ARBA’s Azure Cloud Based Web POS Solution

The ARBA POS solutions are designed as web services applications, and the ARBA web applications are deployed on Microsoft Azure web server. Web Services are self-contained, modular applications that can be described, published, located, and invoked over a network, generally, the World Wide Web (www).

Web services are used to do program to program interactions. Web services allow us to deploy e-business solutions faster. We can now easily Build, Deploy, Run and Manage applications.

Key Web Services Building Blocks on Microsoft Azure

DATA Store – is the Azure SQL server database. It has Users and Roles information, and POS application information – Inventory, Customers, Employees. DATA Access Layer – This is implemented using Entity Framework. This Layer provides Entities using which Read / Write operations are performed.

WEB API Service Layer – Since the data needs to be exposed to the web and to various clients, we need open standards for data communication. This is possible using JavaScript Object Notation (JSON). UI Layer – This Layer is implemented using Angular JS for Data Display and user interaction. AngularJS is a powerful JavaSript framework used for building MVC based applications. Angular JS is used creating View Model on the client side.
