PUBLIC SECTOR partner guide 2011/12<br />

Raising<br />

the bar<br />

Welcome to the <strong>Public</strong> Sector Partner Guide 2011/12.<br />

This second edition of our annual directory for the<br />

public <strong>sector</strong> brings together almost 200 companies from the<br />

Microsoft partner community in Europe, the Middle East and<br />

Africa that are all working to develop technology solutions that<br />

exceed their customers’ expectations and stand them in good<br />

stead for the future.<br />

Providing solutions for public <strong>sector</strong> organisations brings<br />

its own set of demands, such as stringent document and data<br />

management guidelines, legal compliance and information<br />

security issues. The diverse needs of government, health and<br />

education institutions also challenge technology companies to<br />

stay ahead of the game and deliver solutions that raise the bar<br />

for innovation, which is just what the organisations featured<br />

in the following pages strive to do.<br />

The US Air Force, the United Nations Environment<br />

Programme and The London Borough of Hackney are just a<br />

few of the high-profile names featured here that have benefited<br />

from Microsoft partner expertise using technologies such as<br />

Dynamics CRM and SharePoint. You can learn more about<br />

this and other examples of game-changing technologies<br />

through the examples of successful solution implementations<br />

showcased in the following pages.<br />

You will also hear from leading experts in their field about<br />

the issues that are affecting their companies, as well as find<br />

a detailed catalogue of companies that are committed to<br />

delivering industry-relevant products, solutions and services.<br />

e-government<br />

Markus Schenk<br />

Product Marketing Owner eGov, Fabasoft<br />

Efficient e-government –<br />

but how?<br />

Markus Schenk discusses the advantages of an effective e-government system<br />

With over 20 years of practical<br />

experience in the field of public<br />

<strong>sector</strong> services, we have seen lots of<br />

trends, strategies and government<br />

master plans. But the outcome<br />

has seldom met expectations.<br />

What has happened? And what do<br />

leading e-government countries and<br />

organisations do that is so different<br />

and so much better?<br />

Requirements for a public<br />

<strong>sector</strong> organisation have changed<br />

considerably during the last two<br />

centuries and even if the Internet<br />

and Web 2.0 have been classified as<br />

“not relevant” by many public <strong>sector</strong><br />

organisations, no one can stop this<br />

evolution now. It started with an<br />

almost yearly demand for public <strong>sector</strong><br />

refurbishment in terms of efficiency<br />

and public responsiveness in daily life,<br />

as well as a growing impact from cost<br />

cutting. But only a few recognised this<br />

challenge as an ongoing process.<br />

To begin with let us break down<br />

the reason why results did not match<br />

public expectations even though<br />

budgets have increased year by year.<br />

The first reason is a misinterpretation<br />

of the actual state. The current situation<br />

with popular hybrid internal processes<br />

based on paper, e-mails and office<br />

documents led most organisations –<br />

even in other industries like finance<br />

– to a lack of consistent documents or<br />

case information and non-observance<br />

of organisational and legal rules,<br />

known commonly as legal compliance.<br />

Thus the definition of comprehensive<br />

software requirements and service<br />

levels will not solve the organisational<br />

problem.<br />

Another reason is lacking flexibility.<br />

E-government projects very often<br />

stand out due to their lengthy lead<br />

times, even if requirements change<br />

constantly.<br />

A limited view of the whole issue<br />

also warrants mention. Installation of<br />

many small information technology<br />

islands is a fast way to achieve initial<br />

results but will consume all budgets<br />

if these islands have to be connected.<br />

There are many more reasons why<br />

e-government projects and solutions<br />

did not satisfy expectations, but let<br />

us take a look at leading countries<br />

– in the case of the yearly European<br />

e-government rankings – there<br />

are some significant factors worth<br />

mentioning:<br />

Best practice<br />

Some people tend to reinvent the<br />

wheel as often as possible. To be<br />

successful it is essential to use<br />

best practice not only in terms of<br />

the projects themselves but also<br />

with regard to field tested software<br />

products. E-government projects<br />

“A permanently changing<br />

environment demands<br />

agility – this has become<br />

a growing requirement for<br />

implementing successful<br />

e-government solutions”<br />

9


are projects to assemble standard<br />

products together based on open Web<br />

interfaces and establish organisational<br />

requirements. By focusing on software<br />

development, the technical focus will<br />

push the organisational requirements<br />

aside and the project will fail.<br />

Commitment<br />

E-government projects need top<br />

management responsibility, but what<br />

does this mean? According to the<br />

commonly hybrid and not compliant<br />

work, leading countries or government<br />

bodies established organisational<br />

groundwork which allowed for<br />

entirely electronic work. This includes<br />

preparing all staff for changes as well<br />

as establishing the legal requirements.<br />

There is no way of bypassing this<br />

mandatory requirement. Many of<br />

our customers recognised this fact<br />

and therefore it has been possible to<br />

use our applications throughout the<br />

organisation. As a result, hybrid work<br />

has been stopped and compliance has<br />

been achieved again.<br />

Implementation of reusable core<br />

components<br />

Reusable components provide a<br />

solid base for establishing complex<br />

e-government infrastructures. Base<br />

components include at least a<br />

standardised office tool, messaging<br />

system, authentication system,<br />

enterprise resource planning (ERP)<br />

system and a content repository<br />

(enterprise content management<br />

system). All these components<br />

must be used within the whole<br />

organisation to ensure financially<br />

feasible infrastructure even in times<br />

of permanent change. Therefore, a<br />

consolidation of comparable processes<br />

(for example financial processes and<br />

“To be successful it is essential to use best practice not only in<br />

terms of the projects themselves but also with regard to field<br />

tested software products”<br />

content-based processes) has been<br />

enforced by leading organisations to<br />

keep the number of systems running<br />

as low as possible. A high number of<br />

running applications is a typical sign<br />

of high operating costs, which results<br />

in insufficient financial flexibility.<br />

Many of our experienced customers<br />

