No one doubts the importance of enterprise information. However, with the development of computer technology, heterogeneous systems have become barriers to information exchange. If enterprises are required to provide services On Demand, we need to fundamentally ensure the effectiveness and consistency of enterprise information systems and resources in the campaign.
EBOD is embodied in the development direction of DB2 products and technologies. It should include open, information integration, content management, autonomous computing functions, virtualization, and other important features.
If the enterprise system is upgraded by rewriting the code, the information resources in the past cannot be used, which is a huge waste. This requires enterprises and users to maintain a rational mind when selecting products and technologies, prepare for the future, and select products with foresight. Or, if the system goes online and runs, its resources can be referenced by other systems and can be integrated by subsequent software systems, this requires that enterprise databases have two features: openness and information integration. At the business level, EBOD ensures that the business changes with the demand, while DB2 ensures that the E-commerce system changes with the business changes at the database level.
In terms of openness, if we want to make full use of the original information resources without modifying the original software system, the "Open Standards" is crucial. Only in this way can users select more competitive companies. If there is no openness, the software used by the user will be blocked in a strange form and cannot be inherited, so the user's choice will prove to be less forward-looking in the future.
"Choosing DB2 in EBOD is more about the foresight of DB2 in technology ." -- Yin danling
When you choose a company that provides software and technology to you, an important criterion is to provide public standards. This means that even if the company does not exist, the standard is the standard of other mainstream enterprises, users can find "accessories" to change or upgrade. Today, openness has become the mainstream of the industry. This trend provides "insurance" for everyone in the information industry ". From the perspective of risk control, the risks of enterprises providing services should be shielded from the operation of their own companies as much as possible.
In terms of content management, enterprises have a large amount of data, reports, documents, and enterprise portal data, which are formed at various stages of the enterprise and stored in software systems developed in various years. The biggest characteristics of these systems in the operating system, management software system, and database system may be that the system heterogeneity and unstructured data account for a considerable proportion. According to statistics, 60% of the company's information is displayed in an unstructured form. The value of management support for unstructured data is obvious. The integration of various data in a heterogeneous environment allows enterprises to use various resources in various complex architecture environments today and in the future.
