Abstract
This white paper is the third in a five-part series dedicated to examining problems organizations encounter when operating in multimodel environments and the current process improvement approaches such organizations need to consider. It examines technology composition in relation to the concepts introduced in the previous white papers; a proposed element classification taxonomy to make technology integration effective in practice; and the role of technology structures, granularity and mappings in technology composition.
