OVERVIEW

In any medium to large IT projects, the major challenge is not the actual solution but the way in which it is engineered. All the great buildings in the world that have stood the test of time has always been constructed on a solid framework and foundation. In the same vein, Cambridge has realized the need to have a technology framework that not only contains industry standard technology components but also all the best practices that enable a programming team to create a solution which has the following characterestics:

• Imposes standards for coding style, calling sequence and avoids technical traps such as memory leaks
• Reduces the redundancy of coding which results in higher programmer efficiency
• All the key actions that the software needs to perform is built as part of the abstract design framework rather than leaving them to the individual module programmers
• Ability to upgrade framework with minimal or no code change through the usage of Canonical Models
• Enable rapid construction / prototyping
• Based on Object Oriented Service Oriented Architecture
