1 Purpose of this Document 
<<Solution Building Blocks (SBBs) relate to the Solutions Continuum, and may be either procured or 
developed. 
SBB characteristics are: 
· Define what products and components will implement the functionality 
· Define the implementation 
· Fulfil business requirements 
· Be product or vendor-aware>>
