Summary: BPV - A Means to Leapfrog the Competition
Review: Enterprises that have effective business models are well positioned to execute in the current competitive business landscape. The bursting of the tech bubble to some extent illustrated the point that achieving effective ROI's from IT implementations are no longer driven by just the technology itself. Aligning people, process & technology with the strategic vision of the organization is imperative to succeed. The book contains a wealth of very timely advice needed by organizations on how technology can become an enabler to business process virtualization. This also falls in line with the current trend within enterprises in maximizing and generating additional value from existing IT investments. The case studies provided in the book provide a wealth of information on how you can achieve competitive edge by breaking the conventional barrier between technology and business. A must read for CXO's and IT/Business Strategy managers of startups, mid-size, large corporations & service providers, to leapfrog the competition and attain unprecedented heights !! Vikas Arora

Summary: Review of "The Case for Virtual Business Process"
Review: The Case for Virtual Business Processes - is an interesting review of the last "cycle" in the world of IT. While the authors make a case for "virtual business process" the text is at its most interesting as it paints a retrospective of what happened during the Dot Com era through interviews with companies that navigated the experience. The arguments are interesting, the case studies are enlightening, and the model is worthy of consideration.

Summary: The Future Coming Rapidly
Review: This new book from Cisco Press, The Case For Virtual Business Processes, may be the sleeper of the year. The authors, Martha Young and Michael Jude, have put a new slant on what happened to the dot com/dot bomb era, and how the promise of the dot com era is rapidly rushing down upon us. Simply put, and no surprise now, the dot.com era came to its end because of ludicrous and unsustainable business models. In 2004, we are embarking on a different set of requirements: Profit and Profit. This is most obviously manifested in outsourcing, as corporations have their backs to the wall to lower expenses, ushering the virtual office and other virtual business practices in. It is happening everywhere, in all fields. I left the networking world 18 months ago to go into real estate and have transformed my practice into a virtual office/virtual business. For example, I will soon use an electronic settlement room to post all documents for a transaction on the web for $4.95, rather than pay a transaction coordinator $200.00. Electronic signatures, written on a tablet plugged in to my laptop, can be faxed or emailed electronically, in addition to the normal use of electronic signatures. [...] Get this book now and know where business is going. For the last 4 months I have been pushing BPV deployment hard in every area of my business. The results already are impressive as my real estate business has really taken off!