will confirm these statements. Our<br />

customers use Fabasoft eGov-Suite<br />

as a collaboration tool, for document,<br />

records and workflow management,<br />

as an organisational archive, as online<br />

service integrated into existing portals<br />

and also as a backbone for vertical<br />

applications and other online services.<br />

This reuse gives our customers the<br />

opportunity to benefit from flexible<br />

adaptations and efficient rollout<br />

throughout the organisation.<br />

Citizen/customer orientation<br />

The world is changing all the time,<br />

the phrase ‘customer orientation’<br />

applies to government bodies as well<br />

as commercial companies. Customer<br />

orientation constitutes a demand for<br />

online services for digital natives, as<br />

well as for nearly all other citizens.<br />

Compared to the successful Web 2.0<br />

enterprises, governments have the<br />

same customers and so they have the<br />

same demands: transactional online<br />

services, a low technical entry barrier,<br />

24/7 availability, premium and efficient<br />

service quality and are easy to use.<br />

Our customers will confirm this<br />

through practical experience. Easy to<br />

use transactional online services will<br />

be accepted by customers/citizens even<br />

without exhausting marketing measures.<br />

Incidentally, that is a great opportunity<br />

to speed up your internal processes.<br />

Some of our customers created a whole<br />

new presence by providing transactional<br />

online services and reduced internal<br />

efforts and expenses.<br />

A p e r m a n e n t l y c h a n g i n g<br />

environment demands agility – this<br />

has become a growing requirement<br />

for implementing successful<br />

e-government solutions. This means<br />

that the result has to match the<br />

customer/citizen needs at the end<br />

of the project. Adoption is required<br />

during the implementation, which<br />

has to be enabled from the project<br />

organisation, as well as the products<br />

used. Our professional services<br />

experts are specially trained for agile<br />

methods to enable our customers to<br />

focus on required changes and profit<br />

from these opportunities.<br />

Currently our public <strong>sector</strong><br />

customers have licensed Fabasoft<br />

eGov-Suites for more than 150,000<br />

users as an internal backbone for<br />

document-oriented processes and also<br />

for use as transactional online service<br />

is growing constantly. Thus we are<br />

proud to be a part of numerous best<br />

practice implementations in Europe<br />

,which allow for dealing with actual<br />

challenges such as cloud computing<br />

and open government.<br />

Document management<br />

Greg Milliken<br />

President, Motive Systems<br />

Leading a<br />

horse to water<br />

Minimising change is the key to document management success, says Greg Milliken<br />

What is meant by minimising change<br />

in relation to the implementation of a<br />

document management system? Isn’t<br />

adopting document management<br />

all about changing the way people<br />

work to improve processes for<br />

organising and managing company<br />

documents with the goal of<br />

reducing time wasted looking for<br />

documents, improving information<br />

reuse, ensuring compliance with<br />

regulations and standards, and<br />

minimising or eliminating conflicts<br />

and loss of data? Yes, it is, but<br />

to gain those benefits consistent<br />

usage and adoption across the<br />

company or organisation is of<br />

critical importance. When I think<br />

of the challenges faced in deploying<br />

technology solutions such as<br />

document management, it brings to<br />

mind an old saying: “you can lead a<br />

horse to water but you can’t make<br />

him drink.”<br />

It may sound obvious to say that<br />

one way to ensure rapid and broad<br />

adoption of a new system is to make<br />

it easy to use, but it’s not the full<br />

story. Clearly, the reason companies<br />

adopt technologies like document<br />

management is to derive benefits for<br />

the company at an organisational or<br />

corporate level, and the pursuit of this<br />

goal can create a top-down mentality,<br />

where users are required to learn<br />

the new system and conform to new<br />

processes. Frequently, the required<br />

changes to processes and behaviours<br />

associated with a new technology<br />

solution are significant, and achieving<br />

broad adoption and consistent use<br />

becomes an enforcement effort. Often<br />

users will look for ways to bypass the<br />

system to avoid the real or perceived<br />

additional effort. In the case of a new<br />

document management system where<br />

documents are stored in a centralised<br />

vault, it is not uncommon for users to<br />

sidestep the new processes and try to<br />

keep working the way they did in the<br />

past, only uploading documents to the<br />

vault when they are finished or when it<br />

is convenient. If they can get away with<br />

it, often they’ll just bypass the new<br />

system entirely, and management will<br />

never know until a problem or issue<br />

is encountered later on. So imagine<br />

the impact of a majority, or even a<br />

significant minority, of employees<br />

working around the system like this; it<br />

undermines the process, lengthening<br />

the time it takes for the company to<br />

achieve a return on investment in the<br />

new system, or worse, it leads to a<br />

failed implementation.<br />

But what if the new system’s<br />

benefits were so immediately<br />

apparent that it made the users’ dayto-day<br />

work easier? In addition, a<br />

key to this sort of widespread, rapid<br />

“The reason companies<br />

adopt technologies like<br />

document management<br />

is to derive benefits<br />

for the company at an<br />

organisational or<br />

corporate level.”<br />

13


adoption is to look for solutions that<br />

minimise changes to users’ current<br />

behaviour. In the case of document<br />

management, what if users could<br />

continue to work as they always<br />

have? And what if they immediately<br />

and personally began accruing the<br />

benefits of faster and better search,<br />

along with assured access to the most<br />

up-to-date document by eliminating<br />

duplicates, in addition to seamless<br />

access to past versions, and so on?<br />

Rather than the top-down push,<br />

by simplifying users’ day-to-day<br />

work from the bottom up, the pull<br />

effect is created, rapidly achieving<br />

widespread, consistent adoption and<br />

maximising the return on investment<br />

on the new system.<br />

Greg Milliken is president of Motive<br />

Systems<br />

“A key to widespread, rapid<br />

adoption is to look for<br />

solutions that minimise<br />

changes to users’ current<br />

Electronic payments<br />

Koby Levy<br />

VP International Operations, Netwise Applications<br />

Creating an electronic<br />

payment foundation<br />

Koby Levy explains why public <strong>sector</strong> organisations need a central government e-payments solution<br />

