Chapter 2
The e-Con Product
This chapter describes the e-Con product and its architecture. First, a general overview is
provided, followed by a more detailed description of the architecture.
2.1 General Overview
e-Con inserts records at the Back End, in this case the Axapta SQL database. In Axapta,
the Generic Model is built (the records and fields that are to be part of the data structure
and how that structure is to be configured). Modeler intelligence is added to the model, in
the form of rules such as IF – THEN – or ELSE. Actual configuration takes place at the
Front End. The choices made by the end user influence the value of the configured
records and fields.
The concept of e-Con is based on the following:
• Component-based
• A generic solution, both functionally and technologically
• State-of-the-art technology (e.g. use of XML, Internet technology)
This means that e-Con is not a solution built exclusively for Axapta. e-Con will also work
with other ERP packages, databases and even stand-alone systems. Integration of
Internet technology as the basis of e-Con’s functionality demonstrates that e-Con is a true
state-of-the-art business solution.
The objective of e-Con is to make all required configuration functionality available in any
situation. Within the scope of technological possibilities, total flexibility is offered. "All that
should be configured, can be configured" is a motto designed to clarify that e-Con can be
used for configuring products, service calls, time sheets, prospect data, and much more.
