Fully automated business collaboration remains a goal on the horizon. However, experience leads us
to believe that people-assisted enabling technologies can pave a way to this realization. Leaving aside
practical business and geo-political considerations, preventing some companies from fully embracing
extended business collaboration, we will attempt in this paper to address some of the key technical
obstacles. We then present a methodology, supporting framework and techniques that would enable the
practical realization of this on-demand collaborative business vision. |
