing best of breed—selecting and
integrating as many as a dozen packages—is obsolete. It takes too long and
requires too much custom development to keep up with a rapidly shifting business environment. Instead, to stay agile, e-businesses need to adopt
comprehensive platform and development technologies for e-commerce, like
IBM WebSphere ® software, rather than collections of separate technologies
from multiple vendors.
This white paper explains why e-businesses adopting the WebSphere
software platform minimizes the risk of quickly falling behind because of what appears to be fundamental technical limitations, scalability limits and
obstacles to rapid development when using WebLogic 6.0 from BEA Systems,Inc.
