Introduction

The next generation of eBusiness solutions will directly impact a company's top-line growth and bottom-line performance. By using eBusiness, most organizations recognize that they can increase their effectiveness while creating improved relationships with everyone within their sphere of business.

We identify three major challenges that characterize Internet commercial applications for enterprises:

Extreme Complexity: The application environment will be exponentially more complex than traditional ERP or database centric systems. This is due to the fact that we are dealing with a potentially large numbers of companies and the future business entities within them. Compare this to simple data objects within one department of a single company - which ERP systems were intended to support.
Rapid Changes: Companies will come in and out of the Internet platform. Not only do the individual companies and their inter-enterprise environments change over time, but also the relationships that exist between the various business entities will continue to change rapidly. The challenge of change is further compounded by the ever-growing collaborative Internet application opportunities and requirements that are surfacing everyday.
High Interactivity: These applications will extensively involve interactions and collaborations between enterprises that collectively define and reach common business objectives. These interactions typically involve multiple parties and observe business policies that are inter-dependent on multiple business partners along the value-chain.

When selecting solutions for your enterprise eBusiness strategy, the underlying technology must be able to dynamically change and evolve with the needs of the market and of your business. To ensure that eBusiness implementations are successful, companies should demand a truly dynamic and integrated solution that can respond to rapid changes. Static point solutions and hard coded database centric solutions cannot meet the rapidly changing, unique needs of business conducted on the Internet today. None of the traditional approaches can offer the essential blend of speed, flexibility, customization and full integration with legacy systems, which are the four crucial ingredients for any eBusiness initiatives.

The technology and products offered by EGI address these eBusiness challenges by separating the backend application programming from the business modeling. This allows enterprises to visualize their business as a flexible business model and break through bottlenecks created by technology customization.