In a world motivated by the<br />

information revolution, where the<br />

World Wide Web and mobile phones<br />

have been turned into a platform for<br />

electronic commerce, government<br />

and public organisations are<br />

required to enable citizens to make<br />

their payments online or by mobile<br />

phones, safely, quickly and easily.<br />

The challenge<br />

The requirements of a government<br />

e-payments system, designed to<br />

facilitate the online payment of various<br />

government taxes and fees, are quite<br />

different than those of traditional<br />

e-payments systems.<br />

Government e-payments systems<br />

should:<br />

• Easily integrate with various<br />

back-end systems (different local<br />

governments, departments and<br />

public organisations) in order to<br />

obtain payment details and report<br />

back the payments made<br />

• Serve various end users (citizens,<br />

corporations, businesses or<br />

business representatives)<br />

• Support all payment types<br />

(voucher payments, service fees,<br />

product catalogue or referrals –<br />

i.e. business registration renewal<br />

fees, council taxes, building<br />

tax payments and land registry<br />

information)<br />

• Enable different payment methods<br />

(debit/credit card, direct online<br />

bank transfer and PayPal)<br />

• Provide a holistic view of all<br />

government payments.<br />

Enterprise or other banking<br />

e-payments solutions are ill suited to<br />

government needs. These solutions<br />

are concerned mainly with the<br />

management of product catalogues<br />

and inventories that are of little<br />

interest to governments. They do<br />

not support ad-hoc generation of<br />

personalised payment items or<br />

provide tight integration with a large<br />

variety of back-end systems, which are<br />

some of the unique requirements of a<br />

government e-payments foundation<br />

solution. In order to overcome this<br />

challenge, a central solution capable<br />

of matching these requirements needs<br />

to be implemented.<br />

Introducing GPay<br />

Netwise has been developing its<br />

government specific e-payments<br />

platform product for many years. It<br />

has been put to the test in real life and<br />

ever since has been carefully enhanced<br />

and upgraded to what it is today. The<br />

GPay product is a complete solution<br />

for government e-payments.<br />

Gpay generates personalised<br />

payment items through different<br />

“The requirements of a<br />

government e-payments<br />

system, designed to facilitate<br />

the online payment of<br />

various government taxes<br />

and fees, are quite different<br />

than those of traditional<br />

e-payments systems”<br />

17


procurement processes, as well as<br />

referral payments.<br />

scenarios, either as a full payment<br />

process or payment referral, enabling<br />

transactions received from a variety of<br />

sources. It supports the consolidation<br />

of various payments using the same<br />

infrastructure, and allows for any type<br />

of charge including the sale of shopping<br />

basket ‘tangible’ items such as books<br />

and publications. It provides full<br />

management and monitoring facilities.<br />

A success story is the national<br />

e-payment service for the government<br />

of Israel where nearly 2,000 types<br />

of payment vouchers from over 200<br />

government ‘store fronts’ are processed<br />

yearly, generating more than 2.5 million<br />

transactions and US$2 billion of income.<br />

Gpay – Netwise’s e-gov e-payments<br />

complete solution<br />

Gpay is a complete solution, designed<br />

specifically with and for governments,<br />

both national and local. It is designed<br />

to introduce the key e-services for<br />

improving the connection with citizens<br />

by supporting all type of payments<br />

electronically by any channel, all day<br />

and every day, using any acceptable<br />

payment method. It provides<br />

central control over all electronic<br />

funds transactions throughout the<br />

government, while unifying the user<br />

interface, system behaviour and<br />

governmental overall branding, along<br />

with personalisation of properties for<br />

each service or organisation. Gpay<br />

offers short time to market – within<br />

a few weeks the first e-service can<br />

be established. Over and above the<br />

rest, Gpay is proven to significantly<br />

reduce costs and increase government<br />

payment visibility by cutting down<br />

manual work by payers and receivers<br />

and by creating instant visibility of who<br />

paid for what and when.<br />

Gpay’s advantages<br />

• Easily integrates with various<br />

government back-end systems such as<br />

enterprise resource planning or billing<br />

• Designed for both private citizens<br />

and organisations/corporations<br />

• Supports all payment types<br />

• Enables all e-payments methods<br />

• Provides a holistic payments<br />

solution<br />

• Offers a range of payment channels<br />

• Supports full sales and<br />

Gpay is built on top of Microsoft<br />

Commerce Server, a reliable, flexible<br />

and extendible e-commerce platform.<br />

It utilises standard features available<br />

on Commerce Server such as the<br />

shopping cart, and checkout and some<br />

of the administrative modules.<br />

As a pre-packaged solution, Gpay<br />

can be easily deployed out of the<br />

box, with the necessary minimal<br />

customisation being carried out using<br />

the Gpay payment service deployment<br />

wizard. If required, it can also be<br />

extended or be used as an SDK on top<br />

of which a customised government<br />

commerce solution, serving some<br />

specific, advanced need, may be built.<br />

One Gpay installation can easily<br />

support a multitude of different<br />

payment services, involving different<br />

payment processes, interacting with<br />

different government back-end systems,<br />

using different protocols, and crediting<br />

different beneficiaries and bank accounts.<br />

This enables government departments<br />

to consolidate their various e-payment<br />

operations, saving on infrastructure,<br />

development and maintenance costs.<br />

The Israeli Ministry of Finance<br />

The ministry has been using the GPay<br />

payment server since 2001 as part of<br />

Business intelligence<br />

for the public <strong>sector</strong><br />

Paul Barber looks at the challenges of extracting the right data to integrate with a true BI solution<br />

