The exchangeEngine™ platform is based on the newest and most standardized technologies and coding practices. Following the Java J2EE standard blueprints, it provides a distributed and scalable system environment that allows the service to expand as demand increases.
The exchangeEngine™ platform uses the popular and effective MVC2 framework to provide a customizable and stable environment. It allows fully internationalized and localized services, modifiable presentation widgets, centralized control, and increased code security.
In addition, the system implements an O/R mapping (Object-Relational mapping) engine to provide a persistence layer for the business logic. This allows increased data consistency and reliability while providing a more effective development environment on top of any popular and stable database solution.
The exchangeEngine™ platform has been designed from the beginning to provide a simple, yet feature-rich user interface. By providing an interface which is easy to understand, the user learns intrinsically and feels productive from the start. Even casual computer users feel at control with the ability to manage all aspects of their accounts and workflows.
However, we understand that every exchangeEngine™ customer has their own UI and usability requirements. Although exchangeEngine™ provides a best of breed UI experience right out of the box, we will work with your designers or assign our usability experts to implement a custom UI based on your specifications and the needs of your business and industry.
Because the exchangeEngine™ platform is built upon open standards that define scalable and distributed solutions, it is inherently scalable. While it can be run on a single dedicated server, it can easily be scaled to many enterprise-class servers. By analyzing the demand of resources on the system, more servers can be added as necessary. This provides a cost effective solution as well. Additional resources grow only when the demand of the service increases.
The exchangeEngine™ platform is based on standardized technologies and is written in the Java language; therefore it is fully portable to all infrastructures that support the Java environment, which include Microsoft Windows-, UNIX-, and Linux-based environments. This means that the system is not tied to a specific operating system or database and can be installed and configured depending on the requirements, demands, and resources available to you.
The exchangeEngine™ platform provides web services support. This allows the information stored in your exchangeEngine™ platform to be marketable and easily integrated with external systems.
The exchangeEngine™ platform therefore is not just a standalone service for users to post their content and connect with other users, but a complete reverse auction marketplcae solution for external organizations. Corporate and organizational projects can automatically be entered into the exchangeEngine™ platform to reduce the human requirement of data entry. In addition, new activities can be automatically relayed back to the organization to be integrated with their workflow or decision system.
To meet with the demands of a secure and trustworthy environment, the exchangeEngine™ platform is deployed in an environment that includes a hardware firewall to manage proper communications with the system, redundant server clusters to allow proper failover support and scalability, load balancing to manage the network load between the clusters, Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) cryptography to encrypt sensitive financial data, VPN to limit and secure server access, and SSL certificates to encrypt data transferred via the Internet between users and the server in both directions.
The exchangeEngine™ platform was designed from the beginning as a multilingual solution. All the system data is stored in the UTF format to provide support for over 200 languages. In addition, the presentation templates can be easily modified for specific languages. This allows the system to choose the proper language, graphics, templates, and data on the fly.
No changes to the system code are required. As such, the procedure involved in entering a new language-market is just the translation of the presentation layer. This flexibility allows swift entry to foreign markets at a low cost – the same system can be used and distributed worldwide.
