Landed a book deal w/Elsevier

Longtime readers of this blog know that I started it with the goal of writing a book. Well, after two years, the strategy seems to have worked. I just inked a contract with science publisher Elsevier (via their Morgan Kaufmann subsidiary) to do just that. (Champagne toast with the extended family this night...!)

I'm already having second thoughts about the title (ERP for IT: Architecting IT Governance), but my editor tells me that the title is often the last thing settled before publication. I'm also kicking around:

The IT Value Chain Enabled
Architecture and Patterns for integrating IT Governance, Solutions Delivery, and Service Management.

Thoughts?

I'll be looking for reviewers - the more the merrier - and case studies (sanitized are fine) to intersperse and liven up the narrative. If you have some suggestions, please drop me a line at charb@visi.com.

Thanks!
