A problem faced in many software services groups that customize a core piece of software for a client is keeping a client within the upgrade path. From a business point of view, consultants should implement solutions for clients in a manner close to what is intended by the core product. From a technical point of view, consultants should not overwrite core code. When we do this and only make use of public APIs, it makes it much easier and cheaper for the client to get to the next software versions, getting the latest bug fixes and the latest features at the same time.

Next we would like to add in our business logic and provide a service layer which can be used by our presentation layer.
