Michael,
I don’t agree. All services are collaborations but not all forms of collaboration are services. Likewise all services may be business “products” but not all
products are services.
Examples:
-
I collaborate with partners, in different configurations for different projects, and together we provide a service to a client – we do not provide
a service to each other.
-
I produce widgets and sell them to customers. I’m not providing a service, I’m providing a product.

Subject: [soa-rm-ra] about "service-oriented business collaborations"
Folks,
I am in the conversation with James Bloomberg and has found that the _expression_ "service-oriented business collaborations" is not his and it is not even Lomow's one; it is our creature, and it is agly.
Here is nothing personal but if a business collaboration is not oriented on service, it does not exist (by the definition of collaboration). Alternatevly, please, give me only one example of business collaboration that would not be oriented on servicing either
partners or end-clients. Servicing is the only way how any business makes its revenue.
Thanks,
- Michael
