SERVICE-BASED INTERFACE METHOD

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.
