Xe Platform A Unifying Solution

The Xe platform is a sophisticated, services oriented (SOA) platform based on an n-Tier distributed architecture, designed to provide high scalability, reliability, modularity and extensibility. This platform has many advantages over traditional, proprietary, and monolithic systems and applications:

          • promotes a highly adaptable and maintainable system
          • faster integration with new products, devices and services
          • greater flexibility, customization and configurability
          • uses software development tools, technologies and standards including object
            oriented programming, C#, SOAP, XML, ASP.NET, COM+ and software patterns

The Xe platform is the core engine that drives applications, services and functionality that supports business and operational systems in the digital supply chain. Its architecture separates system functionality into a collection of logical layers, each consisting of services, processes and user interfaces, all operating together and contributing to the solution. The object-relational database has the capability to track a tremendous amount of metadata based on accepted metadata dictionaries and standards.

All of this data and information can be accessed and acted on in relation to the system’s devices and resources and in relation to workflow services and activities such as schedules, playlists, logs, recordings, inventory, status, reports and notifications. The key is that the information in the database is used to create, modify and execute the workflow.
 
An event-based, transactional system, interacting with data for the provisioning and fulfillment of workflow requests, changes the paradigm of television operations. The Xe platform establishes a unifying solution embracing the quickly evolving and changing digital revolution.
