Seamless collaboration

As Europe becomes increasingly unified, government agencies and public-sector organizations are cooperating more closely – at both national and international level. But to collaborate smoothly, they have to integrate heterogeneous IT applications. T-Systems offers a solution that does just that.

From details of citizens’ addresses to flight-safety information, and from road-traffic and epidemiological data to official statistics: The facts and figures government agencies collect and evaluate often come from a variety of systems. Depending on the task at hand, public-sector organizations may have to access information from various regional and national authorities, and from European institutions – while ensuring compliance with stringent data-protection and -security requirements. But individual government agencies deploy very different systems and apps, sometimes with widely divergent technology. And this poses major challenges. That’s where Enterprise Application Integration (EAI) comes in: EAI leaves the actual applications unchanged, but makes their data available to other software and its users.

Made-to-measure EAI for government agencies

T-Systems offers an EAI solution tailored to the particular needs of the public sector. The Interface Manager delivers adapters and specialized modules that support key e-government standards, enabling organizations to quickly and securely call up information from external sources. What’s more, the solution allows government agencies to grant specific partners controlled access to selected information.