A true business intelligence (BI)<br />

solution simplifies information<br />

discovery and analysis, making<br />

it possible for decision makers<br />

at all levels of an organisation<br />

to easily access, understand,<br />

analyse, collaborate and act<br />

on information, anytime and<br />

anywhere. Unfortunately, typical<br />

BI solutions tend to support only<br />

traditional data sources that were<br />

designed to enhance business<br />

applications. Therefore, BI in<br />

the public <strong>sector</strong> only becomes a<br />

worthwhile investment when data<br />

trapped in several application silos<br />

is integrated.<br />

Solutions such as PROPHIX have<br />

the ability to integrate data from<br />

multiple sources into a single unified<br />

view of the business, making the<br />

most of the plethora of information.<br />

PROPHIX Software is the leading<br />

developer of solutions designed<br />

to automate financial processes<br />

including budgeting, planning,<br />

reporting, analysis, and performance<br />

management and helps solve the<br />

common challenge of the quality of BI<br />

information by improving the source<br />

data with its underlying technology.<br />

Data integrity involves a whole<br />

segment of the software industry<br />

devoted to improving the integration<br />

of data from existing systems. Extract,<br />

transform, load (ETL) tools are used<br />

exactly as it implies – extract data,<br />

transform it to make it more accurate<br />

or consistent, and load it into a<br />

database for eventual display – and<br />

are sold mainly to larger companies<br />

that have many legacy systems. Midsized<br />

companies that use enterprise<br />

resource planning (ERP) systems often<br />

have less of a need for ETL tools since<br />

the ERP takes care of storing data in a<br />

consistent format. However, even if a<br />

company has an ERP, it may be better<br />

to avoid allowing a BI system direct<br />

access to production data. Directly<br />

accessing real-time production data<br />

can cause performance issues with<br />

those production systems.<br />

A key component to the success<br />

of a BI application is an efficient and<br />

reliable data retrieval process; hence,<br />

PROPHIX Software embraces the<br />

superior functionality of Microsoft’s<br />

Online Analytical Processing<br />

(OLAP) database for BI applications<br />

– Microsoft SQL Server Analysis<br />

Services (SSAS), the standard<br />

OLAP database in the industry.<br />

The functional advantages of OLAP<br />

include the speed of data retrieval,<br />

flexible reporting capabilities, and<br />

sophisticated calculations that can be<br />

defined in the OLAP database.<br />

Previously called multidimensional<br />

databases, OLAP databases have been<br />

”A key component to the<br />

success of a BI application is<br />

an efficient and reliable data<br />

retrieval process”<br />

21


used in the enterprise software market<br />

for decades and have been established as<br />

a powerful technology for many business<br />

applications. Because of the success<br />

of Analysis Services, there are many BI<br />

tools targeted at the mid-market that<br />

use SSAS as a data source and these are<br />

becoming a commodity. Because of this,<br />

PROPHIX was designed to interoperate<br />

with as many such BI tools as possible.<br />

PROPHIX is an excellent vehicle for<br />

creating Analysis Services OLAP cubes<br />

and importing data into those cubes so<br />

that BI tools can be used to view the data<br />

contained in them.<br />

PROPHIX has been proven to<br />

grow with companies as the industry<br />

changes, and, to date, hundreds<br />

of customers in of all types of the<br />

public <strong>sector</strong> – government, health,<br />

and education – are using PROPHIX<br />

to create financial models that<br />

contain data that can be used by BI<br />

applications. It includes many of<br />

the key features for data extraction<br />

and integration, but with a user<br />

interface that is easy-to-use for non-IT<br />

professionals. PROPHIX can calculate<br />

metrics (e.g. revenue/headcount), can<br />

be used as a mechanism for collecting<br />

data that is not available electronically,<br />

and can create OLAP models quickly<br />

and easily. It is not an ETL product<br />

or a data warehouse tool, but one of<br />

PROPHIX’s major strengths is that it<br />

can be used by a finance professional<br />

to implement business-focused BI<br />

applications with minimal need of IT<br />

expertise or involvement – skills that<br />

are often in short supply in smaller<br />

companies. PROPHIX Software has<br />

had experience with OLAP technology<br />

since the 1980s and has been<br />

involved in performance management<br />

software with the capabilities for the<br />

development of a BI solution such as<br />

“A true BI solution simplifies information discovery and analysis,<br />

making it possible for decision makers at all levels of an<br />

organisation to easily access, understand, analyse, collaborate,<br />

and act on information, anytime and anywhere”<br />

• Enabling non-IT professionals<br />

to create and maintain Microsoft<br />

SSAS models, including importing<br />

structures and data<br />

• Offering the Ad Hoc Analysis tool<br />

that can be used for unstructured<br />

BI access to numerical data and<br />

includes analytical capabilities such<br />

as delta analysis<br />

• Enabling non-IT professionals to<br />

calculate and maintain metrics in<br />

a PROPHIX model for use in BI<br />

applications<br />

• Including workflow capabilities<br />

for managing the collection of<br />

manually entered data for BI<br />

systems, including e-mail collection<br />

using spreadsheets.<br />

PROPHIX perfectly combines<br />

Microsoft SQL Server technology with<br />

the business knowledge to offer the<br />

most effective BI resource and allow<br />

public <strong>sector</strong> companies the ability<br />

to make critical decisions based on<br />

inclusive information rather than<br />

incomplete data. With PROPHIX, you<br />

can integrate operational and business<br />

information for a better insight into<br />

performance to improve all levels and<br />

disciplines of the organisation – from<br />

optimising budget execution through<br />

to improving policy and strategy.<br />

General Manager Integrator Division, SingularLogic<br />

Standing out<br />

from the crowd<br />

Marica Labrou discusses the company’s areas of expertise in the public <strong>sector</strong><br />

