Abstract |
Large companies have begun planning infrastructural and organizational responses to the increased velocity of business change and internet-accelerated data flow. This real-time responsiveness is long overdue and will make corporations more able to flex with changing business requirements. However, we believe that many real-time enterprise initiatives will fall short of their goals because they fail to account for a major change in how giants like Airbus, GE, IBM, Merck, and Toyota operate on a planetary level. In this report we introduce, discuss, and analyze:
- The global market forces driving the creation of world enterprises.
- The legal implications of being a supranational company.
- The real world enterprise applications that already exist in your portfolio.
- Return on investment for these critical applications.
- The organizational, process, and quality implications for real world enterprises.
Who will benefit from this report?
To deliver on the promise of the real world enterprise, companies will have to simultaneously ship digital deliverables, products that embed multilingual content, internal dataflows, and inter-company communications across international boundaries. This effort will put a strain on development, marketing, and support organizations long accustomed to simple product roll-outs within a single national market. Executives, planners, and strategists need to look beyond simple real-time enterprise nostrums to understand the greater complexities of operating in a global, fast-moving market.
Who led the research?
This report effort was led by Don DePalma, who has been studying the implications of the web-enabled, globe-girding corporation since the mid-1990s. He authored critical reports such as “Software sans frontières” (1996) and “Strategies for Global Sites (1998) well before global business became a catchword in large accounts.

Benefits |
In General:The real world enterprise will put a strain on development, marketing, and support organizations long accustomed to simple product roll-outs within a single national market. This report will help companies think about new challenges such as the need to simship digital deliverables, products that embed multilingual content, internal dataflows, and inter-company communications across international boundaries.
|
For Buyers:Multinational companies -- and those that want to go global -- will be able to benchmark their plans and activities against those of other companies, learn how content and code must morph to support their projects, and read about the best practices of companies, technologies, and business process outsourcing services that can help them on this journey.
|
| For Suppliers:Suppliers of language services, language-enabling technology, and enterprise systems will learn about the opportunities to help companies extend their operations from domestic to international operations. |
