Monolithic systems today are less and less able to meet new requirements. Agility in innovative digital processes requires an IT infrastructure that makes change easy.
This is why the core of CONTACT Elements is its component architecture. Like Lego, Elements is modular rather than monolithic and comprises more than 50 technology, core service and special application modules. Open interfaces and a comprehensive dictionary link these modules with one another and with other open source and third-party components. The advantages:
- Continuous delivery: New or updated modules can be used without the need for a time-consuming overall system update.
- Error prevention and improved overall quality thanks to clear interfaces
- Easy integration of other elements from the open source community and legacy systems
- Lower total cost of ownership
