Abstract: An invention is provided for a business-model agnostic system that provides service deployment management. The business-model agnostic system includes a plurality of service objects, wherein each service object stores information for a particular service. In addition, a plurality of service directories is included, wherein each service directory includes a list of service objects. The business-model agnostic system also includes a plurality of service entry objects, each service entry object defining a relationship between a service object and a service directory. Further included is a plurality of vehicle client objects. Each vehicle client object stores a list of service directories. In this manner, the business-model agnostic system can be queried based on object relationships utilizing the service entry objects.
