Approach

• Apply standards
• At the technical layer by defining re-usable
  profiles for the application of web service
  standards.
• At the semantic layer by building models from the
  same library of re-usable core components.
• Maximise Re-use
• Of integration components by providing a
  framework where all MYOB customers can leverage
  the same plug-in.
• Of community data by providing a publish once,
  discover many times registry of businesses and
  their services.
• Be practical
• Cost should be less then benefit for any business
  large or small.
• Dont expect users to buy new equipment or learn
  new things.
