Abstract: Abstract Every enterprise has the challenge of establishing a stable and competitive environment. In most enterprises, information plays a key (if not critical) role. Establishing the best fitting information technology could break or catapult an enterprise to the next level. In today’s competitive marketplace, the proper mix of information technologies can provide a competitive advantage for an enterprise. The key to gaining a competitive advantage through the use of information technologies is the proper fit and the compatibility of only the multiple information technologies needed by the enterprise. In some cases, the “best of breed” information technology does not equate to the best “fit” for any particular enterprise. In this chapter, we discuss existing and emerging information technologies that enterprises can explore and possibly deploy in their environments. We also present an enterprise’s exploration of best-fit information technologies.
