The Flexibility of Open Architecture
For universal controls to be effective, they generally require an open architecture, such as SOA interfaces, Web services, and open APIs. Controls must be easily able to be readily integrated with already existing, deployed commercial or custom applications. Plug-and-play third-party Policy Enforcement Points (PEPs) can be created through integrating a Policy Decision Point (PDPs) with devices, systems and applications for applying universal controls.

Famous quotes containing the words open and/or architecture:
“Some collaboration has to take place in the mind between the woman and the man before the art of creation can be accomplished. Some marriage of opposites has to be consummated. The whole of the mind must lie wide open if we are to get the sense that the writer is communicating his experience with perfect fullness.”
—Virginia Woolf (1882–1941)
“No architecture is so haughty as that which is simple.”
—John Ruskin (1819–1900)
