Architecture

Sockeye Supply Chain’s technology is built on the unique features of its unique Collaborative Application Framework (CAF) platform. This powers all Allegro applications and offers the following key features:

Service Oriented Architecture

True service-oriented architecture
Services are recursive, inter-accessible, scalable and support synchronous, asynchronous and time-scheduled access modes
All services are exposed as Web Services and accessible externally

Development by Configuration

No coding required -- Applications are created rapidly by configuration using built-in tools
Applications are quickly adapted to accommodate changing requirements

Business Object Based

Business objects are the primary data structures in the system, shielding the low-level relational data layer
The Business Object Modeler supports graphical definition and quick deployment of business objects
The Business Object Engine supports runtime dynamic mapping between the business object model and the underlying relational data model as well as data query and manipulation operations

Business Process Enabled

Business Process Framework allows for easy mapping between actual business processes and system-executable processes to speed implementation

Agent Powered

Agent Framework provides rapid generation and deployment of business logic and business integration using intelligent agents

Event Driven

Events and alerts are generated and propagated in real time throughout the system
Publish/Subscribe methodology enables efficient "push" of event-triggered actions by agents and users

Interoperable

Supports most standard communication protocols for integration (Web Services, HTTP, MOM, database, COM, CORBA, sockets, FTP, files, etc) by off-the-shelf toolset
Graphical process editing and data mapping for rapid and low-cost integration

Highly Scalable & Reliable

Stateless server architecture supports load balancing and on-demand scalability
Fully supports 24x7 availability, guaranteed delivery and fail-over throughout the system

Internationalized

Full multi-language and multi-currency support
Absolutely no engineering changes in adding support for new languages
