Extended Enterprise

Relation to existing Extended Enterprise patterns:

New Pattern Name	Old Pattern Name
Exposed Direct Connection Message Connection Variation	Document Exchange
Exposed Direct Connection Call Connection Variation	Exposed Application
Exposed Broker Exposed Router Variation	Exposed Business Service
Exposed Serial Process Exposed Serial Workflow Variation	Managed Public Process
PI + EE Composite Pattern	Managed Public & Private Process

The Extended Enterprise patterns have been re-engineered because:

• There was no fundamental topological difference between intra-enterprise and inter-enterprise patterns
• Adding a single adjective ‘Exposed’ to the Process Integration patterns offered great simplicity and power
• The 5th pattern was seen to be a composite of an EE and PI pattern
