Abstract

This paper considers Enterprise Integration (EI) as a further tool in developing business strategy and presents a methodology for its employment, including: (a) a profiling process, embracing benefits and capability, through which the EI status and potential of a business can be assessed, and (b) the em­ployment of models and standards in establishing appropriate action..

The paper concludes by describing specific RTD actions to further develop and pilot the approach.
