Global Information Systems in the Publishing Domain: an Experience Report

Christopher Payne, Bhuvan Unhelkar

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingChapter

Abstract

This chapter discusses how globalization in the publishing domain is achieved through global information and communication systems. Global information systems (GIS) enable not only integration of applications within an organization (leading to what is known as EAI), but also enable extensive connectivity between applications across varied platforms and software domains both within and outside the organization. This timely connectivity has created tremendous opportunities for the publishing industry - increasingly dependent on split-second timings to report news - to integrate its business processes as well as devise new and innovative ways of collecting, assimilating, and disbursing information. This chapter is based on the experience of the lead author in one of Australia's largest publishing groups, John Fairfax Holdings Ltd.
