Application development using nTegrator

Computer applications have traditionally been created by developers who combine source code and library modules with the language vendor's runtime environment. This process for developing applications is referred to as "code-centric" development. Applications developed this way are typically difficult to maintain and to modify. Unless written in a very specific way, they are not scalable at all.

In SOA applications, the runtime environment is replaced by a SOA platform while the code and library modules are replaced by services, which are a high level combination of code and library modules. Services are combined using automated tools or scripts  that describe the processes to be executed in order to implement the application. This process for developing applications is referred to as "process-centric development".

Unlike other SOA implementations, an nTegrator implementation begins with the definition of the application's objectives and the processes and resources that are required to meet the objectives. The nTegrator toolkit is used to define and organize the identified  processes and the implementation, using SOA, is created automatically.
