SCORE Adaptive Bridges

Launch of a new product

SCORE Adaptive Bridges is the newest member of our SCORE product family. Its main application area are integration tasks focused on the integration of “old worlds” with “new ones”. E.g. the integration of host-based legacy systems into modern enterprise portals.

Emerging Technologies are the foundation for a profoundly adaptable integration toolset!

Emerging Technologies are the foundation for a profoundly adaptable integration toolset!

Within such integration projects SCORE Adaptive Bridges with its built-in generators provides:

  • higher productivity
  • better maintenance
  • reduced project duration

Therefore in many cases integration projects become possible for the first time, opening the door for the reuse of already available, business critical and productive application implementations. We are calling this ROEI – Return On Existing Investment.

Emerging Technologies as engine

Using SCORE Adaptive Bridges you define adaptive services for the integration of legacy applications. These adaptive services consist of the Legacy Interface, the Service Interface and the mapping between them. This is done with tools, which offer a maximum of built-in convenience and intelligence within their graphical user interfaces, e.g. validation routines implemented in ANGIE.

These platform-independent integration models are mapped to server and, if necessary, client-side implementations by a family of generators. The generated implementations are intermediate layers, which resolve many different integration tasks. These include the abstraction from the used middleware, the connection to a database system or the mapping of object-oriented interfaces to function-oriented ones, for example.

The implementation of the generators within SCORE Adaptive Bridges relies in essence on the usage of the core technologies ANGIE and HyperSenses. All generators and the repository management are implemented using ANGIE or HyperSenses. ANGIE as a generator language provides the foundation for HyperSenses – our "generator generator". HyperSenses is applied whenever specific generators should provide an extra amount of customizing, enabling a high-level of adaptability for project-specific requirements. In these cases the HyperSenses Pattern Composer as the tool for the interactive definition of patterns plays an important role.

Concerning our Emerging Technologies we are frequently asked: Is this really a product? Where are the application areas for these technologies? Is it possible to get more insight into it? The answers are "no" – "in our SCORE products" – "yes, it is". ANGIE and HyperSenses are technologies, not products. Indeed they could always be purchased and are being applied within practical projects. But they are not part of our standard product list. Our technologies are the foundation of our actual products SCORE Adaptive Bridges, AMELIO Modernization Platform and SCOUT² Development Platform.

Especially for SCORE Adaptive Bridges, we can offer you a free trial version of the easily usable Express Edition. This version is available free of charge and comprises full product functionality and a 30-day test license. We are providing the trial version for download or on CD – check this stuff out and try it for yourself! You will gain much more insight in an interesting application area for brand-new generator technologies!

Product variants for different tasks

We are offering SCORE Adaptive Bridges in several versions. Depending on the used version – Express Edition, Advanced Edition, or Enterprise Edition – our Emerging Technologies are visible or are working reliably hidden below the surface:

  • Express Edition – Low startup costs and an easy-to-use product are in the focus of this edition. ANGIE and HyperSenses form the technical basis, but are not directly visible to the end user.
  • Advanced Edition – This edition additionally allows the comprising integration of databases and support for project teams, as well as the specification of extra business logic. At certain locations it is possible for you to write ANGIE-Code to define special mappings.
  • Enterprise Edition – Addresses very large and ambitious integration projects. With this edition you have special scripting and code generation possibilities. Therefore our emerging technologies make an extendable and highly-flexible customizing possible. As well as ANGIE you can use the tool HyperSenses Active Intent, which provides an intelligent and context-sensitive support for the configuration process. As an add-on we offer our "Pattern SDK", which comprises the tool HyperSenses Pattern Composer, in particular – our model-based advancement of the concept tool Pattern By Example (PBE). This enables your project team to accomplish a proper adaption of the code generation to meet your project-specific needs.
