Welcome to the Microsoft Connected Services Framework (CSF) Architecture
Welcome to the Microsoft Connected Services Framework Architecture (CSF), an integrated, server-based software solution for building and managing services using a service-oriented architecture (SOA). The solution allows the creation of composite services using Web Services and delivers “out-of-the-box” identity management, profile management, Universal Description, Discovery, and Integration (UDDI) integration, and service isolation services.
While Microsoft is currently gearing the solution at the telecommunication, media and entertainment services, we believe that although the value-add services are tightly coupled with these vertical business environments, the core services of the solution are vertical business environment agnostic and therefore reusable in any business environment pursuing service oriented architectures.
