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:
“All of the valuable qualities ... like helping in the development of others—will not get you to the top at General Motors, were that path open to women.... The characteristics most highly developed in women and perhaps most essential to human beings are the very characteristics that are specifically dysfunctional for success in the world as it is.... They may, however, be the important ones for making the world different.”
—Jean Baker Miller (20th century)
“Polarized light showed the secret architecture of bodies; and when the second-sight of the mind is opened, now one color or form or gesture, and now another, has a pungency, as if a more interior ray had been emitted, disclosing its deep holdings in the frame of things.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
