OpenServices™ Platform
The OpenServices™ platform was designed to cope with the philosophy and peculiarities of the Internet environment and to serve as a base to a flexible and modular architecture that can be built using a web services approach.
OpenServices™ architecture philosophy is ideal for an Internet-driven environment, as each application or service can be deployed, operated and maintained by different entities, thus allowing multiple business models to be explored.

Web Services Architecture
Future trends indicate that the Internet is geared towards a unified large-scale collaborative network. This can be seen in the consumer market today, where we have plenty of examples of successful large communities that grow every day. The way we making business today will also evolve in to a large array of co-operative networks that will enable to search, advertise, buy and sell whatever product or service available.
The way the OpenServices™ architecture works allows us to implement this vision and even take one step further. Remember, the key aspect of the future of eBusiness is without a doubt - collaboration.
«Collaboration is the interaction among two or more individuals that can encompass a variety of actions, such as communication, information sharing, coordination, cooperation, problem solving, and negotiation.»
The OpenServices™ architecture platform shares a web-service styled architecture that allows the installation, operation and exploration of application modules and 3rd-party web services. The benefits of this architecture can be summarized as follow:
* Define, operate and sell software as a service
* Re-use software infrastructure and applications
* Build and customize a solution by adding web services
* Share base modules that interconnect with each other
* Use existant or user-customized presentation layer or site
* Build or use 3rd party add-on modules
Definition of Web Services:
An interface for a service oriented architecture (SOA), in which Web-based applications dynamically interact with other Web applications using open standards that include XML running over HTTP, UDDI and SOAP. Such applications typically run behind the scenes, one program "talking to" another (server to server).
Although the term became the hot buzzword at the turn of the century, Web services still require cooperation and agreement among people to define business transactions and processes. Web services define only the format, transport and interface standards, not the meaning of the data to be exchanged (see ebXML). See SOA, SOAP, UDDI and XML.
Definition of Intranet:
An intranet is a private network that is contained within an enterprise. It may consist of many interlinked local area networks and also use leased lines in the wide area network. Typically, an intranet includes connections through one or more gateway computers to the outside Internet. The main purpose of an intranet is to share company information and computing resources among employees. An intranet can also be used to facilitate working in groups and for teleconferences.
An intranet uses TCP/IP, HTTP, and other Internet protocols and in general looks like a private version of the Internet. With tunneling, companies can send private messages through the public network, using the public network with special encryption/decryption and other security safeguards to connect one part of their intranet to another.
Typically, larger enterprises allow users within their intranet to access the public Internet through firewall servers that have the ability to screen messages in both directions so that company security is maintained. When part of an intranet is made accessible to customers, partners, suppliers, or others outside the company, that part becomes part of an extranet.
