• All services are exposed as Web Services and accessible externally

In-Memory Data and Process

• CAF works in memory in real-time with long term persistent data storage

Deployment by Configuration

• No coding required — Applications are created rapidly by configuration using built-in tools Applications are quickly adapted to accommodate changing requirements with CAF’s Studio and
• Network Configuration tools
• Power users configure new processes and modify/maintain existing value chain flows without programs or scripts. CAF Tools have simple drag and drop built-in blocks, drop down menus and easy to use pre-defined actions with “mass change” capabilities

• Graphical process editing and data mapping for rapid and low-cost integration

Highly Scalable & Reliable

•  Stateless server architecture supports load balancing and on-demand scalability
• Fully supports 24×7 availability, guaranteed delivery and fail-over throughout the system
