To complete the description of the characteristics of the Integrated Telematic Information System of Ports it is necessary to remark its attributes of integration, expandability and interoperability.

The Intelligent Gates system is based on a set of devices all supporting Ethernet interface and TCP / IP. The use of such technology and the ability of any single device to operate in standalone mode by transferring the information through a common standard protocol, can easily expand the system with no need to operate complex redesigns.

The CCS software, realized according to well known and effective development methodologies, programming languages and open operating platforms (open source software, Java 2 Enterprise Edition, etc..), tested paradigms that could be even extended (Service Oriented Architecture, Design Patterns, etc..) lends itself to extensibility and agreement with all external application platforms in order to deploy cooperation with other IT systems in the future.
This modular IT architecture, primarily based on the separation between business logic and presentation, is distributed on three layers (three tier) and also guarantees the scalability, reliability, security and maintainability requirements that are all essential for applications designed for Public Administrations and/or for some National Strategic Asset Management.

The private section of the web portal is the "presentation" of services offered by S.I.T.I.P.
Written entirely in Ajax (Asynchronous JavaScript and XML), S.I.T.I.P. provides the user with considerable experience of interactivity, making the web application very similar to a traditional desktop applications.
Application of the Model View Controller pattern provides great expandability and possibility of renewal in the graphics and features, with no impact on established business logic.
