Organization An Organization represents the top layer of your Organization Model. Organization Units are contained within Organizations. You can create many Organizations in the Organization Model. This is useful because you may have an enterprise that has relationships with other enterprises. Part of the operation may have been outsourced to another company, for example. In this situation, you can create an Organization in your Organization Model for each enterprise that your Organization has a relationship with. An Organization does not necessarily have to represent an organization or enterprise, however. It can represent a department or project. It may make sense for your business model to create a project as an Organization if the project is large enough and it consists of several Organization Units, for example. An Organization can contain many Organization Units. There are various properties you can assign to an Organization. You could assign an effective start date and end date. This is useful if the out-source company only has the contract for a set period of time, for example. See Organization Properties for more information.
