Realizing business components, business operations and business services

Abstract

Business components are founded on the notion that complex business organizations can be decomposed into discrete into self-functioning logical units. Decomposing an enterprise into business components facilitates a logical understanding of business design and can be leveraged to provide finer levels of detailed analysis on how it operates. This involves a range of improvements, from evaluating and validating business organization structures, extending to ways of expressing dynamic relationships among business components, and finally, influencing the IT application base and infrastructure that realize the business intent.
