• Partner services capture the semantics of partner interoperability that have a direct representation in the business design.
  • For example, include the policies and constraints that other businesses must conform to work with your business – including business requirements such as the need to conform to specific industry message and interchange standards like EDIFACT, SWIFT, RosettaNet, etc.
  • It can involve the business logic of managing how partners are selected, and which ones are used as a preference over others in particular circumstances.
In simple words,:
◦partner services will project a view of your business to your partners, and controlling the interaction with them as an external entity.
◦Partner services will render the capabilities of that partner as a service so that those functions can be composed into your business processes like any other service.
