Constructing the e-Business
Architecture: Enterprise Apps
The e-Business design built on an
application architecture has become a
boardroom topic as more companies
than ever integrate application to
streamline operations and compete in
the e-commerce arena.
3 Best practices of e-Business
architecture
• To create a clear map of the company’s
strategy for the next 2 years for to
use it to manage all aspects of the
company’s application development
activities.
• To generate a seamless application
strategy, one that leaves no holes for
customers to complain.
• To collect,interpret,and assimilate good
information about the technical and
marketplace uncertainties.
Application design and business
design are now irrevocable linked.
According to Bill Gates,” Virtually
everything in business today is an

undifferentiated commodity, except
how a company manages its
information. How you manage
information determines whether you
win or lose.”
Modern business designs are

constructed from well-integrated

modular building blocks called
enterprise applications,which provide
common platform for apps in a given
functionality,such as
ERP,CRM,SCM.These enterprise apps
from the backbone of the modern
enterprise.

HOW DOES INTEGRATED
FULFILLMENT WORK?
 When an order is placed on the web-
site, co. uses an integrated packing and
shipping system via an online
connection to the order management
system.

 This system monitors the in-stock

status of each item ordered, processes
the order, and generates warehouse
selection tickets and packing slips.

 Once picking and packing are done, the

package is sent via ups to the
 NEW COMPETITIVE
CONDITIONS

Ø Deregulation and the growing demand

for better customer service began to
strain the limits of its existing apps.
Ø
Ø Pending regulatory changes leading to
a far more deregulated and
competitive environment forced the
company to reevaluate its business
processes, especially its customer

FAST MOVING
COMPETITORS

Ø Companies forced to scrutinize their existing

application architecture after an M&A
transaction.
Ø
Ø They also have to determine whether they
are capable of competing with new
entrants.
Ø
Ø And have to quickly find out completely
flexible and scalable e-business
architecture which allows them to
PROBLEMS CAUSED DUE TO
LACK OF INTEGRATION
• Focusing too much on efficiency and cost cutting

• Rehashing competitors ideas
• Pursuing drawn-out
• Frequently reorganizing -
 - weak executive involvement
• too much emphasis on outside consultants for
execution
 - bleeding-edge technology for incremental
 benefits
• Greater inefficiencies due to longer
wait times for information - without
automated link to current inventory data, the
customer sales representative can’t tell
customer in a timely manner whether the item
ordered is available in the warehouse, is
scheduled to be manufactured, and if
scheduled for manufactured, when it would be
available.
•
• Increase human errors due to manual
exchange of data - Without or lack of
information system, each of the processes is
disaggregated. The disaggregated processes
need manual exchange of date. During the
exchange, data would be error or accuracies.
• Increase costs due to a large number
of manual management - without
information system integration, a customer
service process would be referred to the
following processes: warehouse, factory,
accounting, marketing, credit department, even
the purchasing or vendor. But if this process
were integrated, all of the steps would be
determined in a matter second. So
disaggregation will increase costs due to a
large number of manual management.
• Lack of documentation of business
process –
– Slower response to issues
– Increased development time
– Lost Revenue

ENTERPRISE RESOURCE
PLANNING

integrates internal and external
management information across an
entire organization, embracing
finance/accounting, manufacturing,
sales and service, etc.
• ERP systems automate this activity with
an integrated software application.
• Its purpose is to facilitate the flow of
information between all business
functions inside the boundaries of the
organization and manage the
connections to outside stakeholders.

active and passive delivery of

databases, providing enterprise
and managers with timely answers

• The objective of these apps is to turn
the enormous amounts of available
data into knowledge that
companies can use.
