XPE - the effective SOA platform

XPE is an advanced application development, deployment and management platform. It allows enterprise applications to be developed following the best practices of Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) . Consequently, XPE applications enjoy superior reliability, agility, predictability, scalability, security, manageability, and performance.

A number of live applications have been built using the XPE technology:

• Using your mobile phone as a portable scanner
• Exit planning institute
• The largest bonsai online shop in Australia

And, of course, this site itself is powered by XPE and XPE Web Content Management System.

Why XPE?

Today's business environment is highly dynamic and only the most agile and adoptive businesses can survive. As businesses become more dependent on their software applications for all activities, the capability of being able to create new applications quickly and maintain existing ones easily is critical to the success of a business. In the real world, however, most businesses find their IT departments too slow to react.

One of the main reasons is that the technologies used to build software are fundamentally flawed. All current technologies in production are built on the concept of being Object-Oriented (OO), which is good enough for desktop applications but fail to scale in enterprise applications. As the complexity of a business problem increases, the complexities of the application increase exponentially. The consequence is poor ROI or even loss of business opportunities.

XPE takes an innovative approach. When developing in XPE, developers describe their applications rather than program. Each developer works in a well defined value chain just like working in an assembling line.

Essentially, XPE is all about life like computing. Every XPE application can mutate much faster than traditional applications, thus their chance of survive is improved.

With a SOA design, XPE is built on proven architecture and open standards. This gives XPE superior architectural properties such as scalability, security, performance, and reliability.
