Customizable Interoperability Assessment Methodology to support technical processes deployment in large companies

Increasing competition on markets induces a vital need for companies to improve their efficiency and reactivity. For this, a solution is to deploy, improve and manage their processes while paying a special attention on the abilities of the resources those involve. Particularly, their interoperability is considered in this article as a challenge conditioning the success of the deployment. Consequently, this paper provides a comparison of existing interoperability assessment solutions and presents a methodology to assess interoperability of people, material resources and organisation units involved or that could be involved in a process, all along the deployment effort. This methodology is usable for prevention, detection and correction of interoperability problems.
