Use interactive Qworum services as building blocks for your web applications.

The Qworum platform

Implement once, call from everywhere:
Web applications are usually monolithic entities. Each website feature generally has to be implemented by the site itself. Plus, the feature's user interface must be created and integrated into the site. If a second website needs that same feature, then you have to start all over again. Qworum changes all that by introducing a new type of service that contains its own user interface. It is called the Qworum service. Once a website implements some functionality as a Qworum service, other websites can also use that functionality. Think about the development time you can spare. That's software reuse, network-wide.

A new web format:
Qworum defines a new XML-based web format that is handled by web browsers. Websites use it for calling Qworum services. Services use it for returning results to their callers, for storing their internal state on browsers, and even for calling other Qworum services. What about the user interface? Well, Qworum services rely on existing formats like HTML for that. That's minimalism.

An open technology:
The Qworum specifications are open. Anyone is free to implement Qworum on web browsers and other user agents, be it natively or as an add-on. Internet websites are free to use Qworum. In addition, third parties are welcome to participate in the specification elaboration process. That's openness.

Start now:
You can start updating your web development skills right away. A Qworum implementation is available, as well as plenty of documentation.

Business Usage Scenarios

Business Integration:
Qworum is an integration platform that is entirely service-based. Services are combined for building business applications or adding features to existing applications. It is able to handle user-facing processes, contrary to other integration platforms which are primarily used for automated processes. As such, it is particularly well suited for Service-Oriented Architectures, which are widely accepted as yielding information systems that are more agile, better able to adapt to changing conditions in a quick and cost-effective manner.

Software as a Service (SaaS) Integration:
By using Qworum, SaaS vendors are able address one of the biggest concerns of business customers: easy and secure integration of services into information systems. With Qworum, businesses are able to perform real-time SaaS integration, thus making SaaS just as effective and practical as on-premise services.

Other Usage Scenarios

Integration Between Internet Websites:
Internet websites that provide services to other websites for authentication (OAuth, OpenID), payment processing (Google Checkout, PayPal Express Checkout) and other purposes can use Qworum for integrating their services into remote websites.

Website Modularisation:
Websites can contain Qworum services that they use internally, in order to avoid code duplication.
