Pilot applications  1. Information hotel  Controlling and automation of the supplier vs. client documentation management processes and related sub- processes.  Use cases: uploading, sending, receiving docs from supplier, verifying uploaded docs, verifying received docs near deadline, sending reminder messages to suppliers,...  2. Legacy applications  Location of services of partners, integration into workflows.  Use cases: maintenance of service providers, service information and configuration, tracking services, contracting and ordering services,...  3. Identity federation  Enable access to the inner infrastructure of partners within an alliance to support effective collaboration.  Use cases: collaboration setup and maintenance, role and resource management 9 WDA 2009, Čertovica, June 2-3, 2009 K.
