            Abstract : 
Management of technologies with conflicting objectives requires managing complexity attributed to these objectives. An integrated system framework with information modeling using an object-oriented paradigm, is proposed for managing technological complexity in the enterprise. This integrated approach to addressing interdependent technology issue´s contrasts with commonly prescribed piecemeal prescriptive solutions
