BUILDING BLOCK - Technology System

Description	Abstract Concept A Technology System is a Resource Agent which produces and reacts to Technology Outcome Events through Technology Interfaces. Technology Systems are enablers of Business Systems. They do not directly deliver Business Outcome Events to internal or external customers. They deliver Technology Outcome Events required by Business Systems to operate. Artifact Nature of Technology System: a Technology System is either a Networking System, a Hardware Technology, a Configured Technology System or a Software Technology System
