Oracle Transportation Management (OTM)

Architecture Overview Oracle Transportation Management is built for interactive environments that leverage the internet as an information backbone to capture reference data such as updates to carriers, carrier rates, shipping schedules, locations, ports, and other logistics sources. The underlying architecture is a unique multi-enterprise data model with n-tier web and application servers, partitioned database server, native XML language, extensible style sheets, advanced data security, and optimal caching. Oracle Transportation Management is highly distributed and collaborative. It is written in Java and uses Enterprise Java Beans, XML, HTML, and XSL technologies. The design is based on a thin HTML client/fat application architecture so that applications are easily deployable and accessible by multiple enterprises. It supports comprehensive integration via XML APIs to all of the application logic.
