Siebel eBusiness Platform is an application platform which provides a complete suite of configuration and operational tools and services including interfaces, data synchronization and replication, workflow, assignment, and security. An application platform masks the underlying specificity of the development environment, specifically the Operating System (OS) and the Database Management System (DBMS). This enables the development of applications that are independent of the hardware and OS platforms and of the programming language. All Siebel eBusiness Applications are developed and deployed atop the Siebel eBusiness Platform. Siebel e Business Platform is based on an object architecture in which the user interface, logic, and data are separated into four clearly delineated logical layers: physical User Interface (UI) rendering, logical UI definition, business logic, and data access. This object architecture provides enhancements without having to replace the existing underlying architecture. |
