Technology and Architecture Summary

Supports a Multi-Server Environment for scalability

Is 100% Web-Based for easy administration

Built-in High availability features to ensure system uptime

Platform to scale across the enterprise and allow companies to manage and govern in a multi-level, multi-organizational environment. The architecture will support a global environment with localization features including multiple languages

This architecture supports enterprise class scalability and security, as well as integration with other systems.

Key aspects include:

- Web Services Standards
- Scalability
- Internationalization

Web Services Standards

The application is designed to support leading web services standards. We also support web services protocols such as extensible markup language (XML), extensible style sheet language (XSL) and simple object access protocol (SOAP). As a result, data such as projects, human resource profiles, and financials may be shared with both up-stream and down-stream applications such as enterprise resource planning and customer relationship management systems.

Scalability

The application is designed to provide horizontal scalability. The components, which make up the product, can be placed on separate servers allowing customers maximum flexibility in configuring the hardware infrastructure for supporting global implementations. The application server is designed for stateless operation, which allows load-balancing techniques to be used to scale large server deployments. The system also has redundant failover capabilities that increase uptime for large deployments.
