Allegro's Service Oriented Architecture allows customers to select only the components and functionalities they need, simplifying deployment and enabling companies to quickly expand into new markets.  Additionally, Allegro supports a Standardized Integration Component Platform, allowing external systems and data sources to directly integrate with the Allegro platform.  As a result, Allegro's solutions are readily implemented and expanded, offering customers the most extensible and adaptable ETRM solution available.  The Service Oriented Architecture allows Allegro to separate business functions into distinct components or services, which enables tailored solutions that address each company’s specific needs.  Allegro’s Standardized Integration Component Platform simplifies the process by which Allegro can integrate and communicate with external systems, thus helping companies capture market behavior and leverage existing enterprise platforms.

• Allegro’s SOA separates distinct technology services that can be combined, reused and leveraged in the extension of Allegro solutions.  These highly configurable services communicate with each other by exchanging data or by coordinating an activity between two or more services.  The SOA offers a flexible and scalable platform that can be easily customized, extended and integrated with existing application platforms, including SAP.
• The Standardized Integration Component Platform makes Allegro easier to design and quicker to deploy, modify and maintain.  Allegro’s open standards web services architecture simplifies communication between Allegro and other applications.  An example of the power of this technology is the successful collaboration of Allegro and its partners in offering two-way connectivity to over 22 commodity exchanges and multiple pricing data providers.
• The flexibility of the Allegro architecture empowers users with the capability to manipulate and configure the metadata-driven data model, providing organizations with a customizable solution.  This data model allows security-enabled users to easily add columns, tables, classes, constraints and indexes, as well as manipulate the visual model for customized views, messaging events and workflow processes.
