Architectural scenarios supporting e-business models for a DMS

Following recent studies and analysis conducted about Business Models for DMSs, this paper aims at discussing the interrelationships between destinations’ configurations, business models, and architectural strategy for DMS platforms. In particular this work draws on recent attempts aimed at matching DMS business models design with specific characteristics of target destinations, to extend the same considerations towards the identification of the appropriate technological architectures and enabling software applications. In this aim a framework for selecting the appropriate DMS architecture is presented. The result of this analysis will thus lead to the identification of a set of technological architectures according to the different configurations that a destination might present.
