  Application Development Framework & Integration Toolkit        

  HomePlatform Technology PlatformApplication Development Framework & Integration Toolkit

The application framework itself is highly exposed for developers and third parties who wish to make deeper changes to functionality without altering core code. Through the use of engines, data extensions, and interchangeable widgets, Amber Road makes it possible to further modify the application without jeopardizing the upgrade path.

Key elements of the application development framework include:

Trade function "engines" provide key analysis and transaction capabilities. These engines can be leveraged across the solution, such as document determination, restricted party screening, license requirements, etc.
Additional functionality can be developed using a drag and drop interface that exposes core functions and makes them consumable by developers
Integration touch points are simplified and exposed. Enables services team and third party integrators to easily expand the solution and connect with other applications
Data extensions are allowed for all the major application entities (Partner, Product, Transaction). This means that fields and tables can be added and will behave as if they are part of the core code, and all validation sets will also apply
Security can be implemented at the role or widget level. A widget is any window, tab, search, or menu. This is facilitated by the arrangement of functions into hierarchies, so security can be applied at the parent level to apply to all descendants
Content and functionality are delivered to the user interface via "tiles". The Dynamic Window Assembly framework provides the ability to customize the look and feel of the UI without altering core code by simply arranging tiles onto a template
