Adeptia Suite is a Java-based application designed using the J2EE framework. It is built using the state-of-the-art technologies and open standards. It uses XML, XSLT, Java (JMX, JDO, JCA, JMS, etc.) Swing, and web services. XML is the core data format used in the integration component. However, the application supports a wide range of disparate formats and structures.
Adeptia Suite utilizes the typical N-tier application architecture. This is displayed in Figure 1.

Its unique feature is that the Presentation Layer is completely web-based, and thus can be used by business users or developers from anywhere at any time. The user-interface layer is used by developers at design time, and by business users at the run time to interact with workflow tasks. The Application Layer is a set of java-based server side programs, residing on the central server and is used for executing process flows. The Data Layer represents the database, where all business rules, design rules, activity instances, and process flows are stored. Run time logs are also stored in the database.
The Adeptia Suite follows a Hub-and-Spoke model in terms of deployment in an IT infrastructure. It acts as a central hub, with connections to other systems and external partners as spokes in this model. The main server implements and executes process flows and integrations. It achieves great scalability in performance using its clustering feature. Additionally, it follows a Store and Forward framework. Any incoming data can be archived and then converted into an XML format for further processing.
