Presentation
The Boundaryless Enterprise

While tremendous gains have been made over the last thirty years, today's applications are not as flexible as promised. Service-based approaches provides a partial answer, simplifying development and reuse to provide a more flexible and agile generation of IT. However, the more granular approach this provides is eroding the walls between organisations as business processes extend to include suppliers, partners and channels.

This boundaryless environment brings new challenges and opportunities which reside in the exception rich business exception management and optimisation processes that live between existing IT solutions. These processes remain the responsibility of employees and the extended teams that they function within. Delivering on the promise of SOA requires us to extend the existing technology stack to address this unsupported functionality, integrating technologies that allow us to capture, automate and then optimise these rich interactions and processes that the boundryless environment has brought into focus.
