Abstract

Current market trends, global competition, and technological innovations are driving enterprises to adopt new approaches to enterprise systems. Real Time Enterprises are organizations that enable automation of processes spanning different systems, media, and enterprise boundaries. Real Time Enterprises provide real time information to employees, customers, suppliers, and partners and implement processes to ensure that all information is current and consistent across all systems, minimizing batch and manual processes related to information. To achieve this, systems for a Real Time Enterprise must be "adaptable" to change and accept "change as the process". This paper provides guidelines, associated ground rules, and an overall approach to transformation to a Real Time Enterprise.
