Athiva® is built on a flexible, Services-Oriented Architecture (SOA) that combines an open platform and technologies with best practices in application development. It also includes common services and business logic that are specific to a product, enterprise application or IT organization. Using a layered approach, the platform reduces redundancy by maximizing the re-use of these common services through a host of different modules that are easily customized to support the unique needs of different businesses and users. These layers include:
Athiva Infrastructure Services Layer (ISL) – is the foundation, providing the basic modules and components for building and integrating generic software modules as part of a complete business solution.
Athiva Business Services Layer (BSL) - encapsulates the business logic that forms the core IP of any application or solution. It is easy to customize to suit any application and thus far has been successfully deployed to build highly scalable B2B and B2C solutions for targeted marketing and promotions, mobile commerce, social media, education, healthcare, retail and enterprise payment and presentment. And because Athiva is SOA-based, it integrates easily with legacy and 3rd-party systems.
Athiva also provides a secure mobile gateway, exposing application functionality in a secure manner on popular handheld devices with complete integration to backend and 3rd party systems.
The Athiva Enterprise Service Bus (ESB) provides users with a number of important additional advantages including:
- » Comprehensive auditing and tracking
- » Mediation between systems
- » Improved scalability and reliability
- » Advanced business process handling
- » Increased integration options
- » Reduced integration costs
Athiva blends both commercial and open source technologies and is available in both J2EE and .NET. It is fully compatible with all widely used technology stacks and supports all major databases including MySQL, JBoss, Oracle, MS SQL Server and DB2. Its flexible, open architecture integrates seamlessly into different development environments. The platform is also highly scalable, can be licensed very affordably and offers a very low total cost of ownership.
