Product Description
This comprehensive guide for system developers, IT managers and consultants focuses on how intranets, groupware and work flow technologies can be used to improve the efficiency of their organizations. The focus is on how to use these tools to support organization transformation through business process reengineering, continuous improvement or TQM programs. It gives practical guidelines for evaluating where these tools can be best used, selecting the right tool and managing the stages of process analysis, design and implementation.

This book goes beyond a description of the available groupware and workflow systems to explain how the development and deployment of these systems can be managed to make sure the potential is delivered.

4 out of 5 stars Good for introduction   May 16, 2000

The book is a good text book for students in the field of Information Technology. It compehensively covers the concept but is lack of the examples of real implementation.

It is also quite useful for those who are seeking for introduction of business process automation.

This book provides a very high level view of the topics covered. I'd rate it as OK for someone wanting to get an overview of workflows, groupware, or intranets. However, if you are looking for an in-depth analysis of these types of systems, it misses the mark. It's an easy read if you are just looking for a high level introductory text, though.
