                                    care, clinical, and financial management applications.
                                
                                    Expensive integration engines are a thing of the past; eCAF is not available for
                                    purchase, instead it underpins our full eKIDS suite, and is included with each and
                                    every system in the suite.
                                
                                
                                    The HL7 adapter component of eCAF enables control and management of existing HL7
                                    feeds to save significant time and money. The adapter leverages the latest in Microsoft®
                                    .NET Technology, providing the power and flexibility to integrate with existing
                                    applications.
                                
                                    The presence of an HL7 interface engine in a healthcare environment gives more control
                                    to an organisation and saves money and time by: Reducing the required number of
                                    export and import endpoints Allowing for reuse of data between applications Providing
                                    an easier method to interface new application Providing the ability to monitor the
                                    entire system at one time providing the ability to proactively notify interested
                                    persons using visual display and e-mail, when problems arise.
                                
                                    In addition to the HL7 adapter, eCAF enables integration using other industry standards,
                                    such as SOAP, XML, TCP/IP, HTTP and FTP.
