In the last few years many Public Sector organizations have embarked in the implementation of a number of "e-initiatives". These are usually customer-facing applications that allow the general public to perform a number of self-service functions, such as renewing motor vehicle registration, paying taxes, request replacement of documents or maintain their own data current. The examples are many and varied.

The creation of this type of applications has also created the need to integrate previously existing applications in order to perform functions by accessing data from multiple sources. In fact, many of these "e-applications" are nothing but an integrated front-face for many pre-existing back-office applications. Previous to offering self-service, it was possible to manage many business functions with applications that did not talk to each other. As organizations offer more self-service options to its constituents, the need for integrated applications is highlighted.

In selecting the proper technologies and implementation methods Public Sector organizations face many of the same challenges that their Private Sector counterparts do: Selecting Architecture models and technologies from a very extensive selection may be a daunting task by itself. Implementing any of those options is a separate challenge.

CLEARIS has extensive experience implementing integration functions using custom-built solutions as well as middleware.
