Introduction

This document provides an overview of the solution architecture of IBM® Cúram Social Program Management ™ from a business, development and deployment perspective. Cúram is a comprehensive commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) solution for Social Enterprises. IBM Cúram Social Program Management™ also includes a environment for organizations wishing to develop their own Social Enterprise Management applications, or to augment those provided by IBM. An architectural description of IBM Cúram Social Program Management™ must thus describe the components of existing "out-of-the-box" business applications, and the technical architecture of the framework which underpins those applications and is reusable by developers building additional ones.
