new topic for discussion: shared services

[Ken Laskey <klaskey@mitre.org>]

All,

The terms “shared services” or “enterprise shared services” often turn up in my world but the concepts are typically ill-defined, the criteria  are nonexistent, and the ramifications have not been explored.  Would this group be interested in adding this as another topic of discussion (and possibly a future document) along side our current SOA ontology work?

Note: a reasonable question is what do I mean by these terms, but I’d like to establish interest rather than just generating spam.

Thanks,

Ken
