ISP Survival Guide: Strategies for Running a Competitive ISP |
Introducing the ISP bible for the networking and telecomm industry. To put it mildly, cyberspace business is booming. There are presently more than 6,000 Internet Service Providers worldwide, and about 600 new providers are springing up each quarter. However, the ISP business is still very young and without precedent-no how-to manual or foolproof start-up recipe exists for those who want a piece of the action. As ISPs mount an ambitious challenge against phone companies for control of the USD300 billion telecommunications market, they need a step-by-step planning guide to creating, developing, and profiting from a solid service provider business. Networking pioneer Geoff Huston describes the technologies, business practices, and policies required to be a formidable player in the ISP business, covering architecture principles, network management, infrastructure, business models, public policy, future growth, and much more. ISP (Internet Service Provider) companies provide access for end-users to the Internet. ISPs range from small, regional providers to larger, well-known companies like America Online and Sprint. The Wiley Networking Council's mission is to fill an important gap in networking literature by publishing books that put technology into perspective for decision makers who need an implementation strategy, a vendor and outsourcing strategy, and a product and design strategy. It is comprised of four of the most influential leaders of the networking community: Lyman Chapin: Founding trustee of the Internet Society; chief scientist of BBN, a division of GTE Internetworking. Scott Bradner: Trustee of the Internet Society; Director of the Harvard University Network Switching Test Lab; Network World columnist. Vinton Cerf: Founding trustee of the Internet Society, often called the "Father of the Internet;" Senior Vice President, MCI/WorldCom. Ed Kozel: CTO and Senior VP for Product Development, Cisco Corporation,
Running a successful Internet Service Provider (ISP) requires excellence in many areas. Good ISPs must keep on top of all the technical issues involved in high-traffic Internet connectivity. They must deal with the public, including its most technically incompetent segments. On top of all that, they have to make a profit in a competitive business environment. ISP Survival Guide does a good job of explaining all sides of the industry. Rather than tie his book to the specifics of particular hardware and software products, Geoff Huston explains ISP technologies without implementation details. He writes at great length about the various interior and exterior routing protocols without mentioning specific products. He also covers the pros and cons of various data-transmission technologies, including ATM, ISDN, Frame Relay, and other systems, in addition to analog modems. Huston pays attention to quality of service issues--a subject that is not well covered elsewhere. ISP Survival Guide also provides insight into the business aspects of running an ISP. Huston provides specific dollar figures that you can use to estimate capital equipment purchase costs and per-account annual maintenance costs. The book also contains advice on doing business with other providers that you're connecting to. --David Wall

B2B Exchanges : The Killer Application in the Business-to-Business Internet Revolution |
In B2B Exchanges, the authors analyse the nature of the revolution that is occurring in 'Business-to-Business' (B2B) transactions as a result of the recent acceptance of the Internet by corporations. The book makes the startling claim that 'the Internet changes everything in B2B' and that most corporations will have to reinvent themselves over the next five years to remain competitive in the new economy. B2B exchanges, which are developing at Internet speed, are catalysts for this change and represent a tectonic shift in the way that business buy and sell from each other. The authors explain the development of these new exchanges and why such exchanges are the Killer Application in the B2B Internet Revolution. Table of Contents: Contents Preface Foreword Part 1 - Defining the B2B Market Space Chapter 1 What are B2B Exchanges? Chapter 2 B2B is Where the Profits Will Be, On-line Chapter 3 Why B2B Exchanges are Developing on the Internet Chapter 4 "It's NOT About the Technology, Stupid!" Part II - Anatomy of a B2B Exchange Chapter 5 Membership and Ownership Models Chapter 6 Trading Models Chapter 7 Strategic Partnership Models Chapter 8 Revenue Models Part III - Seven Secrets for Success for B2B Exchanges Chapter 9 Secret #1 Stay Focused - Specialize on a Vertical Chapter 10 Secret #2 Play to Win - the Need to Dominate Chapter 11 Secret #3 Maintain Commercial Neutrality Chapter 12 Secret #4 Ensure Transparency and Integrity Chapter 13 Secret #5 Add Value by Building a Virtual Community Chapter 14 Secret #6 Make the Right Strategic Partnerships Chapter 15 Secret #7 Operate as a Virtual Corporation Part IV - Future of B2B Chapter 16 2B or Not 2B On-line?
Business-to-business cyberdeals--or B2B transactions, in the parlance of the New Economy--are widely seen as the Next Big Thing. But Arthur Scully and William Woods, securities and investment professionals who have specialized in B2B for the past four years, believe the Net itself encourages an offshoot that will ultimately revolutionize the procurement, pricing, and distribution of goods and services. Today's technology enables complementary commercial enterprises to participate in a kind of online bazaar, they contend, "where multiple buyers and sellers can come together in a virtual trading space." In B2B Exchanges, they describe the makeup of several such existing networks and analyze the phenomena for prospective participants. To do so, they focus on four primary derivations: Trading Hubs ("buyer and seller communities for multiple verticals that have not yet embraced the Internet"), Post and Browse Markets ("a sophisticated Bulletin Board ... where parties negotiate a deal between themselves"), Auction Markets ("in which multiple buyers or sellers bid competitively on a contract") and Fully Automated Exchanges (offering "centralized ... competitive bidding between multiple buyers and sellers, with automatic matching of orders"). Recommended for businesses that appreciate the possibilities and want to take early advantage of them. --Howard Rothman

