Product Description
Product Description
XML facilitates the ability to share information and data using a common format. This means that different parts of information can be accessed and used in many different ways without the need to change the way that information is processed. This text provides an insight into the rapid changes occuring in the business environment. It assumes all businesses will use XML in the future and so business managers will have to know the ins and outs of how to use and conduct business in this format.
From the Back Cover
Master the very latest e-commerce solutions
XML is one of the most promising emerging technologies to hit the marketplace. XMLExtensible Mark-Up Languagehas the potential to speed up the development of e-business integration and application efforts. Indeed, the language is so exciting that corporate support for XML is unprecedented and includes such heavyweights as IBM, Microsoft, Adobe, and Sun Microsystems. These major corporations are rapidly developing applications to leverage XML capabilities for data interoperability.
In this volume of the Emerging Business Technology Series, Solomon H. Simon presents a practical business overview of XML. This excellent "no-code" guide to XML explains clearly what XML is, where it came from, and how it can revolutionize the e-business world. Here, in accessible, reader-friENDly language, Simon discusses the advantages and challenges of using XML to solve your own business integration issues.
"Hank Simon carefully explains the technical subtleties of XML in a clear business context, providing a valuable resource for IT specialists and business managers alike. Read on; I'm confident you'll get the synthesis of technical and business viewpoints that is so important for all of us to have these days."
From the foreword by Justin Kestelyn, Editor-in-Chief, Intelligent Enterprise
"Dr. Simon presents a bold, imperative business case for the potential of eXtensible Markup Language (XML). He presents a compelling case for the modern business manager to use XML in e-business to save and earn billions of dollars for their companies."
Jack D. Davidson, MBA, Information Technology Architect
"Don't read this book and expect to learn 'How' to code with XML, but read it to find out 'Why' your corporation should already be using XML...' A great read which demonstrates a comprehensive understanding of the next logical step in the evolution of Web technology."
R. Anne HENDrick, Specialist, Information Technology
"Solomon H. Simon has created a nontechnical introduction to the advantages of XML for managers and executives. Dr. Simon explains how executives can use this knowledge to make intelligent decisions about applying XML to effectively leverage the benefits of this new technology in their business."
Max Tunnicliff , Senior Specialist, Lockheed Martin
"Finally, a book that answers the question, 'What's XML good for?' Simon's book tells businesses why they need XML and provides a solid foundation for successful deployment.

A business approach
25 April 2001
Format:Paperback
If you are in business and IT, read this book. Go elsewhere to learn how to program XML. Read this to learn WHY you need to understand XML, its applications, its potential -- make a wise, informed business decision (and if you don't use it, be prepared to explain why not).

Practical
20 Mar 2001
Format:Paperback
So many XML books today are either too high level or too low level. This book gives a very good forest level view of what XML is, why it's such a big deal, where it's going, and how it can help my organization.

How to succeed with XML
28 Mar 2001
Format:Paperback
If you need to explain XML to management read this book or if you are management read this book. Solid information with just the right slant to make the impact of XML understandable for the non technical person. The snippets of humor interspersed between the chapters kept a grin on this reader's face as the material was absorbed!
