flexible and scalable. The business logic resides in the
middle tier which is developed using COM+ of MS Windows
2000.This includes COM, DCOM, MTS & MSMQ. The component
based middle tier can be implemented incrementally and
can also be configured or changed to support any future
requirements. e-Bird© uses Microsoft Transactions
Server (MTS) for online distributed database transactions
and Microsoft Message Queue (MSMQ) for offline database
transactions. Connectivity to the database tier is based
on the Microsoft UDA (Universal Data Access) philosophy.
