New European Norm not sufficient as
common denominator
page 11
• Software developer and cloud operators addressing
European market required to support the EN from 2018
• Very useful, but as only common denominator too small
• Transport/delivery and business layers not specified
• Extended support for seamless cloud interoperability and
API communication with business software required
• My suggestion: Specify an Interoperability Reference
Model as common denominator at least for semantic, syntax
and transport orientation for the IT community
