Alphalinc was conceived from the ground-up to be net-centric to unleash the full promise of the internet and modern software engineering.
The net-centric concept unites four key elements of software engineering:
Net-centric features don't force information to the users but post it to a pull where it is available in real time to those who need it. Legacy software is frequently designed to establish centered controls and to be one-company dedicated, so its intrinsic conception of information flow divides information providers from information consumers. In a net-centric application like Alphalinc, all users are both, so unnecessary manipulation processes do not delay access to data for cross-functional use, being available as soon as it is collected with end-to-end visibility, for intra and inter-company use.
Net-centricity is based on a group of open-standard technologies such as XML, web services, and others that are Internet-driven, providing ubiquitous global connectivity in all software layers: components, modules and systems. For synchronous and asynchronous communication, putting a web enabling communication wrapper around legacy software does not provide such connectivity. True n et-centric applications like Alphalinc do.
While in place or moving, readable requests from mobile devices and automated responses are necessary to increase operational responsiveness. The net-centric approach manages mission - critical information needs to mak e information accessable at any time and from any location.
A net-centric solution must not just be fully browser based, giving access from anywhere, but also plac e data where it should be. Alphalinc provides the ability through its rule-based data communication engine to direct data to where it should go transaction - by - transaction, making net-centricity a reality in all layers of the software architecture.
