ABSTRACT

Enterprises are steadily and strategically undergoing a number of noteworthy transformations due to constant and consistent shi£s occurring in many of the business-related aspects. Enterprises are increasingly information technology (IT)-driven and solely and squarely depend on the IT improvisations and innovations to surge ahead in meeting the varying and vast needs of their customers, clients, and consumers. ­e association and alignment between business and IT is tending to be tighter. ­at means any shi£ in the IT domain and discipline has immediate and intrinsic impacts and bearings on business operations, outlooks, and o¡erings. Newer and nimbler technologies are emerging and evolving; business processes are being integrated and innovated; new products, platforms, patterns, practices, and procedures are being unearthed; and so on.
