In the Ad-Hoc and Self-Governed Organizational Templates the asset consumers examine and reuse assets as needed, but
there is little formal support structure around the assets. The repository is the main mechanism for communicating and
forming the community.
In the Governed Communities Organizational Template the asset consumers have a close association with the Asset
Manufacturing team. Often the members of the Asset Manufacturing team may follow an asset into an asset consumer's
environment (either physically or virtually) to help ensure the successful use of an asset and provide support. The
asset consumer can provide feedback to the repository as well as to the Asset Manufacturing team. Providing this level
of support for asset consumers help ensure greater success of the asset program.
In the Enterprise Partial Organizational Template, similar to the Governed Communities Organizational Template the
asset consumers have a close association with the Asset Manufacturing team in terms of receiving support from them. The
asset consumers interact with an enterprise repository, but work closely with their community Asset Manufacturing Team.
In the Enterprise Full Organizational Template the asset consumers work with the central Asset Manufacturing Team. In
this model it is critical that the asset consumers can be connected with the proper support that is relevant to their
community. The asset consumers need to be trained to know where they go for the enterprise repository support.
