A Guideline to Organize Communication Infrastructure for Alliances of SME
Abstract
Information and communication technologies can be seen as driving elements in virtual enterprise organization. As far as alliances of SMEs are concerned, the required infrastructure must be light, with a rather low cost. To choose an acceptable infrastructure organization, a multi-criteria analysis describing the technical requirement and the way the virtual enterprise organization is perceived and integrated by each partner is proposed and can be used as a generic guideline to define adapted security policies in each enterprise.
