If you think you understand business strategy but not technology components, this is also for you." Edward Brginsky, Chief Technology Officer, eSolutions, BEA Systems

    "In less than five years, business use of the Internet has moved from curious novelty to ubiquitous reality. It's no longer just about selling products on the Web, but moving entire business processes online for speed, flexibility and customer responsiveness. That's not always easy, and e-Enterprise offers a useful roadmap to help companies make that transformation." Clinton Wilder, Editor At Large, Information Week

    "No matter how sharp your vision of the future may be, success depends on being able to invent the business model, implement the technology, learn with every step, and start the cycle again. It takes a robust e-Enterprise methodology to do that." Don Tapsscott, author of The Digital Economy and Growing Up Digital.

    "Business-to-consumer Internet success stories have gotten a lot of attention lately, business-to-business successes less so. There are actually few companies that have learned to do either of these well. Hoque's operating model suggests there will be more, and soon." Bruce E. H. Barlag, Executive Vice President, Gartner Group
