Principles and Platform

Section Overview​

This section covers three main areas:

  • Principles and Platform - Architectural principles and the Enactor platform stack
  • Cloud and Central Components - Estate Manager and Commerce microservices
  • POS and Edge - Deployment models and store topologies

Architectural Principles​

  • Platform, OS, and Database Agnostic
  • Hardware Independent
  • Ability to support all Mobile, Fixed, and HHT devices from the same code-base
  • Fully support any size of Store Estates
  • Support the full range of Online and Offline scenarios
  • Allow the Database, Back Office, and Mobile Server to be centralised OR distributed
  • Global, central configuration of all Stores and Devices regardless of the chosen Architecture
  • API First Architecture
