Military units from different countries use non-interoperable IT technologies for data processing which impedes collaboration. Military information is classified based on its security level. Sharing this information across security domains is not possible. The Shared Service & Information Room (SSIR) in the context of a joint mission base across security domains facilitates collaborative combat by automatically established, digital capabilities.

The SSIR can also be applied in a civil environment. It provides a federated service space with business functionality to associated partners by bridging security perimeters of different enterprises. This allows to retrieve product data directly from the OEM, reports service execution directly into ERP systems, and uses their collaboration services to communicate with experts.
