FISDEV:Solution Offerings

From Open Sustainability

FISDEV Solutions

Solution Offerings address business and technology problems related to sustainability by supplementing the Overall Implementation Guide in both a detailed and holistic fashion. The detailed aspect to Solution Offerings means that they typically encompass very specific techniques, design patterns and process steps. The holistic aspect means that Solution Offerings tend to focus on a certain type of problem as opposed to being generalized for sustainability like the Overall Implementation Guide. Solution Offerings are mapped to Activities in the Overall Implementation Guide.

There are multiple types of Solutions that make up the Methodology:

• Core Solution Offerings provide best practices on Sustainable Development.

• Business Solution Offerings are applied to common business problems for which better sustainability is a key success factor. They make use of logical Core Solution Offerings

• Product Solution Offerings provide integrated approaches to solving problems from a vendor perspective and are often product-specific.

• Open Source Solution Offerings provide integrated approaches to better sustainability and using solely Open Source technologies.

• The FISDEV Architecture is a framework architecture for sustainability.

• The Sustainability Governance Solution Offering provides the guiding framework for realizing an Sustainable Development approach.

The individual Solution Offerings ideally relate together in this model. That is, Vendor and Business Solution Offerings are shown most effectively when they explicitly map to one another; mapping is not necessarily a 1-to-1 relationship.
