| Business Tier |
| NorthStar encapsulates business rules and consolidates the firm’s mid-office by providing a common platform based on business, application, data and platform services. |
 |
Business services integrate key product and client data through the Client Hierarchy and the Enterprise Product Hub. Business services coordinate between existing middle- and back-office processes, data and front-office applications − all to solve specific, real-world business problems. Also, business services APIs enable application developers to extend the platform. |
 |
Application services integrate analytics, calculators, and rules. NorthStar also supports run-time integration of key tools such as portfolio planning, wealth planning, mean variance optimizer, and a wealth forecasting engine. |

| Data Tier |
| At the data tier, NorthStar supports both live integration directly to an existing system record as well as bi-directional replication of data. Other systems require a consolidated enterprise database. With NorthStar’s direct integration approach, data redundancy and data replication are eliminated. |
 |
Data services facilitate data integration with existing systems and provide a consolidated view of data across multiple disparate back-office systems of record. |
 |
Platform services provide a foundation for enterprise applications, including integration, security, application workflows, alerts, and proposal generation. Together these services promote shared data, logic and processes for a truly integrated desktop. |
|
NorthStar also supports bi-directional replication of data via synchronous, asynchronous (message-based), and/or high volume batch mode. NorthStar uses a logical data model so data can be stored centrally or in a federated model. Business rules are applied at the business not the data tier, providing applications, rules, logic and workflow independence from where and how the data is stored and retrieved. |
