Integration & Messaging

Utilising a powerful integration and messaging engine, users can quickly and easily create robust integration links between FrontRange applications and their existing systems and data sources. Messaging transforms data and helps ensure its delivery across the different FrontRange modules and external systems.

The messaging engine is responsible for:

• Setting and managing alerts and notifications
• Processing messages from internal and external applications using MSMQ, HTTP POST, XML and SOAP
• Managing and distributing e-mail, pager and fax communications
• Integrating enterprise applications

The architecture supports synchronous communication to and from other applications and data sources. The system allows applications to publish messages in response to the invocation of business events within the platform. These messages are published in industry-standard XML and XSLT format and are delivered securely to subscribing systems via HTTP connections.

High-volume message handling is supported through message queues and can be delivered by multiple communication methods, including HTTP, Web services, SOAP, e-mail, FTP, as well as through multiple messaging engines (Microsoft Message Queuing, MQSeries and SwiftMQ).

Additional integration support is provided for Microsoft Active Directory and LDAP components through XSLT transformation and LDAP listeners. Active Directory objects and users can be imported and maintained in the FrontRange Foundation using the administration tools provided.

Client Interface & Access

The FrontRange Foundation supports both a rich client environment (executables installed locally) and a thin smart client via http environment and offers customers deployment and support flexibility. If they choose to, users can access the full suite of FrontRange applications through a standard Web browser.

To support customers utilizing the Web client, the FrontRange Foundation uses standard Internet technologies, including HTTP, XML, Microsoft ActiveX, and HTML, to provide a robust client experience over the Web.

Customers who choose to deploy in a zero client environment and reduce the complexities and expenses associated with client installations can leverage the power of Microsoft Internet Information Services (IIS) Web application server, which allows the FrontRange applications to be quickly deployed in a 100 percent server-based environment.