SingularLogic is a leading software<br />

and integrated IT solutions group in<br />

Greece. It provides solutions for the<br />

private and public <strong>sector</strong>s both in<br />

Greece and in south eastern Europe.<br />

With a leading position in the<br />

provision of integrated IT systems<br />

since 1994, the relevant division of<br />

the group, Integrator Division, is<br />

involved in the design, development<br />

and implementation of solutions<br />

that contribute to the restructuring<br />

and modernisation of public services<br />

in Greece. This is with the aim of<br />

better serving citizens, modernising<br />

public services structure and giving<br />

the various public organisations the<br />

opportunity to better control their<br />

processes, income and expenses.<br />

We have implemented a significant<br />

number of important projects that<br />

have distinguished SingularLogic as<br />

a reliable transformation and delivery<br />

partner for the public <strong>sector</strong> in Greece.<br />

The division’s activity is based on the<br />

philosophy of cooperation with public<br />

services and private bodies, in order to<br />

offer alternative and automated services<br />

that maximise citizens’ satisfaction and<br />

minimise the overall cost of transactions.<br />

The successful completion of public<br />

<strong>sector</strong> projects depends on excellent<br />

project management and administration<br />

on behalf of SingularLogic, careful<br />

selection of partners, extensive<br />

know-how, optimum utilisation of<br />

specialised third-party solutions<br />

and services, and finally overall<br />

contribution realised in each project by<br />

the respective organisation/customer.<br />

All solutions make extensive use of<br />

existent state-of-the-art technologies,<br />

which are customised to meet each<br />

organisation’s needs so as to render the<br />

final implemented model efficient and<br />

sustainable.<br />

Integrator Division operates in the<br />

fields of public administration, public<br />

finance, justice, regional administration<br />

and local government, health, social<br />

security and defence. Furthermore,<br />

we undertake projects in the form of<br />

business process outsourcing services<br />

to public <strong>sector</strong> organisations (the most<br />

prominent example being the collection<br />

and broadcasting of the elections results<br />

for the last 30 years), as well as projects<br />

financed by the European Union.<br />

Proposals for the reform of the Greek<br />

public <strong>sector</strong> through information<br />

and communication technologies<br />

SingularLogic, based on its expertise,<br />

financial robustness, and extended<br />

successful experience in implementing<br />

large and complex projects in both the<br />

public and private <strong>sector</strong>, has prepared<br />

a framework of more than 20 proposals<br />

for the utilisation of information<br />

technologies aimed at eliminating<br />

government budget spending,<br />

increasing government revenue,<br />

establishing transparency, and further<br />

enhancing services provided for citizens<br />

in order to address current and chronic<br />

issues of the Greek <strong>Public</strong> Sector.<br />

These proposals include:<br />

modernisation in the public health<br />

<strong>sector</strong> through the utilisation<br />

of model hospital management<br />

systems; integrated cross-checking<br />

and performance control system<br />

of employers’ contributions;<br />

homogenisation of public <strong>sector</strong><br />

payroll; electronic public procurement;<br />

e-prescription system; consolidation of<br />

social security funds; one-stop-shop for<br />

licensing new enterprises; an integrated<br />

system for electronic publication,<br />

validation and analysis of tax data; and<br />

public real estate registry exploitation.<br />

Some of these proposals address<br />

the sensitive area of public health.<br />

SingularLogic has a long-standing<br />

successful track record in delivering<br />

sophisticated IT solutions in the health<br />

area, both in the public and private<br />

<strong>sector</strong>. The innovative Model Hospital<br />

Management System (MHMS) that is<br />

already operating successfully in the<br />

private <strong>sector</strong> (YGEIA GROUP) in 13<br />

hospitals, allows rational and effective<br />

management, both for the benefit of<br />

patients as well as for the maximum cost<br />

retention, without the need for hospitals<br />

to make significant investments. The<br />

MHMS covers the full hospital clinical,<br />

laboratory and financial management<br />

processes and it can contribute<br />

radically to improving productivity and<br />

efficiency in public hospitals. MHMS<br />

can also ensure full transparency<br />

and control by the state, through the<br />

optimal management of resources, the<br />

maximisation of operational security,<br />

and the efficient management of the<br />

hospital’s computerisation.<br />

The above solution is accessed by<br />

an advanced management information<br />

system (MIS), which offers sophisticated<br />

business intelligence capabilities that<br />

provide public health officials with<br />

informative decision making capabilities.<br />

MIS offers descriptive dashboards and<br />

statistical reports that present various<br />

key performance indicators and offer<br />

the hospitals’ management the ability to<br />

perform various analyses on data, such<br />

as execute ‘what-if’ scenarios, recognise<br />

patterns and monitor repetitive<br />

spending behaviours.<br />

SingularLogic has been a Microsoft<br />

partner for many years now. This<br />

partnership is based on an enterprise<br />

service agreement between Microsoft<br />

and SingularLogic, and SingularLogic<br />

is a Microsoft Large Account Reseller<br />

specifically for the public <strong>sector</strong>. We<br />

have invested heavily in Microsoft<br />

technology and we have a strong team<br />

of Microsoft certified professionals<br />

and specialists that can undertake<br />

any complex project relying on<br />

state-of-the-art Microsoft technology.<br />

This expertise has been built on the<br />

Microsoft .NET Framework and SQL<br />

Server database, while recently we<br />

have actively familiarised ourselves<br />

with business intelligence and<br />

SharePoint technologies as well.<br />

Last but not least, in December,<br />

2010, Microsoft and SingularLogic<br />

jointly announced their strategic<br />

partnership in order to promote cloud<br />

computing solutions in the Greek<br />

market. This partnership includes<br />

cooperation in three cloud computing<br />

areas, namely infrastructure-as-a-service,<br />

platform-as-a-service and software-asa-service.<br />

Moreover, SingularLogic will<br />

offer Microsoft Office 365 services via<br />

its broad network of partners that covers<br />

the entire Greek market.<br />

Bridgwater College<br />

Efficiency and<br />

continuity<br />

Bridgwater College passes<br />

desktop efficiency and continuity<br />

test using 2X and Microsoft.<br />

Bridgwater College, Somerset, UK<br />

provides outstanding education and<br />

training for 16,000 students, with<br />

over 1,000 staff, across locations in<br />

the south west of England.<br />

Providing excellent service and<br />

computing cost effectively shapes<br />

Bridgwater’s IT strategy, which<br />

is critical to effective learning<br />

and involves maintaining many<br />

