The ShipNet architecture supports the “Lego block” concept allowing great flexibility in combining existing logic and components (building blocks) in various new ways to meet new demands.

The obvious benefit for customers is a system with great flexibility and adaptability whilst at the same time it is a standardized product.

The benefit for ShipNet is a reduced code base offering more functionality with reduced cost on development, quality assurance and support.

Service-oriented architecture – SOA

The thinking behind SOA is to unify business processes by structuring large applications as a collection of smaller modules called services where new functionality is built from a combination of these services.

SOA fits very well with ShipNet’s strategy for external integration and evolutionary progression. Building new applications or functionality through combining existing services with new services makes achieving the desired goal and speed much easier and more deployable.

ShipNet is committed to follow the SOA architecture thinking in the architectural development for version 12.
