Description
UNIX is a popular operating system making a transition from academic, research and engineering to business systems. This comprehensive analysis of UNIX describes how to develop strategies to manage the significant recent changes in the computer industry, and how to face the daunting task of delivering on the promise of UNIX and open-systems based technologies. It examines the shift occurring in business with the movement toward an open, networked enterprise organization, and discusses the key role that UNIX and Open Systems will play in facilitating this transition. Identifying areas of opportunity that should interest the business, finance and investment communities, this book is far more than a technical overview of UNIX.
