            Abstract : 
Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) have huge improvement potential both in domain and in collaboration/interoperability capabilities. Before implementing respective improvement measures it´s necessary to assess the performance in specific process areas which we divide in domain (e.g. tourism) and collaboration oriented ones. Both in enterprise collaboration (EC) and in enterprise interoperability (EI) the behavior of organizations regarding interoperability must be improved.
