Everything you need to connect business systems and applications
Data, application and system integration does not have to be expensive or complicated. The Frank!Framework is an open-source platform that allows you to easily connect existing business systems and thousands of business applications yourself.
What is the Frank!Framework?
The Frank!Framework is a secure and stable platform for integrating business systems and applications. It is an open-source framework, developed by WeAreFrank! among others, to realize customized Java connections for complex business systems in a relatively simple way.
Thanks to the more than 100 ready-made building blocks, you have all the components together to easily connect business systems and applications. You decide which building blocks you use and, thanks to the management module, you always maintain control of your integration process. This way you can quickly achieve results without high costs.
Easily track and manage the status of each connected adapter. Gain insight into your chain, version information, message status, error logs and messages in the pipeline.
You get a clear overview because the basis is the same for all systems and only the adapters per system need to be configured.
All separate systems are connected in a uniform manner. When changes are made to a system, only one connection needs to be adjusted and not all the connections separately.
Why choose the Frank!Framework?
Of course, you can simply write a Java connection for every two systems that want to communicate. But in practice this is often more complex than in theory. Things like a company takeover, a new software package, different business operations and innovations mean that multiple systems suddenly have to communicate with each other. Then it doesn't stop at just one Java connection. Before you know it, you have a tangle of different systems that are almost impossible to separate. Adjustments are complex, time-consuming and very error-prone. The chance of data loss is high.
Anyone who works with the Frank!Framework doesn't have to worry about security and complicated structures. The Frank!Framework actually provides an overview because the basis for all systems is the same and only the adapters per system need to be configured. As a result, complex programming is no longer required to allow different systems and/or applications to communicate with each other.
You can use our open-source software for free, which is at least as versatile as expensive closed-source software. In addition, we offer a cheap management contract for the Frank!Framework and the applications.
WeAreFrank! is the main contributor of the Frank!Framework and provides services on the Frank!Framework as well. Because the connections in the Frank!Framework are configured at a higher level of abstraction, you do not need expensive Java developers but comparable Java and integration solutions can be implemented by excellent developers for a fair price. Moreover, this price is communicated openly and honestly in advance and you will not be faced with surprises afterwards.
Because all applications on the Frank!Framework work according to the same management module, things like resending messages, analyzing message flows and reporting can be done by the organization itself, without the intervention of a programmer. Of 1,000 incidents, you can solve 999 of them yourself. This way, your developers can focus on their own work.
The Frank!Framework has an extensive management environment (Frank!Console) in which the status of each connected adapter can be easily followed and managed. The management module provides insight into version data, status of implemented messages, error logs and messages in the pipeline. The module also has a test framework, with which adapters can be checked for correct operation using predefined messages. It doesn't get more transparent than that!
From the basis of the Frank!Framework, many functionalities and standard links for business software are already available. As a result, no additional programming is required.
Because the Frank!Framework is stateless, it can be scaled infinitely, automatically or not, on your business systems or in the various clouds that the Frank!Framework supports.
Our applications effortlessly process thousands of messages per minute. Because each adapter uses the basic functionalities of the Frank!Framework, the number of adapters can be expanded without disproportionately increasing the available hardware.
Within the Frank!Framework we work exclusively with open standards. This allows other developers to quickly and easily get started with the framework and develop adapters. All users benefit from this. Open and honest.
Automated testing and debugging, as well as the development of test scenarios always takes place in a uniform manner. This saves on development capacity, among other things. Because all processes are carried out in a uniform manner, this creates interchangeability between the people who have to carry this out. Large numbers of adapters can be built offshore relatively easily. This results in considerable savings in programming costs.
The costs of implementation and maintenance of the Frank!Framework are 100% clear in advance and therefore predictable. Together we ensure fair agreements!
A daily build of the Frank!Framework, where we guarantee 0 CVEs. For our enterprise customers, we deliver feature, performance and security releases every quarter.
