Solution Multiple contracts can be created for a single service, each targeted at a specific type of consumer. Application This pattern is ideally applied together with Service Facade to support new contracts as required. Impacts Each new contract can effectively add a new service endpoint to an inventory, thereby increasing corresponding governance effort. Principles Standardized Service Contract, Service Loose Coupling, Service Reusability Architecture Service   Separate contracts are created for the three service consumer categories. In some environments this may require the further qualification of the service name; for example, the three contracts may be named Invoice Admin, Invoice Reporting, Invoice Vendor.
