DESCRIPTION
Object Technology Centers (OTC) are technology transfer catalysts for the rapid development and deployment of object-oriented infrastructure. Object Technology Centers of Excellence provides guidance to those charged with managing the shift to object technology. It is the only book on the market aimed not at the project level but at the corporate level, with a focus on the infractructures necessary for a successful transition.
This book presents case histories of early adopters of OT, which can help you understand the steps your company must take-and paths it should avoid. Object Technology Centers of Excellence is recommended reading in any organization planning or transitioning to OT, not just involved with formal OTCs. The book includes practical advice for managers, members of technical staffs, and consultants.
The case histories involve some heavy hitters:
- IBM
- Wiltel
- The Travelers
- Bell Northern Research
