This book introduces Sybase's e-Biz Integrator (an application broker) and Process Server (a Process Flow Automation solution), and illustrates how each can be used. It is intended to be richer than marketing materials but not as dry as technical manuals. It aspires to be a swift 'read' that communicates a broad feel for what, and how, these two software products deliver results, and how you achieve this.
The target audience includes existing customers who are interested in understanding e-Biz Integrator and/or Process Server (for example, those about to work on e-Biz Integrator and Process Server projects); potential customers who want to know if e-Biz Integrator or Process Server are relevant to their needs; analysts, consultants and other third parties (such as ISVs and Systems Integrators) who want to know more fast, without buying or installing either product; plus anyone trying to get to grips with application integration in a business context - especially those who look for solutions grounded on real (product) foundations.
Charles Brett and Rick Parson are consultants, based in England and Canada respectively, who have worked extensively in the middleware arena over the past decade. This book was written out of a conviction born from experience - that too many software products suffer from being poorly explained by their creators and even more poorly understood by those obliged to listen. |
