 | | Although some G2000 organizations will be inclined to retain increasingly massive application suites from single vendors (hyperapplications - e.g., SAP, Oracle) to automate their business processes, a growing number will seek business process agility and efficiency through the integration of diverse and more granular applications and components. |
 | | In particular, G2000 enterprises involved in mergers, acquisitions, and divestitures (see SIS Deltas 945 and 946), as well as organizations with less centralized management models (see SIS Delta 987), will pursue the latter approach. |
 | | Through 2007/08, for G2000 ITOs pursuing business process agility and efficiency through integration of their diverse applications and components, their foremost integration challenge will center on the transfer of significant portions of core business process execution and control from the application to the integration infrastructure service layer. |
