The Avato Platform

A stable layer for continuous change.

Avato is a configuration-driven orchestration platform that helps independent systems, services and organizations work together without requiring them to share the same technology, data model, release cycle or owner.

It gives organizations a place to absorb change — adapting interfaces and information, coordinating processes, applying policy and making operational activity visible — while the systems around it evolve independently.

Why it exists

The problem is not simply integration. It is coupling.

Systems become difficult to change when applications depend directly on one another’s protocols, data structures, release decisions and implementation details.

Independent interfaces

Expose stable service boundaries without forcing every participant to use the same protocol or interaction style.

Independent representations

Transform and normalize information where useful while allowing each system to retain the representation that fits it.

Independent evolution

Change or replace systems behind stable boundaries without repeatedly redesigning every connected application.

What Avato does

Receive. Govern. Adapt. Coordinate. Observe.

Avato handles the work between participants so integration logic does not have to be scattered throughout the applications themselves.

Architectural principles

Designed for heterogeneous environments that will stay heterogeneous.

Configuration-driven behaviour

Express solution behaviour through reusable configuration.

Representation independence

Let information be exposed, transformed and consumed in the form best suited to each participant.

Transport independence

Keep business interactions from being unnecessarily bound to one communication mechanism.

Contract independence

Create durable boundaries so one system can change without forcing every consumer to change.

Leverage through composition

Build larger capabilities from smaller reusable components, patterns and configuration.

Deployment independence

Keep integration assets consistent as infrastructure evolves across environments.

Configuration over custom code

Make the integration explicit, inspectable and reusable.

Customer implementations to date have not required customers to write custom Java code. Where a genuinely new interface, protocol or low-level capability is required, Avato can extend the platform and expose that capability for reuse through configuration.

<Transformer name="xml-to-edi"
  xformRequest="/xml-edi.xsl">
  <Description>Converts input XML into EDI data</Description>
  <Listening>
    <Address>/edi/from-xml</Address>
  </Listening>
  <Forwarding>
    <Address>/file/writer</Address>
  </Forwarding>
</Transformer>

Operational assurance

Integration is only useful when you can understand what happened.

Avato combines orchestration with operational visibility so teams can follow activity across distributed interactions, diagnose failures and verify that critical paths continue to work.

Correlation & history

Follow related activity across services.

Diagnostics

Inspect messages, errors and integration behaviour.

Recovery

Support controlled failure handling and replay where appropriate.

Active verification

Use automated tests, synthetic transactions and scheduled verification.

Start where it makes sense

One integration. A business domain. A distributed ecosystem.

Avato does not require an enterprise-wide rollout. The same architectural approach can begin with a focused interaction and expand as reusable capability accumulates.

Focused intermediary

Introduce Avato for a specific integration or modernization requirement.

Domain orchestration

Create stable shared interfaces across a business domain.

Interoperability fabric

Extend common patterns across business units or independent organizations.

Deployment & customer control

Fit the platform to the environment — not the environment to the platform.

Avato is designed to operate within customer-controlled infrastructure and existing enterprise practices.
