Face office (data-processing)
In Data-processing, the term face office is a term of software architecture. It indicates the part which deals with the interface of application, in opposition to the back office which gathers the part management to him (which, compared to an architecture Architecture three thirds gathers the trade part and data).
One finds typically the face office in the commercial Web sites which make it possible to order on line or that of the banks allowing to manage accounts on line. In this case, the face office corresponds to the part Hypertexte (Web) of the application, therefore what is visible by the consuming . It enables him to interact with the remainder of the site, for example, to carry out purchases, a credit transfer, etc
By analogy, one can compare the face-office with the part of a store which is attended by the customers, while the back-office corresponds more to the administration, the warehouses, the exchanges with the partners, etc
