Strategy and Standardization of Software Architectures, IT Applications, and Data Exchange Formats

Authorities and administrations at the federal, state, and local as well as the European level are increasingly reliant on data exchange in order to either allow specialist cross-processes for the first time or to optimize them with a seamless media approach.

Due to the IT landscape having grown in a heterogeneous way, data flows run into the limits of different semantic rules in areas where there are no common standards for mutual data exchange.

For ]init[ the topic standardization is core prerequisite for efficient administrative operations. ]init[ has expanded standardization to a core competency field which is constantly being developed to a broad range of services.

Thus, ]init[ takes responsibility for significant national and international projects in the area of standardization: ]init[ has already played a part in the first version of Standards and Architectures in E-Government Applications (SAGA) for German administration and today is significantly involved in the development of IT standards (SAGA 5.0).

With this expert knowledge ]init[ supports numerous authorities in implementing their e-government architectures and projects which have to comply with SAGA. ]init[ also brings its experience to the development of semantic interoperable data formats (public administration XML projects) within the context of “Deutschland-Online Standardization” and makes efficient frameworks and tools available for cross-organization of standards. In the European context ]init[ supports European authorities on behalf of the Commission with set-up, design, and development of their standards for implementing specialist pan-European processes.
