Back Cover Copy
e-business is a project. Manage it. Making e-business promises is easy, delivering it is hard. Anyone can tell you what promises to make. This book will show you how to deliver on time, on budget, and with no mistake. This is a road map for e-doers not a vision statement for e-talkers.Successful e-business must combine IT expertise with sound business knowledge. Combining the two is the key to making your project profitable and getting it delivered on time. This book will bridge that divide. It will help business people understand the IT issues involved and vice versa.This is a book for realists. Yes, you could be the next internet millionaire, but you probably will not be. What you can be, if you read this book, is the human being who delivers a realistic and profitable e-business project on time and on budget."If you are contemplating introducing or modifying your company's information technology, Delivering on Your e-Promise will likely save you money and increase your probability of success."-Charles E. Scott, Professor of Economics, Loyola College in Maryland

Reader Reviews
This is one of the most impressive, information filled books I've ever read. It manages to distill all of the important issues and factors for e-business project success into less than 250 pages. While it looks like common sense advice, everything in this book is anything but common sense because I recognized one pitfall after another as the author described them, and know from experience that most are underestimated during project planning, but inevitably come back to haunt you later in the project. If you pay close attention to Chapters 4 (Main causes of e-project failure), 6 (Integration issues) and ten (Avoid pitfalls in your e-business) in particular you'll save yourself a lot of grief. Managing e-business projects cannot be done from an ivory tower. Get this book and benefit from the author's obvious experience. A perfect companion to this book is Managing E-Business Projects by Wes Balakian, Keith Young and Rajesh Veerapaneni because it goes into the nuts and bolts of project management using PMI's PMBOK as a framework.
