The following background information should be helpful in conducting your research.

In teaching about Enterprise Information Management Systems (EIMS)we take an architectural point of view. And we frame the 21st century business value of IT in terms of AGILITY. This course leverages the top five Information Technology trends --- Cloud, Big Data, Social, Mobile, and Video in the context of Collaborative Commerce business architecture. It is a strategy for the next stage of Virtual Business evolution. Collaborative Commerce business practices enable trading partners to create, manage, and use data in a shared environment to design, build, and support products throughout their lifecycle, working separately to leverage their core competencies together in a value chain that forms a virtual enterprise.

Traditionally, technology has been utilized within the "four walls" of the enterprise to facilitate improvements in business processes. With the advent of the Internet, enterprises have extended their use of information technologies to include external transactions with trading partners termed as Electronic Commerce. The emerging Virtual Business models provide the enterprise with a collaboration capability across suppliers and customers that facilitate ease of information sharing and improved decision-making. This in turn requires the development of virtual enterprise management principles with new business practices for the formation and operation of alliances with collaborative partners having a mutual interest in their shared value.

The concept of a Business Ecosystem provides a model for sustainable competitive advantage via Collaborative Commerce synergy and coopetition to develop and execute a Customer Experience Management strategy enabled by social business technology to drive a customer-centric value chain. The Collaborative Commerce architecture reflected with Use Case scenarios from the ubiquitous global multi-trillion dollar Travel industry provides the context to demonstrate the What-Why-How story via a virtual enterprise integration methodology illustrated by a virtual Visitor Information Center as an integration hub that is developed using the Iterative Incremental Implementation Roadmap as the driver of business agility as the game changing strategy.
