RU-RU Communication (R2P)

Expectations

Interoperability

  • openess: business and technical concept as well as specifications are freely available
  • separation of logical and technical model allows different technical implementations
  • adapter and gateway functions translate between various implementations
  • modular approach enables acceptance and spread through step-by-step introduction
  • scalability for small, medium and large enterprises

Sustainability

  • future oriented approach
  • expandable
  • scalable

Architecture

The concept and the architecture consider the elements of the TAF/TAP TSI Standards but go beyond.

The concept considers

  • the Master Data

R2P is based on modules and consists of four major elements:

  • Interfaces
  • Web-Interface
  • Gateway to TAF-compatible world
  • Administration module
