            Abstract : 
Describes a methodology for designing and implementing CIM architectures using a structured, modular approach. The technique is called `Modular Upward Building´ and it has the capability to be applied across a variety of industries and existing architectures. Furthermore it preserves flexibility in allowing users to respond to changing business conditions after the original strategy has been designed and or is being implemented
