Solution The architecture establishes a single communications technology as the sole or primary medium by which services can interact. Application The communication protocols (including protocol versions) used within a service inventory boundary are standardized for all services. Impacts An inventory architecture in which communication protocols are standardized is subject to any limitations imposed by the communications technology. Principles Standardized Service Contract Architecture Inventory, Service Though still delivered by different projects via different vendor platforms, these services conform to one centralized communications technology, making them technologically compatible.
