Nextjet's solution provides packaged business functionality as well as a technology framework for enabling a command and control center that coordinates, synchronizes, and directs disparate systems, achieving shipment order and inventory visibility to all parties.

As shown above, the components of Nextjet's technology framework address the following management requirements across the order lifecycle:

• External and Internal Web Interfaces: Provides a presentation layer that defines the role of each user (i.e., user constituents internal and external to the enterprise) and relevant level of access to the various systems via a single sign-on capability.
  
  
• Integration Services Framework: Provides the connectivity between the various customer-facing systems, enterprise back-office functions, and supplier systems via an integration backbone. Nextjet's robust Integration Services Framework leverages many proven 3rd party integration tools for batch & real-time connectivity.
  
  
• Business Process Management: Provides an order-level and administrative-level environment to create and manage cross-functional, cross-application workflows. As business requirements change, business process owners can easily adapt or re-configure the system with minimal IT support and cost.
  
  
• Business Intelligence: Enables closed-loop performance management by aggregating real-time transaction data from mulitple systems to create an integrated "Order Lifecycle System of Record". Clients can utilize the Nextjet Reporting Module or their existing third-party reporting applications.
  
  
• Business Activity Monitoring (or real-time BI): Provides a highly flexible event management framework for continuous monitoring of user and event definitions, and notification of alerts using a broad range of media (email, phone, web, fax, etc.)
  
  
• Transaction Management: This refers to the J2EE-based business applications or functionality that support the capture-source-fulfill-settle-service processes.
