SyteLine Manufacturing ERP: Microsoft .NET Platform
.NET is the Microsoft Web services strategy to connect information, people, systems, and devices through software. Integrated across the Microsoft platform, .NET technology provides the ability to quickly build, deploy, manage, and use connected, security-enhanced solutions with Web services. .NET-connected solutions enable businesses to integrate their systems more rapidly and in a more agile manner and help them realize the promise of information anytime, anywhere, on any device.
Infor ERP SyteLine, a manufacturing ERP, is built and deployed on the Microsoft .NET technology platform for more flexibility, better application integration, and improved interoperability compared to mixed-platform solutions - all at a lower total cost of ownership. You can easily personalize Infor ERP SyteLine to meet unique industry, team or individual user requirements. Most importantly, as your business changes, SyteLine software will adapt and move forward with your business.
SyteLine Manufacturing ERP: Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA)
The term SOA (service-oriented architecture) has numerous meanings, but from the standpoint of Manufacturing ERP applications like SyteLine, there are two key goals:
- Expose data and functionality in Infor ERP SyteLine software as a "service" (internet-enabled, loosely-coupled integration) so that other applications can utilize that functionality.
- Allow the customer to interact, extend, and tailor Infor ERP SyteLine software with services provided by other SOA-enabled applications.
SyteLine Manufacturing ERP has very powerful SOA (service-oriented architecture) capabilities. Because the entire application can be addressed via a Web service or through IDORequest XML documents, customers have control of easily extending their application. In addition, the Infor ERP SyteLine replication system provides a declarative "subscription" mechanism enabling external or 3rd party applications to receive notification via IDORequest XML documents when data changes or procedures execute within SyteLine software. With this extensive capability, a rich set of SOA scenarios are now possible with no coding within SyteLine Manufacturing ERP.
SyteLine Manufacturing ERP is anchored on Infor's "enrich, extend, and evolve" product strategy and SOA (service-oriented architecture). This means customers can expect Infor to make an ongoing investment in the business-specific capabilities they need to meet their diverse business challenges and ever-changing needs.
"Web services" is an approach that:
- helps the business connect with its customers, partners, and employees
- helps the business work more efficiently with its partners and suppliers
- unlocks information so it can flow to every employee who needs it
Infor Open SOA (service-oriented architecture) is Infor's implementation of Web services for interoperability, innovation, and evolution across all product lines. With Infor Open SOA, customers can easily add, change, upgrade, or modify solutions as their business requirements change. By enabling proven, business-specific solutions to plug into customers' ecosystems, you leverage the benefits of a service-oriented architecture without the disruption of having to replace an entire IT infrastructure.
Infor Open SOA software technology enables our customers to introduce new functionality and technology in a cost-effective, evolutionary way when the time is right for them. As an integral part of the Infor solution offering, there is no additional cost for Infor Open SOA and no need to undergo a major software re-implementation in order to take advantage of SOA business benefits.
