continON/Architecture
How the layers hold together.
A conceptual view of continON — the layers a user, an administrator and an integrator each work with, and how they connect to the systems an organization already runs. It describes the shape of the platform, not its internal engineering.
The layer model
- ExperienceThe role-aware interface each user works in — the same platform, shaped to what their responsibilities require.
- ApplicationsThe working areas: finance, workforce, procurement, records and the rest, composed from shared services.
- Workflow & configurationHow processes move and how each area is defined — changed in the platform, not re-engineered.
- Identity & permissionsUsers, roles and organizational units, with the authorized view enforced everywhere.
- DataThe records and references the organization owns, held once and shared across applications.
- IntegrationThe single edge that reaches outside — defined exchange with systems already in service.
- DeploymentWhere the platform runs — cloud, on-premises or private infrastructure — under the organization’s control.
A public-safe model. It does not describe source structure, infrastructure topology or security-sensitive internals.
How the layers relate
Each layer stands on the one beneath it.
Read the model downward and the relationships appear. What a person sees at the top is decided by the identity and permissions below it. Work runs on the organizational structure rather than beside it, and every record writes to the same data, so the applications above stay in agreement. Only the integration layer reaches outside — everything above it is one environment, not a set of parts wired together.
