About Agresso’s Technology Foundation
Agresso offers a robust Services-Oriented Architecture (SOA). The technology platform leverages popular and readily available industry and open standards in relation to databases (Oracle, Microsoft SQL Server and MySQL) as well as operating systems such as Microsoft Windows, Unix and Linux. It also supports a smart (rich client) as well as a web (thin) client or a mixture of the two. Business logic is maintained centrally and separated from the user interface so that web clients are updated without manual intervention. The web client is highly configurable allowing a wide range of self service possibilities.
The technical architecture is compliant across a broad range of industry standards for interfacing, interoperability and integration. Increasingly, additional capabilities are provided via web services that simplify integration with other systems and provide the groundwork for future developments. By using common components, the technical platform fits readily into almost any IT strategy and is cost effective, robust and scalable.
