Some key points in terms of optimal business rules:

• owners
  • only one financial owner
  • only one business owner
  • only one service owner
  • they could all be the same person
  • this will enable decision making and illustrate clear roles and responsibilities
• contracts and agreements
  • one agreement can have many purchase orders
  • each purchase order should reference only one agreement
• access and authorizations
  • we want to know who has access to use what
  • but we do not want this tool to do enforcement
• products and services are being treated as separate entities
  • need to figure out what to do about services consuming other services (nested)