concurrently and constantly used<br />

desktops.<br />

Bridgwater’s server-based<br />

computing and thin client<br />

desktop IT strategy achieves cost<br />

effectiveness and control. Load<br />

balancing of desktops to server<br />

resources is essential.<br />

“We run to strict timetables so<br />

frequently have many users logging<br />

on to desktops at the same time,”<br />

says Dave Foster, head of IT services<br />

at Bridgwater College. “Effective<br />

load balancing maintains a costeffective<br />

server-based computing<br />

infrastructure that can deal with this.”<br />

Bridgwater’s server upgrades have<br />

increased the number of users that<br />

can be provisioned from each server,<br />

extending the criticality of its load<br />

balancing. “We have 1,000 users<br />

logged onto the system at any time<br />

and have reduced our server numbers<br />

by approximately two thirds. This<br />

gives us the advantage of consolidating<br />

budgets but we need best in class, cost<br />

effective load balancing.”<br />

Unconvinced of the ROI from load<br />

balancing products within leading<br />

virtualisation suites, Bridgwater<br />

sought alternatives. “The cost of some<br />

solutions meant it would be cheaper to<br />

upgrade our server infrastructure and<br />

incorporate a ‘cushion’ of capacity,”<br />

says Foster. “By surveying the market<br />

we realised there were far simpler and<br />

more cost effective ways of doing this.”<br />

B r i d g w a t e r c h o s e 2 X<br />

LoadBalancer working with<br />

Microsoft’s load balancing<br />

tools. Terminal servers connect<br />

via IP addresses to Microsoft’s<br />

loadbalancer, which selects servers<br />

from numerous gateways. 2X<br />

LoadBalancer calculates loads across<br />

each gateway to ensure correct<br />

selection and routing in order to<br />

avoid bottlenecks.<br />

Foster explains: “In ten minutes<br />

we could have 500 users logging on<br />

and requiring instant access as part<br />

of timed lessons. Effective delivery<br />

of learning now requires 99.9 per<br />

cent success in providing access.<br />

2X LoadBalancer proves critical in<br />

ensuring that terminals are correctly<br />

mapped to server resources.”<br />

With 2X LoadBalancer Bridgwater<br />

College has maintained a highly<br />

cost-effective and reliable desktop<br />

infrastructure accommodating its<br />

large concurrent user base. With ICT<br />

availability essential to its outstanding<br />

performance, load balancing has<br />

become one of the most important<br />

aspects of IT delivery.<br />

2X’s per server licensing model<br />

compared to per user models of most<br />

load balancing solutions provides<br />

scalability at lower cost. This has<br />

enabled ROI against the cost of<br />

increasing its server infrastructure,<br />

not possible with competitors.<br />

Ease of use and rapid deployment<br />

makes 2X very simple to install and<br />

operate. Bridgwater started realising<br />

benefits immediately without<br />

significant management overhead.<br />

Foster concludes: “With 2X in<br />

place and able to optimise load<br />

balancing across our server resources<br />

we have saved significantly. 2X<br />

will remain at the core of our ICT<br />

delivery well into the future.”<br />

The Multi Channel Citizen Service Solution<br />

Information exchange<br />

The actual provision of information<br />

in government organisations<br />

is mainly organisation-unit<br />

oriented. This is especially true in<br />

municipalities, where the largest<br />

number of processes are found.<br />

Many cities/municipalities have<br />

tried to implement generic workflow<br />

solutions, which replace processspecific<br />

solutions. They found this<br />

to be too complex and require an<br />

enormous effort to implement.<br />

Running these projects for one or<br />

several years resulted in implementing<br />

only a few processes.<br />

A solution that really contributes to<br />

better information exchange between<br />

external and internal customers<br />

is Ackinas’ Multi Channel Citizen<br />

Service solution, which is generic<br />

and process independent. Each<br />

case starts in the case management<br />

system, independent of the channel<br />

that initiated it. The practitioner<br />

keeps track of the status and reports<br />

the (intermediate) result of the case.<br />

Communication to the customer<br />

and other related organisations can<br />

be carried out via any appropriate<br />

channel, where related incoming and<br />

outgoing dossier-related documents<br />

are attached to the case and stored in<br />

a document management system. The<br />

use of a case type catalogue, containing<br />

all the rules of registration, customer<br />

communication and archiving makes<br />

it possible to implement hundreds of<br />

processes in a relatively short period.<br />

The Multi Channel Citizen Service<br />

solution contains integrated functions<br />

for mail registration (including<br />

scanning), case management, dossier/<br />

document management and archiving.<br />

The customer contact centre has all<br />

the information on actual cases and<br />

dossiers, including the customer’s<br />

contacts and the full history of the<br />

case. Including the interactions with<br />

the back-office solutions makes it a<br />

generic mid-office management layer,<br />

which supports all the ambitions of a<br />

multi-channel citizen service platform.<br />

This leads to an improvement<br />

of the business and motivation of<br />

customers; more effective/efficient<br />

execution (one source of information<br />

for all departments); integration of<br />

different channels (intake via mail,<br />

desk, telephone and Web site in<br />

one solution); and chain integration<br />

(exchange of information on processes<br />

with other government organisations).<br />

The software is fully based on<br />

the open global World Wide Web<br />

Consortium standards (XML, SOAP,<br />

(X)HTML). These open standards<br />

enable communication with<br />

existing (back office) applications<br />

like Microsoft Dynamics CRM and<br />

registration systems. The tools<br />

have been developed using proven<br />

technology like Microsoft .NET and<br />

Windows Workflow Foundation, and<br />

SharePoint has been fully integrated as<br />

a document and dossier management<br />

solution. This solution is 100 per cent<br />

configurable. The user interface for<br />

both the citizen case management<br />

solution and the Web intake forms<br />

can be easily amended with a ‘what<br />

you see is what you get’ editor.<br />

The workflows can be modelled<br />

and maintained with a workflow<br />

editor without professional support.<br />

Management information is provided<br />

through Microsoft SQL Server<br />

Reporting Services.<br />

The solution has been implemented<br />

(or is in implementation) in a<br />

number of cities like The Hague,<br />

Antwerp, Gent in the Netherlands,<br />

and is applicable to all sizes of local<br />

government organisations, both<br />

budget and functional wise.<br />

OSCI messaging<br />

High security<br />

communication<br />

bremen online services is a<br />

German leading provider of IT<br />

solutions for secure and legally<br />

binding electronic messages.<br />

Founded in 1999, the company<br />

is now at the forefront of high<br />

security communication, utilising<br />

a knowledge in electronic<br />

signatures and cryptography<br />

in e-government, e-justice and<br />

e-business.<br />

