Collaboration-oriented Architecture

Collaboration-oriented Architecture

Collaboration Oriented Architecture is a concept used to describe the design of a computer system that is designed to collaborate, or use services, from systems that are outside of your focus of control. Collaboration Oriented Architecture will often utilize Service Oriented Architecture to deliver the technical framework.

Collaboration Oriented Architecture is the ability to collaborate between systems that are based on the Jericho Forum principles or “Commandments”.

Bill Gates and Craig Mundie (Microsoft) clearly articulated the need for people to work outside of their organizations in a secure and collaborative manner in their opening keynote to the RSA Security Conference in February 2007.

Successful implementation of a Collaboration Oriented Architecture implies the ability to successfully inter-work securely over the Internet and will typically mean the resolution of the problems that come with de-perimeterisation.
