A method for combining the management of enterprise data along with a set
of service design principles to allow users to derive the proper set of
consistent services and structures is disclosed. The method leads to a
more consistent, higher quality, lower cost service environment. The
method also helps to standardize how companies create services, which
will result in more consistent deliverables with decreased development
time, development cost, and overall project risk. The method also
promotes building a smaller set of highly reusable services, rather than
a large set of single-use services, providing significant savings on
service maintenance costs and high opportunities for cost avoidance
through reuse.
