Diversification• Few data standards acrossbusiness units
• Most IT decisions made within business units
• Makes sense if few if any shared clients, no overlapping transactions
Coordination• Consensus for designingIT infrastructure services
• IT application decisions with business units
• Makes sense for operationally uniquebusiness units or functionswith shared clients
Unification• IT decisions made centrally• Centrally mandated databases
• Makes sense for businessunits with similar or overlapping operations, catering to a common clientpool
Replication• Data locally owned• Centrally mandated ITservices
• Makes sense for operationally similar business units with few, if any shared clients
