ES/S Identity Prefix
Contents
General
All ES/S Compatible Systems, but especially the ones used in complex enterprise applications make use of prefixed identities. This is used to clarify and allocate the identity space a company uses internally. The idea behind is to uniquely allocate prefixes to a specific dataset type or enumeration, that for example, can be a customer, a project or a task.
Benefits
The benefits of using a prefixed identity scheme are obviously achieving direct adressability both electronically and manually. A lone datasets provides the exact usage type of following identity suffixes and can be addressed without further information on any process, no matter if on paper or transmitted digitally.
