PCC complements and integrates existing technologies rather than requiring their replacement. It turns the models, agents, sensors, data stores and services you already run into cooperating capabilities — under governed orchestration, with provenance and authority preserved.
Integration principles
- Complement, don’t replace. PCC sits alongside your stack, adding governance, coherence and continuity.
- Preserve the core. Domain profiles supply vocabulary and evidence rules; platform adapters supply transport or storage; PCC’s core preserves identity, evidence, authority, lineage and recovery.
- Authority is explicit. Capabilities carry typed identity and bounded grants; integrating a system never silently widens its authority.
What integrates
- Models and agents — placed under governed orchestration (see Governed AI & Agent Integration).
- Sensors and edge devices — through the constrained-device profile (Thin-CXP).
- Data and knowledge stores — bound to provenance and lineage (see Knowledge Continuity).
- Transports — MQTT, HTTP, files and the native semantic fabric.
The interoperability model
Integration is designed across eight levels, from transport to recovery — treating authority and recovery as first-class, not afterthoughts. See the interoperability model.
Where this is today
The native fabric (Native CXP, Thin-CXP) is validated bounded to the reference environment; the wider full-peer programme is under active implementation. Integration with your specific systems is exactly the work we undertake in a design partnership.
