The source system is responsible for providing the services, while the consumer system is responsible for using them.

This will ensure that the services provided by the source system can be used by the consumer system without any issues. Additionally, it is important to ensure that both systems are secure and up-to-date in order to prevent any security vulnerabilities or data breaches.
