As a result of the ongoing evolution in Information Technology (IT) from an enabler towards an industrial sector at its own right, the necessity to align business requirements with IT resources and services is constantly increasing. Within the introduced EU project plugIT we are assuming that businesses in different sectors require IT for various reasons in order to reach a level of strategic differentiation therefore envisioning the idea of an "IT-Socket" to be developed. The "IT-Socket" uses the analogy to use IT for business similar to the way electrical power is consumed, setting up means of "plugging-in" business into IT. The results of the project are demonstrated within 3 demonstration scenarios, namely (1) "Certification of IT-Infrastructure" in the area of compliance management of IT infrastructures, (2) "Virtual Organization" taking the service orientation to a higher level of abstraction for business usage, as well as (3) "Governance of IT infrastructures" supporting and introducing the business context in distributed and complex systems. The "IT-Socket" is realized by applying a model-based approach targeted by the research challenge of plugIT to tightly link human interpretable graphical models with machine interpretable formalisms to allow an involvement of domain experts in formalizing knowledge, providing modelling languages/tools/services that are fitting to the respective context and establish mechanisms for domain specific notations for semantic concepts.
