The Sharing and Reuse Framework for IT Solutions (SRF) was developed to promote and support the sharing and reuse of IT solutions in public administrations. It includes 10 generic recommendations on how to share, reuse or jointly develop IT solutions that meet common requirements. You can navigate through the Framework in this online version using the table of contents available below as a starting point.

For an overview of the Framework, you can check the pages under the Introduction section. Page 'About the Sharing & Reuse Framework' offers the background and necessity of this Framework, while page '10 Generic recommendations' provides a list which briefly presents the 10 generic recommendations.

If you would like to directly view one of the generic recommendations, then click on the appropriate entry in the Recommendations section below. You will find there the context of the generic recommendation, along with specific, more in-depth, detailed recommendations. 

For further reading, you could also check the pages under the Consolidated lists section. Here are provided 'Recommended measures for central bodies' and 'Supporting Instruments' pages.

Last, for quick and easy navigation, all subsequent pages provide a top-of-page navigation bar in order to move within the Framework. If you wish to return to this page, simply click on the Home icon located in the centre of the top-of-page navigation bar.
