The INCENTAGE Middleware Suite

Overview

The Middleware is a fully modular implementation of a proven high-performance straight-through-processing solution. The picture below illustrates INCENTAGE’s multi-layer approach.

The top transport layer consists of a variety of adapters that get your in-house or your business partner’s applications connected.

The second structure layer contains data dictionaries for various standards. The INCENTAGE Parsers and Builders are able to understand the full breadth of message variations possible within a standard. They take away the job from you of dealing with fixed message formats and allow you to work with logical business elements.

The business logic layer allows you to freely modify the information to match the semantics of different worlds. It enriches, formats, calculates, converts and validates the data elements.

The message bus layer deals with the transport, routing and replication of messages.
