Application Platform Characteristics

• Interactive

– Applications are interactive by nature. Data is entered, and results/reports are returned.

• Composable

– Applications tend to have one or more parts that compose the user interface. These parts may interact with each other as needed.

• Data Driven

– Applications are data intensive. Data has to be structures, stored & manipulated.

Application Platform Characteristics

• Integrated

– Applications often integrate with other systems. These can be a variety of data feeds, either within or outside the organization.

• Extensible

– Applications are extensible by nature. They often support add-ons or plug-ins used to tailor an application or make deployment easier.

• Searchable

– Applications often search data/content across datasets.
