This paper presents a service oriented method for enterprises' collaboration. SaaS is very attractive to enterprises because it offers low cost and flexible on-demand IT solution. A SaaS oriented Service Management Platform (SOSMP) is proposed to support service deployment, subscription, and execution. The SMEs can rent services deployed on SOSMP to manage inner-organizational information such as orders and inventory, and share the information with their partners. The prototype has been developed and shows that SOSMP is effective.