Working prevalently with the<br />

German government on documents<br />

containing all manner of sensitive<br />

material, bremen online services<br />

has helped create an online service<br />

computer interface (OSCI). The<br />

basic premise of the solution is<br />

that information can be signed<br />

for (according to German digital<br />

signature law) and protected<br />

against spying by means of<br />

encryption while there are also<br />

measures in place to protect against<br />

the traceability of communications.<br />

The benefits of such a solution<br />

cannot be overstated; security of<br />

governmental material has never<br />

been more of a pressing issue<br />

than in the current global climate.<br />

Therefore a solution such as this,<br />

with security and functionality at<br />

the forefront of its make-up, is of<br />

paramount importance to those<br />

handling sensitive material.<br />

The standard for secure messages<br />

in the German e-government and<br />

e-justice system usually requires a<br />

separate client application to send<br />

and receive, with the new OSCI<br />

messaging, these documents can<br />

be sent from Microsoft Outlook.<br />

The difference from the previous<br />

system is the new add on for<br />

Microsoft Office, Governikus, a<br />

secure middleware .NET-based<br />

program that, once installed, creates<br />

an additional mailbox for OSCI<br />

messages in Outlook – messages<br />

can also be sent directly from<br />

Word, Excel and PowerPoint. The<br />

central administration application<br />

is Outlook.<br />

With this added functionality<br />

bremen online services is making<br />

it easier to securely pass electronic<br />

information. The only condition that<br />

is required to exercise data transfer<br />

over OCSI is the possession of an<br />

encryption certificate, while end-toend<br />

encryption is offered for those<br />

sending/receiving information. Put<br />

simply: only the recipient will be<br />

able to view the material.<br />

Typically, the solution will<br />

benefit governmental operations,<br />

and is used by all levels of<br />

administration across Germany<br />

and Europe – from local councils to<br />

national government dealing with<br />

documents relating to international<br />

diplomacy.<br />

provides homecare, personal<br />

alarms and non-emergency hospital<br />

transport in Belgium. When Mutas<br />

became an independent Belgian<br />

entity, it had to find business<br />

software for its support services.<br />

But as the internal operation<br />

already worked perfectly, the local<br />

team wanted to continue using this<br />

reliable method. Mutas entrusted<br />

the assignment to Agile Software<br />

Factory at Cegeka.<br />

Cegeka made full use of Microsoft<br />

.NET for the development and chose<br />

Microsoft Team Foundation Server<br />

for the development environment.<br />

The agile project management<br />

and development practices have<br />

already been neatly integrated in this<br />

application lifecycle management<br />

environment. “Thanks to the use<br />

of this development environment,<br />

the new application is a pleasure to<br />

work with, and it looks good too,”<br />

says project and data developer<br />

Koenraad Tholen. “As requested, the<br />

care providers have access to the same<br />

information as before, but the system<br />

is more intuitive.”<br />

Cegeka’s agile software<br />

development was decisive. “This<br />

was an important point in its favour<br />

because we wanted to be able to<br />

monitor the design from close by. If<br />

you meet with the developers every<br />

fortnight, you can revise it in good time.<br />

Cegeka organises its whole schedule<br />

around these fortnightly iterations, so<br />

there is great transparency right from<br />

the start. Other candidates’ scheduling<br />

was less clear.” Thanks to this wellorganised<br />

schedule, Mutas was able<br />

to tackle traditional children’s diseases<br />

and integrate all business applications<br />

before the migration. Thanks to the<br />

new Windows technology, Mutas can<br />

now provide much more information<br />

to the care providers on a single<br />

screen. “This provides a much better<br />

overview. In the past the application<br />

was more segmented into smaller<br />

windows. The user-friendliness has<br />

improved greatly so the leaning curve<br />

for new employees is less intense. The<br />

feedback has been very positive and<br />

the systems work nice and fast.”<br />

When a patient calls the centre<br />

for assistance, the care provider first<br />

creates a dossier. There is then a<br />

sequence of screens in which personal<br />

details, travel information and the<br />

medical ailments of the policyholder,<br />

among other things, must be entered.<br />

The system automatically generates<br />

follow-up tasks for all interventions.<br />

The night care provider places the<br />

next day’s timetable in the application,<br />

which then distributes the various<br />

dossiers’ tasks equally among<br />

the employees according to their<br />

specific skills: doctors, repatriation<br />

team, dossier managers and cost<br />

regulators. “This is done using an<br />

algorithm,” explains Tholen. “Cegeka<br />

has integrated the algorithm quickly<br />

and correctly in .NET. We thought<br />

this might be a problem, but it works<br />

perfectly. This is crucial because<br />

it forms the basis for our internal<br />

operation.”<br />

The distribution of work, currently<br />

particularly useful as a scheduling<br />

tool for the dossier managers, will be<br />

expanded in the future. “The doctors<br />

and cost regulators were among<br />

those to work with separate subsystems<br />

for their scheduling. Both<br />

of these front-end applications have<br />

not yet been integrated, although<br />

they do make use of the same SQL<br />

Server database system. We therefore<br />

want to make sure that they can also<br />

schedule their work using the new<br />

software,” says Tholen.<br />

Vaasa Central Hospital<br />

Order of operations<br />

Vaasa Central Hospital in Finland<br />

and its surrounding districts<br />

currently serve a population of<br />

167,000 inhabitants. The hospital<br />

is divided into performance areas,<br />

offering patient care, medical,<br />

psychiatric and operational<br />

performance services, in a total<br />

of 16 specialities. Vaasa defines<br />

the foundations of its health<br />

district operations as ‘specialised<br />

knowledge’ and ‘cooperation’.<br />

In 2009 Vaasa Central Hospital<br />

started a procurement process for<br />

a new enterprise resource planning<br />

system for surgical operations. The<br />

new, operation room information<br />

system (OIS) from Commit replaces<br />

a well-served, roughly 20 years old,<br />

outdated system that runs on a VAX/<br />

VMS platform that is soon to be<br />

supplanted. Growth in volumes and<br />

requirements for modern leadership<br />

in medical operations led the<br />

hospital to acquire a new system. It is<br />

expected that, in the future, resource<br />

planning will play a major part in<br />

operations. The hospital wanted its<br />

new system to be flexible according<br />

to its operations and activities.<br />

The OIS system is linked to<br />

the hospital information system<br />

(HIS) and the electronic patient<br />

record (EPR) systems. Medical<br />

appointments are registered in the<br />

HIS and transferred from there to<br />

the OIS. Information about medical<br />

