General

A Stato-based system uses multi-layer architecture. At the minimum, the layers include display logic, business logic and data structure. Normally, however, there are more layers than that, since there is often more than one layer of both business logic and data source. Stato can be implemented in an application server environment (e.g. the standardized application environment of an organization), in connection with HTTP Server and database (when Stato is used as the primary platform for network services) or Stato can be run as an independent server (developing environment and limited network services). With Stato, the organization is able to standardize the principles of their data distribution and integration and to attach different data sources to the chosen channels. Operation models are a significant part of efficiency in organizations. They minimize the risks related to responsibilities of few cabable experts in organizations. Stato is also a channel-independent platform for information portals. The standardized and layered structure of Stato uses publishing preforms that enable the introduction of new publishing channels in the future, alongside channels used today. The information managed with Stato can be used in every channel without having to make any changes to the information. Stato utilizes a template or a page preform model when publishing to channels and when creating the format in which they are presented. The page preforms are formed in accordance with the data terminal equipment, which means that information can be viewed in different scales in different channels.
