Afi has a technology team specialized in the use of the most highly demanded market standards, executing projects based on J2EE application servers (BEA Weblogic, IBM WebSphere, OAS etc.) and .Net. It uses various architectures (client-server, 3-layer web applications, Smart Clients, SOA, etc.), operating systems (Unix - AIX, Linux, Windows, Symbian OS and Pocket PC) and database management systems (Microsoft SQL Server and Oracle), and always applies a thorough and flexible methodology to monitor the complete life cycle of its products.
Since the creation in 1995 of Spain's first financial information portal, Infovía, Afi has always adopted the latest available standards, such as the syndication of XML-based content (since 1999) and the use of content annotation by semantic tools and ontologies (RDF) in 2003. In addition to using consolidated formats and patterns (XML, SOAP, WSDL, RDF, Struts etc.), we work on the definition and study of standards that are released or under development (including BPEL4WS, WSMO, WSML, OWL-S and WS-CDL).
Afi's technological expertise focuses on four types of products and services:
In addition to development activity, Afi dedicates a permanent percentage of resources to Research and Development projects, some of which have enjoyed the recognition and support from the National R&D, Ministry of Science and Technology and European programs.
