Abstract
Enterprises cooperate more extensively with other enterprises in various forms. To enable the cooperation of multiple organizations in supply chains or virtual enterprises, configuration and set-up tools need to define the relations between partnering enterprises. In the one-of-a-kind industry, enterprises collaborate within a Virtual Enterprise (VE). For the definition of relationships among partners in a VE, standard project management ‘tools’ can be used. EXtended Relationship Management (XRM) services define the relationships among partners in a VE. These services need to support a network view, viral effects, many-to-many relations, and ‘configuration’ of the integration infrastructure.
