Services | AAF Data Training

AAF Data is DST’s Adaptív Application Foundation (AAF) Data Layer, delivering foundational business agility with Locally-Sourced, Artisanal Data™.

AAF Data philosophy and behavior is well documented but is intentionally quite different than typical object-relational mappers (ORMs), repository patterns, etc because these are actually unnecessary, poorly thought out anti-patterns that result in large amounts of statically-defined code that must be created and maintained … forever.  This slows organizations down, wastes their precious resources, and prevents them from being truly agile.  We want to make AAF Data’s revolutionary capabilities understood by everyone, regardless of technical level or available resources, so we can help explain, train, and certify your team so that you can start to understand and get the most from AAF Data’s clear, complete, consistent data sets and features today!

Remember that central to my Metis approach to application technical design is the assertion that business information systems are essentially composed of three basic kinds of things: business entities, processes, and rules.

• Entities represent the nouns — the persons, places, and things that these systems are intended to manage.  This is what AAF Data’s business entity models, database creation scripts, Dockerized, API-based RESTful business entity microservice (BEM) provide right out of the box.
• Processes are the verbs — the actions that operate on and orchestrate the interactions of these entities.  Standards-based business processes (along with lots more entities) are coming next from the AAF.
• Rules (or “decisions”) are the logic and conditions that inform and constrain these processes.  Standards-based business rules, including more complex and dynamic artificial intelligence (AI) services, are on the way from AAF too.

Let’s explain, train, and certify your team so that you can start to understand and get the most from AAF Data’s clear, complete, consistent data sets and features today!
