Glossary
In this glossary, you will find a set of terms we have defined and reused extensively in our white papers. We have tried to use as few terms as possible. When several terms relate to the same concept, we define only one term and add the others as synonyms.
- Function
Action inside a Process. A Function may reuse other Functions.
A Business Function is independent from Organization chosen by the Enterprise.
Example: “check Information entry”, “compute price”, “send message to Customer”.
Not to be confused with Organization Functions which are added to implement an Organization.
The IT Model of a Function is sometimes called a Software Service.
Most of the concepts developped on this website are further developped in our white papers. You can download any white paper freely. Please do not re-use without explicit permission.
