    Business Patterns are a form of Design Pattern&amp;nbsp;(see &lt;a class=&quot;elementLinkWithType&quot; href=&quot;./../../../openup/guidances/concepts/pattern_10BE6D96.html&quot; guid=&quot;_0YJvUMlgEdmt3adZL5Dmdw&quot;>Concept: Pattern&lt;/a>) and&#xD;
    are the business-domain counterpart of &lt;a class=&quot;elementLinkWithType&quot; href=&quot;./../../../openup/guidances/concepts/arch_mech_2932DFB6.html&quot; guid=&quot;_mzxI0A4LEduibvKwrGxWxA&quot;>Concept: Architectural Mechanism&lt;/a>. Just as similar problems in the technical domain may be solved by using Architecture Mechanisms, similar&#xD;
    problems in the business domain can be solved by using Business Patterns.&#xD;
&lt;/p>&#xD;
&lt;p>&#xD;
    Business Patterns are often found in COTS products. For example, packaged applications that support Enterprise Resource&#xD;
    Planning or Customer Relationship Management ship with functionality to support a variety of generic business&#xD;
    processes. Similarly, it is frequently possible to identify related or similar behavior in the Use&#xD;
    Case&amp;nbsp;Scenarios&amp;nbsp;and thereby derive generic designs that you can use in the design of the system. These&#xD;
    elements of generic behavior can be&amp;nbsp;expressed as Design&amp;nbsp;Patterns and applied to the system design.&#xD;
