Abstract
Information Technology is widely accepted as a key enabler of Business Process Reengineering (BPR). While all elements of IT contribute to the success of BPR, networking contributes probably more than any other component. In this paper we highlight the contribution of networking to help reengineer organizational processes. Through a series of real world examples, we present our argument. The cases illustrate the role of telecommunication networks, data networks and integrated networks towards reengineering. The emerging technologies of Internet, Intranet and Extranet and their role are outlined in the paper.
