Solution Services for multiple solutions can be designed for delivery within a standardized, enterprise-wide inventory architecture wherein they can be freely and repeatedly recomposed. Application The enterprise service inventory is ideally modeled in advance, and enterprise-wide standards are applied to services delivered by different project teams. Impacts Significant upfront analysis is required to define an enterprise inventory blueprint and numerous organizational impacts result from the subsequent governance requirements. Principles Standardized Service Contract, Service Abstraction, Service Composability Architecture Enterprise, Inventory   An enterprise service inventory establishes an enterprise-wide architectural boundary that promotes native interoperability and recomposition among all services.
