ADAM Software Technical Proposition: Open Architecture The ADAM System API ADAM also provides a “conventional” application programming interface (the ADAM System API) that enterprises can use to customize and/or extend the functionality of the ADAM Platform and to integrate the Platform with other enterprise technology systems. The ADAM System API delivers a high level of interoperability and flexibility because of two critical attributes: º It is comprehensive and fully documented—All functions and features of the ADAM Platform are exposed through the ADAM System API, and ADAM provides a reference manual that co ntains a comprehensive and detailed description of the ADAM System API. º It is a stable, tested, and proven development tool—The ADAM System API is thoroughly embedded in the software development process used by ADAM. Our internal software development team uses the ADAM System API to create all of the standard features and functions of the ADAM Platform. In other words, the ADAM Platform has been built using the same API that is available to ADAM’s customers and business partners. The regular and extensive use of the ADAM System API by ADAM’s internal developers ensures its comprehensiveness and stability. ADAM Software NV adamsoftware.net info@adamsoftware.net 7
ADAM Software Technical Proposition: Open Architecture The .NET Framework The Microsoft .NET framework (the .NET framework) is a software platform that is designed to facilitate and simplify the development of software applications. The .NET framework facilitates the flexibility and interoperability of the ADAM Platform in three basic ways: º Multiple language support—The .NET framework can support applications written in several programming languages, which simplifies the process of integrating the ADAM Platform with software applications that are written in other programming languages. The ability of the .NET framework to support multiple programming languages also means that enterprise customers can modify or extend the functionality of the ADAM Platform using code written in any .NET-compliant language. º An extensive class library—The .NET framework includes an extensive collection of classes called the Framework Class Library. The classes in the Framework Class Library provide access to application functionality, and they also provide many of the components needed to modify or extend the functionality of the ADAM Platform. º The provider model—The .NET framework supports the use of the provider model design pattern, a mechanism that enables developers to create applications that can be extended or modified without having to rewrite extensive portions of the application code. Essentially, the provider model enables a developer to turn any feature or method in an application into an extensible and swappable component. The beauty of the provider model is that it enables an enterprise to easily modify the functionality of an application to meet current needs and to address future needs as they arise.
