feature overview

standards-based

• easy to learn for those familiar with similar software
• easy to reuse existing software based on the same standards
• easy to integrate with other internal or partner systems
• Based on: Sun Java, J2EE; W3C XML, HTML, SOAP; WfMC XPDL; OMG GL, Party, Product, Workflow

All applications built on the same framework, tools & components

• no need to learn and use many different technologies
• no need to integrate applications
• no need to deal with limited features because of poor integrations between disparate technologies
• huge cost savings because of consist and easy to maintain components

standards-based flexible and generic data model

• covers all major entities used in businesses
• provides a structure to simplify acheiving custom data needs
• uses common terms for entity names to make it easier to understand and use

flexible and efficient to use data layer

• No database system lock-in; supports many different databases
• No need to write redundant persistence code and configuration
• Easy to use XML data definitions
• Powerful API offers generic operations that behave differently based on data definitions
• most operations can be done with a single line of code and no need for writing supporting code

loosely coupled multi-layer component architecure

• easy to customize and reuse components
• easy to build new applications through the composition of existing components
• easy to find code and other components based on consistent patterns
• components can be replaced without breaking other components because of well defined and managed dependencies

distributed architecture

• easy to scale multiple servers or pools of servers
• easy to seamlessly integrate & communicate with other systems

service-based logic layer

• all logic modeled as a service
• Makes it easy to reuse logic
• Services can be automatically exposed as Web Services
• Makes it easy add custom user interfaces, even many at once
• Makes it easy to distribute the system over multiple servers
• Makes it easy to communicate with other systems

advanced web application framework

• separates input processing logic, view data preparation logic and view presentation templates
• supports many different types of logic, including scripting languages and services
• supports many different types of view templates including XML/XSLT, FreeMarker, Velocity, JSP, and any other
• tracks all visits and page hits for security and marketing purposes
• keeps statistical traffic and performance data since server start and in time bins
