“…An analysis of the current literature reveals that, despite the high expectations concerning the effects of business interoperability on the performance of organizations, research in this field focuses mainly on developing architectures (e.g., [26,27]), frameworks (e.g., [20,[28][29][30]), maturity models (e.g., [22,31]), and methods/standards (e.g., [19,[32][33][34][35]).
