Title [wiki] : Develop for Common Use

Statement [wiki] : Development of applications used across the sector is preferred over the development of similar or duplicative applications only provided to a subset of organizations.

Rationale [wiki] : Expenditures of scarce resources to develop essentially the same capability in marginally different ways is wasteful and proliferates conflicting data, leading to conflicting actioned decisions, therefore cost and lost opportunities.

Implications [wiki] : Sector organizations which depend on a capability which does not serve the sector should change over to the replacement sector-wide capability when available. Organisation’s should inform themselves as to changes to services available in the sector and regularly consider changing over to sector wide capabilities when available.
Sector organizations will monitor and limit the development of non-sector wide usable services, especially those which are similar/duplicative of sector-wide capabilities.
Standardization of processes, protocols, controls, systems, data and information used to support sector organisations decision-making will be standardized to a much greater extent than previously. The impetus for adding to the set of sector-wide capabilities may well come from an organization making a convincing case for the value of the data/information previously produced by its organizational capability, but the resulting capability will become part of the sector-wide system, and the information it produces will be shared in an authorised controlled manner across the sector.

Recommendation [wiki] : This Principle MUST be considered to coexist with other Principles, including but not limited: * Discrete versus Monolithic Systems
* Limited to Least
