Abstract
"We expect that by 2011, midsize- and large companies will have
at least doubled the number of multienterprise integration and
interoperability projects they're managing and will be spending
at least 50% more on B2B projects, compared with 2006. We
also believe that, from 2008 to 2013, multienterprise traffic will
at least triple" (Gartner Research, 2008)
The foregoing quote shows the importance of the topic cross-organizational collaboration. When considering implementing such a collaboration, companies are facing many questions, one of them being how information technology can be employed to effectively support interoperation. In this work, we will firt of
all classify characteristics of cross-organizational collaboration. Consecutively, we will show how to classify different IT service infrastructures which support cross-organizational interaction. Furthermore existing software and services will be introduced.
