Enterprise Services have been proposed as a more business-friendly form of web services which can help organizations bridge the gap between the IT capabilities and business benefits of Service Oriented Architecture. However up until now there are almost no methodologies for creating enterprise services, and no lists of definite criteria which constitute a “good” enterprise service. In this pape...

New business collaboration networks use service oriented enterprise architecture to manage their inter-organizational information systems. Coupling Service orientation with enterprise architecture paradigm is very important at improving organizational performance through business process optimization. Also, system architecture promotes synergy and business efficiency for inter-organizational co...

Several developments, such as the success of cloudcomputing show that not the ownership of IT resources but their management is the foundation for sustainable competitive advantage [1]. According to [2], smart companies define how they (will) do business (using an operating model) and design processes and infrastructure critical to their current and future operations (using an enterprise archit...
