What is an eXception handler ?

The technical term generally defines a programming language construct or computer hardware mechanism designed to handle runtime errors or other problems ( exceptions ) which occur during the execution of a computer program and is further described under wikipedia here.

The name historically derives from a software development paradigm that was first widely introduced in the early 1980s in object oriented paradigms of the programming language C++ with focus on producing higher software quality and the possibility of delivering more stable software products to the market. The concept was so evolutionary and helpful in manufacturing software that the paradigm became a standard for all modern programming languages.

On a further abstraction layer, business processes of organizations show lots of similarities with processes in computers and networks. Enterprise application integration Service oriented architecture (SOA) and the use of structured methods like IT infrastructure libraries (ITIL) are widely accepted as keys to success for modern business organisations. But planning and programming in the virtual as in the real world often is error-prone due to complexity and dynamics of fast changing environments, systems, markets, relationships and interfaces. Programming or planning in fast changing environment of global online markets demand concepts and mechanisms which enable you to manage exceptional situations that are not foreseen in the program or in the business plans. These situations have to be handled in a manner that the system - or in equivalence the business - can further execute the core activities and functions without crashing. Exceptional activities and sollutions are vital for evolutionary growth or consolidation in every system. Furthermore these exceptions must be handled at the lowest possible resource costs, while not disturbing the major activities and execution of the core business processes, but keeping them from crashing during consolidation or growth phases.

A good eXception handler may be
a runtime environment concept to handle special tasks,
a strategy consultant,
a business analyst,
a project manager,
a software architect,
or whatever
but
for us at least
a person who acts with a holostic perspective on a business organization.
