The Conductra architecture is solely based on
Bringing the project team together
Bringing the project team together.
Sun's Java environment. Conductra uses 3-tier client / server architecture. The thin client is implemented through a set of Java applets. The middle tier is implemented at the server side. The application business logic is implemented using Thread-Safe Java Servlets. The database is accessed by servlets using JDBC. The Middletier Servlets and Database servers can be deployed on the same server host or different servers to support high levels of scaling. The communication between applets running at client system and servlets running at the server side is achieved using HTTP/HTTPS request and response objects. The HTTP/HTTPS protocol is used to provide access across firewalls. The concurrent access to Conductra by multiple users is facilitated through the thread-safe design of servlets.

  Driving technologies In Conductra
100% Server & Client side Java:
Spiral Depicting the project cycle
This architecture provides significant performance advantages by allowing Java applets to load and execute at the client level. In addition, it frees up the Server side Java servlets to process on a demand basis thus providing optimum performance of the application.
Built in Scheduling Engine:
Spiral Depicting the project cycle
The core to any project management technology is the scheduling engine. This engine is fundamental to providing resource loading, resource scheduling, critical path identification, and true project control. Very few project management tools provide an internal Scheduling Engine and therefore need to rely on other technologies in order to provide a complete project management offering. A significant amount of Conductra's development effort was devoted to the creation of an internal Scheduling Engine based on the Standish Algorithm. This feature allows Conductra to be a true stand-alone product.
Automatic Notification (push technology):
Spiral Depicting the project cycle
Critical to the success of any project is the ability to keep the project delivery on time and on budget. Automatic Notification with a push technology implementation delivers automated messaging to personnel involved in the project. This messaging alerts the personnel of critical path deliverables and timetables, allowing the project to remain on schedule and within budget. The technology proactively notifies all project resources with task reminders and project information, keeping all team members up to date in real time.
Time-Zone Management:
Spiral Depicting the project cycle
When running a multi-location project spanned across multiple time zones, a major challenge is created in trying to synchronize to a single time zone standard. As project updates are entered, they are time-stamped to the local system and time zone. This creates problems for the central point of project management in trying to coordinate tasks, milestones, and deliverables against all of these time zones. With built-in Time Zone Management, Conductra allows the project manager to select a central time-zone location and then Conductra synchronizes all project plan entries to the time zone selected as the point of control.
