A modern E‐Business infrastructure must enable enterprise collaboration, both external and internal, throughout unpredictably dynamic situations. Anyone selecting an e‐business solution should assess the capability of its infrastructure using applicable Measures of Effectiveness (MOE's). This paper expresses the MOE's in the context of a conceptual model of an E‐Business infrastructure. In addition, a checklist and a graphical notation for scoring the capability levels of candidate solutions is provided. The purpose of a capability assessment is to help protect enterprises from making commitments to solutions that lack key capabilities. The ten MOE's described in this paper will provide a useful perspective to any systems engineering practitioner involved in creating an E‐Business solution.
