MCommunity System Architecture

The overall architecture for the new MCommunity enterprise directory is basically that of a hub and spokes, with the hub being the data repository, and the spokes being various databases (such as M-Pathways' HEPROD, the alumni DAC, and the Flint and Dearborn campus directories) and services (such as the white pages application, the sponsor system, and the system for creating uniqnames).
