• Services should be standardized within and between agencies where possible (p14)
• Data and information exchange should be based on open standards (p15)
• Use well documented interfaces built on non-proprietary open platforms using standard platform independent data protocols (such as XML) (p15)
• Open-source software solutions should be included in alternatives analyses (p15)
• Use cloud-based application, platform, and infrastructure hosting designs whenever possible to promote scalability, cost-efficiency, and metering (p15)

Collaborative Planning Methodology
• “CPM is structured to embrace the principles of leverage and reuse by assisting planners in determining whether there are other organizations that have previously addressed similar needs, and whether their business model, experiences and work products can be leveraged to expedite improvement.” (p16)

Shared First
• “In alignment with “Shared First” principle, it is at this point that the planners consult both internal and external service catalogs for pre-existing services that are relevant to the current needs. In some instances, an entire business model, policy, technology solution, or service may be reusable . . . an important benefit in these cost-constrained, quickly evolving times.” (p18)
