Service Component Architecture (SCA)

SCA is a Group 2000 framework for system development and integration

It groups functionality around business processes and packages it as interoperable services. It allows different applications to exchange data as they participate in business processes. Our SCA is independent of any type of application server, programming language or other technologies.

SCA separates functionality in distinct services which are made accessible over a network. Services can be combined and reused in product and business applications (processes). They communicate by passing data from one service to another and they can coordinate activities over two or more services. Group 2000’s SCA is based on distributed computing and modular programming. It provides a solid basis because of reusable, field proven  software components. Our SCA can serve both ‘existing’ and new (enterprise) services and adds structure to your ICT environment. Besides the standard features, Group 2000 offers various additional modules.
