Description
Information and Process Integration in Enterprises: Rethinking
Documents
is a bold attempt to address information and process integration issues as a single body of research and practice. This book has identified the concept of
documents
as a common thread linking the integration issues. Documents, after all, are representations of information, along with representations of the
usage
of the information contained therein. Rethinking the role of documents is therefore central to (re)engineering enterprises in the context of information and process integration.
The chapters of this book are based on papers presented at the `International Working Conference on Information and Process Integration in Enterprises (IPIC '96)', held at MIT on November 14 and 15, 1996. The chapters cover a range of issues: from the future role of documents in enterprise integration, to emerging models of business processes and information use, to practical experiences in implementing new processes and technologies in real work environments.
Information and Process Integration in Enterprises: Rethinking Documents is suitable as a secondary text for a graduate level course on information technology.
