| Business Patterns are a form of Design Pattern&nbsp;(see <a class="elementLinkWithType" href="./../../../core.tech.common.extend_supp/guidances/concepts/pattern_10BE6D96.html" guid="_0YJvUMlgEdmt3adZL5Dmdw">Concept: Pattern</a>) and are the business-domain counterpart of <a class="elementLinkWithType" href="./../../../core.tech.common.extend_supp/guidances/concepts/arch_mechanism_2932DFB6.html" guid="_mzxI0A4LEduibvKwrGxWxA">Concept: Architectural Mechanisms</a>. Just as similar problems in the technical domain
 |
| may be solved by using Architecture Mechanisms, similar problems in the business domain can be solved by using Business
 |
| Patterns.

| Business Patterns are often found in COTS products. For example, packaged applications that support Enterprise Resource
 |
| Planning or Customer Relationship Management ship with functionality to support a variety of generic business
 |
| processes. Similarly, it is frequently possible to identify related or similar behavior in the Use
 |
| Case&nbsp;Scenarios&nbsp;and thereby derive generic designs that you can use in the design of the system. These
 |
| elements of generic behavior can be&nbsp;expressed as Design&nbsp;Patterns and applied to the system design.
