Comprehensive ServiceLayer Coverage

Fast Implementation Easy Integration and Extension Flexibility

Business Requirements
Complexity created by cross-channel customer behavior, nu-
merous touch points, and multiple sales and communication
channels requires flexible technology. As business evolves and
new capabilities are requested, your technology needs to easily
adapt. Offering a compelling shopping experience requires the
ability to deliver a broad range of functionality such as promo-
tions, personalized content, intelligent search and navigation,
and much more and you need to be able adjust these fea-
tures based on customer targets and behavior. You also need
to enable interaction across emerging channels. Today, online
access is not limited to the Web. Mobile is increasingly gain-
ing in importance and you need to be able to support a range of
platforms, including iOS, Android, Windows Mobile, and more.
Finally, staying ahead of the competition requires the continual
evolution of your capabilities to adapt to new trends and chang-
ing customer expectations. Agility is critical the faster you can
adapt, the greater your competitive advantage.

Solution
hybris ServiceLayer provides a service- and interface-oriented
software architecture that adheres to modern software devel-
opment paradigms. Based on the Spring framework, business
logic is implemented in fine-grained components which support
convention over configuration and dependency injection and
which use mockable components.
hybris supports the dependency injection design principle in
which a component's dependencies are not managed by the
component itself but configured externally. A container reads a
configuration file, resolves the dependencies, and assembles the
objects. When the objects are ready, all the dependencies are
already injected.

The service-oriented architecture consists of autonomous com-
ponents that communicate via well-defined interfaces. Keeping
all components as small as possible simplifies the update and/
or upgrade of functions by changing only a particular compo-
nent. ServiceLayer is interface-oriented, which means that soft-
ware engineers dont have to understand the background of how
the application runs or how each component is connected to the
others they just need to know how to use each component.
hybris ServiceLayer enables you to streamline your development
processes and ensure high-quality applications. Supporting
convention over configuration enables your developers to spend
more time delivering business-generating functionality and less
time on configuring the system.
Mockable components enable developers to test functionality
more efficiently, quickly, and independently from the complete
application stack. This allows developers to detect, analyze, and
resolve bugs in early development stages for faster implementa-
tion.
hybris uses the Spring framework, which enables partners and
customers to easily and quickly familiarize themselves with the
environment, bringing agility and flexibility to your IT depart-
ment and enabling you to adapt to changing business models
and to partner dynamically.

grained components
The layered architecture provides a clear interface to the
business logic making it easy to separate the front end
System Requirements
Streamlined development: Reduced software design
complexity. Faster changes and improved service
reusability. Easier and faster testing, leading to shorter
development cycles and improved software quality.
Increased flexibility and extensibility: Easier extension
or replacement of existing logic. Partners can easily
customize, extend, or replace to meet the requirements
of a specific project.
Easier integration: Easier to connect to new clients.
Easier integration in a multichannel environment.
