Abstract: A service grouping and allocation method and system. The method includes retrieving, by a computing system, a list of candidate services. The computing system retrieves service identification techniques data associated with the candidate services and identifies process elements associated with first candidate services of the candidate services. The first candidate services comprise a process decomposition service identification technique. It is determined if the computing system comprises first mapping data indicating relationships between the process elements and associated functional areas. The computing system generates and stores results data associated with the relationships.

Abstract: A method, an apparatus, and a computer program product are disclosed for trading goods, or services, or both, using an electronic network. In the method, two or more entities are registered as traders. An entity is preferably a natural business, a legal entity, or a business. In turn, one or more business profile are generated for each of the traders. Further, one or more business opportunities are generated for one of the traders. The business opportunity or the at least one business profile of the one trader is compared with the business profiles of the remaining traders. One or more of the remaining traders are notified via the electronic network of a trading opportunity if the at least one business opportunity or the at least one profile matches the at least one business profile corresponding to one or more of the remaining traders.
