The Virtual Enterprise
Virtual Enterprise
A Joint Venture then represents an instance of a
Virtual Enterprise in which a legal entity is
created to own the collaborative information
14
Requirements on Collaboration Solution

• A common, identified and agile view on partner
  roles, product information and work processes for
  the development project
• A neutral partnership collaboration platform with
  respect to political, technical (vendor and
  system), internal and external aspects
• Partner to partner isolation via intermediate
  services communicating using neutral data
  structures
• Accessibility via commodity technology as web
  browsers to collaboration environment assets
