Operational - Reduced time, effort and operational costs by using standard terminology and a library of reusable data entity definitions
Integration - Reduced time and costs of integration through consistent and compatible solution designs for common components
Collaboration - Opportunities for internal efficiencies and improved outcomes through possible collaboration
New strategic initiatives - A foundation to embark upon new strategic initiatives as major and aggressive changes are being driven by rapid technology change.
