Introducing the USoft Services Platform |

|
The USoft Services Platform is a structure of runtime software components that offer functionality from USoft applications to web clients. It is also referred to as the USoft Services Framework. Its core characteristics are: •Rules Engines that implement desired application behaviour, enable model-driven development and safeguard data quality. •Services that offer functionality to clients. •Servers that are responsible for handling runtime traffic between clients and services.
The USoft Services platform acts as a roadmap for USoft web products and will be completed and enriched gradually. In USoft 9.0, REST services were introduced, as well as the ability to set up USoft servers which remove dependency on Internet Information Server (IIS) as a web server. In upcoming releases, SOAP services will be moved from USoft Definer to USoft Service Definer and a richer catalogue of off-the-shelf services will be offered, opening also the way for tool-to-tool communication such as service-based access to USoft URequire functionality.
