      <Paragraph>Infor Global has traditionally focused its development efforts
		on generic logistic typologies such as make-to-stock and assemble-to-order. In
		practice, however, few companies can be placed into only one of these
		typologies. Furthermore, the market has also communicated a need for more
		distinctive typologies in such as planning and distribution.</Paragraph>
      <Paragraph>As a result, the Enterprise Business Model (EBM) has been
		developed. The Enterprise Business Model is a generic reference model in which
		several logistical typologies are combined to form a functionally rich model,
		which supports all types of production and distribution, including levels of
		customer order influence.</Paragraph>
      <Paragraph>The objective for the implementation of the Enterprise Business
		Model is to allow companies the ability to customize to their own business
		needs by selecting a unique combination of components from the
		model.</Paragraph>
