A business space is a container of all information and rules on processing the information that a business organization, or an individual, may need to manage. Aware IM manages a business space according to the instructions provided by a configurator in the configuration mode. Regular users login into the business space in the operation mode to work with operational information. A business space is therefore a combination of both configuration instructions and operational data.

All configuration elements, such as business objects, processes, rules and others, belong to a business space. They reflect the unique requirements of the organization, or individual, and can be adjusted as often as necessary to accommodate changes in the requirements.
