[[Enterprise modelling]] is seen as the major item in [[enterprise engineering]] and integration. Therefore, both the methodologies and the corresponding languages will be implemented in enterprise modelling tools (GEMT) which will support the enterprise integration process. Ontological theories (OT), generic enterprise models (GEMs) and generic enterprise modules (GMs) will support the modelling process by providing means for more efficient modelling.<ref name="Nell97"/>

The modelling process will result in an enterprise model (EM) which represents all or part of the [[enterprise operation]]. These models will allow simulation of operational alternatives and thereby their evaluation leading to the optimum structure, contents and behaviour of the enterprise operation. GERAM provides a generic description of all the elements recommended in enterprise engineering and integration.
