Serve several programs from one installation, with ready-made solution templates
Also listed as: Multi-tenant architecture & solution templates
What is it?
One Xelence installation can serve several separate programs or organizations, each with its own data kept apart. This is called a multi-tenant setup. New applications can start from ready-made solution templates instead of from scratch.
Why does it matter?
Lower running costs on shared infrastructure, and faster starts for new programs.
Start thinking about
- Which hosting model, cloud or your own data center, fits your agency's policies and IT strategy?
- Would you run more than one program or organization on one installation, and how must their data be kept apart?
- Which custom extensions and code would need retesting each time the platform version changes?
- Who in your organization approves platform, database and hosting changes in each environment?
- How will you schedule platform upgrades around your busiest periods, such as year-end or payment runs?
- Do your public portals need to serve constituents in more than one language?
