Its ability to accommodate the underlying similarities which companies in the industry are faced with, to name a few, Real Estate, Legal, Education and Hospitality<br /> <br /> C.A.F.E s rich software engine provides leverage for applications, especially in the asset optimisation industry. It incorporates a rich set of foundation pillars which are generic implementations to solve problems within the asset optimisation domain. The generic implementation can be overridden to encapsulate individual business requirements when they are needed.<br /> <br /> It supports core  building blocks which can be initialised and used straight out of the box or custom implementations can be developed. These core blocks include: <ul> <li>Communication (E-Mail, Text)</li> <li>Data Manipulation (Importing/Exporting)</li> <li>Security (Authentication/Authorisation)</li> <li>Validation</li> <li>Document Generation</li> <li>Document Management</li> <li>Job Engine (Running scheduled operations)</li> <li>SharePoint Portal integration</li> </ul> <br /> <br /> <span class="pink18">Can C.A.F.E benefit my business?</span><br /> <br /> <span class="black14">Who can benefit from using the Compact Application Framework Engine?</span><br /> <br /> C.A.F.E is designed for companies based in the asset optimisation industry, namely: <ul> <li>Real Estate,</li> <li>Hospitality</li> <li>Legal</li> <li>Education</li> </ul> C.A.F.E can adapt to the existing IT infrastructure where that be a large infrastructure or small.<br /> <br /> <span class="black14">How will the Compact Application Framework benefit my Company?</span><br /> <br /> C.A.F.E forms a solid foundation layer between the user and the underlying business logic, through the use of proven architectural patterns and practices. C.A.F.E houses core components which can be used straight out of the box or be completely tailored to the requirements of the business.<br /> <br /> It provides a consistent application programming interface for extending functionality as new business requirements arise, or as previous requirements require modification.<br /> <br /> C.A.F.E can be placed in the cloud, on a single server or a server farm without making any changes to the underlying code or engine. This makes the application easier to deploy as business requirements change and as your company grows without having to reinvest in development time.<br /> <br /> <span class="black14">Why the Compact Application Framework Engine?</span><br /> <br /> A lot of investment has been put in by RAH Software to develop a reusable and highly extensible software engine model which has been specifically designed to serve the demanding and dynamic needs of the asset optimisation industry.<br /> <br /> C.A.F.E allows companies to save time and money on continuously investing in developing their own implementations of the core components. Instead companies can take a highly reliable framework and engine which allows applications to concentrate on core business logic which differs from the original logic in the engine, thus; reducing the time applications take to be developed.<br /> <br /> C.A.F.E has been designed to develop with the forever-changing IT industry. New technologies and hardware is been developed on a daily basis, and older technologies refined. C.A.F.E is designed to be flexible and support up and coming new technologies which can benefit customers in the asset optimisation industry.<br /> <br /> With more pressure been placed on businesses to adapt more environmentally friendly assets and processes within their daily operations it s important that the IT infrastructure in place can adopt more environmentally friendly techniques. C.A.F.E does this by supporting the cloud hosting metaphor, however still allowing the engine to run on a more traditional IT infrastructure.<br /> <br /> <span class="black14">Where can the Compact Application Framework Engine be used?</span><br /> <br /> The compact application framework engine is used as the core foundation of a business application it sits behind the web browser based user interface.<br /> <br /> It can be used for a wide array of applications, from data entry applications which require a simple or complex mechanism to retrieve data from a data source and/or complex validation, or require a flexible validation architecture which can be changed without making modifications to the application.<br /> <br /> Through to complete asset management Workflow based systems. The application gives rich building blocks which can be extended to mould to the specific workflow.<br /> <br /> <span class="black14">When can the Compact Application Framework Engine be used?</span><br /> <br /> C.A.F.E should be used when a mission critical business application is required, and when the implementation to an application needs to be flexible and ready for the future. For example, the need changing validation requirements if a new legalisation comes in to force.<br /> <br /> To reap all the benefits that C.A.F.E offers it should be used when a new product is been designed and developed, however due to the design of the engine. Existing application can make use of the benefits such as the flexible validation, document management and mail merge functionality. </div> <div class="media-right-sub"> <div class="blue"> <a href="software-development.html" class="w18">Software Development</a></div> <div class="green"> <a href="webdesign.html" class="w18">Web Design</a></div> <div class="grey"> <a href="products.html" class="w18">Products</a></div> <div class="green2"> <a href="microsoft-dynamicscrm.html" class="w18">Microsoft Dynamics CRM</a></div> <div class="blue2"> <a href="microsoft-sharepoint.html" class="w18">Microsoft SharePoint</a></div> <div class="pink"> <a href="cafe-engine.html" class="w18">Our Technology (C.A.F.E)</a></div> <div class="spacer"> &nbsp;</div> <div class="services-sub"> <font class="grey24">Services we Provide</font> <table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="4" cellpadding="2"> <tr> <td width="8%"> <img src="images/arrow.jpg" /> </td> <td width="92%" class="black12"> Software Development </td> </tr> <tr> <td width="8%"> <img src="images/arrow.jpg" /> </td> <td width="92%" class="black12"> Microsoft Dynamics CRM </td> </tr> <tr> <td width="8%"> <img src="images/arrow.jpg" /> </td> <td width="92%" class="black12"> Microsoft SharePoint </td> </tr> <tr> <td width="8%"> <img src="images/arrow.jpg" /> </td> <td width="92%" class="black12"> Web Design </td> </tr> <tr> <td width="8%"> <img src="images/arrow.jpg" /> </td> <td width="92%" class="black12"> Web Applications </td> </tr> <tr> <td width="8%"> <img src="images/arrow.jpg" /> </td> <td width="92%" class="black12"> Application Maintenance and Support </td> </tr> </table> <div class="spacer"> &nbsp;</div> <a href="microsoft-sharepoint.html"> <img src="images/sharepoint.jpg" border="0" /></a> <div class="spacer"> &nbsp;</div> <a href="microsoft-dynamicscrm.html"><img src="images/microsoftdynamics.jpg" border="0" /></a><div class="spacer">&nbsp;</div><img src="images/microsoft_registered_partner.png" /></div> </div> <div class="clear"> </div> <div class="spacer"> &nbsp;</div> <div class="footer" align="center"> <a href="index.html" class="b11">Home</a> | <a href="products.html" class="b11">Products</a> | <a href="services.html" class="b11">Services</a> | <a href="industry-expertise.html" class="b11">Industry Expertise</a> | <a href="cafe-engine.html" class="b11">Technology</a> | <a href="press-releases.html" class="b11">Press Releases</a> | <a href="company.html" class="b11">Company</a> | <a href="contactus.html" class="b11">Contact Us</a> <br /> Copyright © 2010 RAH Software Limited.
