| What is ADP Employease Extend? |
| ADP Employease Extend is made up of a collection of flexible web services that enable provisioning of data, consumption of data and execution of processes within HR/B. No proprietary programming languages are required to develop or implement ADP Employease Extend Core Services. |
| ADP Employease Extend separates the presentation layer from the application layer so that organizations can integrate with any other system or entity across the network regardless of programming language, platform, device, or web browser. |
| What is a portal? |
Everyone has their own definition of a portal. There are three key characteristics of a portal:
- "One stop shopping" that provides access to content, applications and collaborative or community building functionality
- Personalized views that provide this access in the context of an individual's preferences and business rules
- Flexible navigation, including both pre-defined roadmaps and powerful free-form search
Generally a portal is an umbrella application or framework which can effectively organize and present information from multiple applications. |
| What is a portlet? |
| A portlet is a program which allows a portal to access another program or information. There is often more than one portlet for a given application or information set, linking the portal to a different view of the application or piece of data. |
| What is HR-XML |
The HR-XML consortium focuses on the payload specifications for HR, while ADP Employease Composite Services refer to the APIs and tools needed to manipulate the payload. For more information on HR-XML go here. |
| What is ebXML? |
| "ebXML enables enterprises of any size, in any location to meet and conduct business through the exchange of XML-based messages." For more information on ebXML go here. |
| What is SOAP? |