e-Enterprise: Business Models, Architecture, and Components |
How does a company succeed in the volatile world of e-commerce? The real challenge is to fully leverage the potential of the Internet as a means to building an agile enterprise. In e-Enterprise Faisal Hoque provides a business vision and a technological method for building an agile, electronically-based enterprise using reusable components. Aimed at CIOs, CEOs, and technologists alike, e-Enterprise explores the strategic challenges faced by companies as they embrace business in the networked economy of the future. It takes a step beyond the simple transaction-based e-commerce model and shows how a business can truly take advantage of rapidly evolving technology.
Aimed at any manager or executive seeking to understand the present and future of e-Â commerce, e-Enterprise: Business Models, Architecture, and Components is a leading-edge guide to how the Internet will continue to transform the way any company does business. While there are any number of books describing the Internet revolution, this title focuses on the ways in which traditional "brick and mortar" companies can reengineer themselves to take advantage of both business-to-customer and business-to-business e-commerce. The author's perspective from both the new world of Internet startups and larger, more established companies provides a valuable edge here. While certain sections make fairly heavy use of e-jargon (for example, terms like e-ROI and e-Vision), there is much to glean here for any manager struggling to make sense of it all. The author identifies future directions for improving the efficiency of your organization through e-commerce, and how to improve customer relationships through the Internet. This book offers many high-level "critical success factors" for implementing changes using e-Â commerce within your organizational structure. Later chapters look at some of the technology behind the Internet revolution, including various standards bodies that will help integrate business-to-business e-Â commerce (like CommerceNet) as well as application servers and component technologies (like CORBA, DCOM, and Enterprise JavaBeans [EJBs]). In all, this book identifies key terms, strategies, and technologies that will be required knowledge for conducting business successfully online. It can be read profitably by anyone seeking to understand how e-Â commerce can streamline business processes and transform traditional organizations. --Richard Dragan Topics covered: e-Enterprise basics, brochureware, e-Commerce, e-Business, e-Applications, business-to-consumer (B-to-C) and business-to-business (B-to-B) e-commerce, business and purchasing processes, e-Tailing, consumer portals, customer care and management, electronic bill payment (EBP), virtual marketplaces, procurement and resource management, value chains, e-Transformation, e-Enterprise methodology, e-ROI and e-Measurement, real-time product design, marketing, product assembly, distribution and customer support, architectural considerations for e-Enterprise, critical success factors, e-Data, e-Networks, industry standards for e-Applications: CommerceNet, RossettaNet, Open Financial Exchange, security, user profiling, searching, transaction processing, user notification, reporting and analysis, workflow management, client and server components, application servers, CORBA, DCOM and Enterprise JavaBeans (EJBs), applications servers, enterprise application integration (EAI) overview, UML, and XML.

Architects of the Web: 1,000 Days that Built the Future of Business |
"A terrific book that captures the explosion of creativity and business evolution at the center of the Internet phenomenon. A tantalizing mix of diverse players with utopian visions, animated by equal parts aggression and delight. A true saga of our time."-James F. Moore author, The Death of Competition; Chairman, Geo Partners Research Inc.
Architects of the Web presents the dynamic history of the Web's creation and evolution-as well as its emergence as a dynamic business tool-through revealing profiles of its architects, the brilliant minds who have helped thrust the Web onto desktops and corporate agendas around the world. A diverse, ambitious group, the architects of the Web are:
* Marc Andreessen, Netscape
* Ariel Poler, I/PRO
* Rob Glaser, Progressive Networks Andrew Anker, HotWired
* Kim Polese, Marimba
* Halsey Minor, C/NET
* Mark Pesce, VRML
* Jerry Yang, Yahoo!
Robert Reid explores the history of the Net from a business perspective--how a communication system nominally built for national defense and in effect taken over by education and research came to erupt as the most important medium since television--and with greater speed and intensity than any communication medium ever. Each chapter examines the Web's business development through the story of one of its pioneers--including Marc Andreeson of Netscape, Mark Pesce of VRML, Jerry Yang of Yahoo!, Halsey Minor of CNET, and more. Its an exciting story of frantic activity in a whirlwind environment and of the individuals who rode the tornado to success.
