Context Delivery Architecture (CoDA)

What is Context Delivery Architecture (CoDA)?
Context Delivery Architecture (CoDA) is a common term (commonly attributed to Gartner) that refers to the need for applications and modular parts of systems to be context aware, or in other words to learn as much as possible about a user context.

In a certain sense, the context delivery architecture is a component of context-aware computing (CAC). In CAC, the goal is to provide more contextual details for a given user interaction. This can be viewed as a similar goal to any other data used in data storage - breaking silos, removing barriers to information, and disseminating information that is stored in the broadest, most dynamic way possible. Another way to take this into account is through the specific techniques used by companies such as: B. Cross-indexing, in which archived information is in turn brought to a specific user point.

One example is the use of customer identifiers in different parts of the software architecture. A customer name or other identifier could be built into a transactional database, but not into software systems that salespeople or other employees use in various other contexts. This is where CAC helps promote better 'universal' access to this information and other types of information. Applications become smarter about the background and history of the relationship between a customer and a company, for example by adding all kinds of other archived information, such as shopping stories, or even age and location or other demographic information.

IT-Experten behaupten, dass der Begriff ‚Context Delivery Architecture‘ ziemlich unklar und proprietär ist, und dass diese Art von CAC in Wirklichkeit tatsächlich durch bestimmte Arten von Vendor Services geschehen wird. Ein Beispiel ist das Customer Relationship Management (CRM). Customer-Relationship-Management-Tools basieren auf CAC, da sie gespeicherte Informationen über den Hintergrund und den Verlauf eines Kunden, Transaktionen, Identifikatoren, Demografien und mehr zusammenfassen, um Vertriebsmitarbeitern, die es an einem bestimmten Kontaktpunkt verwenden, zu helfen. Diese allgemeine Art von Prinzipien wird voraussichtlich zu einem der heißesten neuen Technologietrends in den kommenden Jahren werden.
