The typical IT organization faces a difficult
dilemma. Its mission is to create business solutions that create
competitive advantage, yet a large portion of its resources are
consumed with infrastructure software integration, customization,
configuration, and maintenance issues. Solving these IT

Enterprise System. This paper examines approaches of migration to
the Java Enterprise System and provides a number of real-world
migration examples.
This paper, written by the Yankee Group, takes
a look at the trend toward subscription-based acquisition of IT
solutions and services. It examines the impact this larger trend is

negotiators. It also profiles the Sun Java Enterprise System
subscription-based acquisition model and integrated software system
as an example of the change that is occurring.
This paper provides an insight to the cost
savings the Sun Java Enterprise System brings to the IT Project
Lifecycle. The IT Project Lifecycle is a model that consists of
9-phases, each defined and analyzed by Forrester, that every IT
project will go through during its lifetime. The benefits derived
from the new and radical approach of the Java Enterprise System to
reducing infrastructure software cost and complexity are applied to
each phase of this model and the resulting cost savings are
presented.
This paper provides an overview of Sun's new
radical approach to reducing infrastructure software cost and
complexity. It describes the three industry changing elements that
define the Sun Java Enterprise System -- resulting in simple,
predictable, affordable infrastructure software that accelerates
business service deployment.