operations is transferred to HIS. The<br />

EPR can be opened with desktop<br />

integration. In other words, there is<br />

a direct connection from OIS to EPR.<br />

With the new system, patients<br />

can be monitored in real time at<br />

different ward units and clinics,<br />

and the whole operation process<br />

becomes more visual. The hospital<br />

also expects the new system to<br />

improve communication between<br />

different ward units and clinics.<br />

For example, a preoperative clinic<br />

could use its own view to monitor<br />

their patients’ progression during<br />

the day. Correspondingly, the<br />

operation unit could see a realtime<br />

situation of all their operating<br />

rooms. The hospital hopes that this<br />

will help create more efficient and<br />

realistic operation schedules and<br />

also predict forthcoming situations<br />

in the operation unit.<br />

The estimated duration for each<br />

operation can be seen in the OIS<br />

and this helps with the planning<br />

of operation schedules. In the end,<br />

this will mean that the operation<br />

teams will also benefit from wellmade<br />

plans. Direct links from HIS<br />

to OIS will accelerate the process of<br />

finding patient records so that will<br />

be in real time – there will no longer<br />

be a need to interpret handwritten<br />

text. Intra-operative patient records<br />

will be registered in OIS and from<br />

there they will automatically be<br />

transferred to the EPR. Electronic<br />

registering of data leads users to<br />

register all necessary data and serves<br />

both the patient and medical staff.<br />

“We expect that the system will<br />

help us monitor operation teams<br />

in real time and plan the use of<br />

operation rooms. OIS will also assist<br />

in resource management,” says<br />

US Air Force Medical Service<br />

Effective enterprise<br />

content management<br />

The US Air Force Medical Service<br />

(AFMS) has a budget of US$6.9<br />

billion and runs 75 hospitals and<br />

clinics, providing care to over 2.6<br />

million beneficiaries. It employs<br />

more than 40,000 full-time officers,<br />

civilians, and enlisted personnel<br />

plus an additional 20,000 members<br />

of the Air Force Reserves and Air<br />

National Guard. The challenge<br />

was to increase information<br />

transparency and transform<br />

raw information into actionable<br />

knowledge. The organisation<br />

needed access to mission critical<br />

information to improve decision<br />

making and provide stakeholders<br />

throughout the organisation with<br />

relevant and timely information.<br />

The AFMS initially deployed<br />

SharePoint and conceptClassifier<br />

for SharePoint over six years ago<br />

due to the ability to automatically<br />

generate conceptual metadata, autoclassify<br />

the content, and utilise the<br />

powerful taxonomy capabilities<br />

to power its knowledge portal to<br />

improve search outcomes. It has<br />

subsequently extended the use of the<br />

technologies to address migration,<br />

records management, Freedom of<br />

Information Act, eDiscovery and<br />

data privacy protection.<br />

Customer, staff, organisational<br />

needs, internal perceptions,<br />

motivations, strategies, relevant<br />

knowledge and awareness of human<br />

and financial capital resources<br />

combine to serve as the foundation<br />

from which raw information is<br />

transformed into something that<br />

is actionable within a business<br />

operation. The AFMS realised<br />

significant benefits:<br />

(1) For leadership, the company<br />

is able to rapidly organise its<br />

organisation’s explicit and implicit<br />

content to facilitate more effective<br />

communication and decision making<br />

(2) For staff, cross-functional<br />

operating units are able to push<br />

relevant information to interested<br />

persons, reduce process timeline,<br />

utilise untapped resources, and<br />

enhance outcome quality<br />

(3) For the organisation, it<br />

avails contemporary and relevant<br />

information that assists and<br />

expedites task performance and<br />

decision making, advancing<br />

individual and group performance<br />

via enhanced situational and issuespecific<br />

knowledge.<br />

“Within the AFMS, the beginning<br />

of the information management<br />

lifecycle often starts with the creation<br />

of a Microsoft Office document that<br />

gets saved into various document<br />

management systems and file<br />

servers,” says Lt Col James D.<br />

Whitlock, USAF, MSC, Chief,<br />

Decision Support Branch, AFMS.<br />

“Incorporating Concept Searching’s<br />

compound term processing engine<br />

capability into AFMS’ knowledge<br />

management operations has<br />

increased exposure of enterprise<br />

content and the precision by which<br />

that information is retrieved.”<br />

“In addition to eliminating<br />

the cost associated with manual<br />

tagging and filing of information<br />

assets, Concept Searching provides<br />

our subject matter experts with a<br />

user-friendly user interface enabling<br />

the development of controlled<br />

vocabularies that can be used to<br />

filter search results and auto-classify<br />

content to folder structures,”<br />

Motor Vehicle Periodical Inspection<br />

Making business easier<br />

Motor Vehicle Periodical<br />

Inspection (MVPI) is an<br />

authorised agency in the Kingdom<br />

of Saudi Arabia for vehicle<br />

component diagnostic systems<br />

for the transport industry. It<br />

evaluates vehicle condition and<br />

performance through a wide<br />

range of parameters including<br />

brake efficiency, steering,<br />

suspension, exhaust emissions<br />

and wheel alignment. MVPI<br />

employs advanced equipment<br />

and technologies imported from<br />

Europe and Japan to serve this<br />

purpose. E-enterprises (E2)<br />

played a significant role in<br />

providing an end-to-end state of<br />

the art vehicle inspection system<br />

(VIS) solution, which automates<br />

its business cohesive with its<br />

inspection equipment systems<br />

and enterprise resource planning<br />

(ERP) systems, correspondingly<br />

making it easy to provide various<br />

departments with relevant vital<br />

statistical data for their industry.<br />

MVPI was in need of an<br />

advanced enterprise-level solution<br />

that would meet the General Traffic<br />

Directorate (GTD) requirements<br />

for interacting with its system<br />

based on its standards, integrate<br />

with its old legacy systems running<br />

on disparate technologies and also<br />

unite with its new ERP system.<br />

This would importantly provide<br />

precision of information and<br />

details to the finance and revenue,<br />

technical, quality control and<br />

human resource departments. The<br />

system shares certain information<br />

with the Ministry of Interior, as per<br />

the agreement, to extend its service<br />

for residents.<br />

In 2008, MVPI enlisted E2 to<br />

provide the total open standard,<br />

new generation enterprise-level<br />

solution that would connect all<br />

of its stations throughout Saudi<br />

Arabia with the MVPI national<br />

headquarters (NHQ) (and would<br />

also provide the ability to include<br />

any new station that the MVPI may<br />

open in the future).<br />

“The VIS provided by<br />

E2 is a fully customised<br />

system and it makes our<br />

customers’ business easier<br />

through the real-time<br />

integration with GTD”<br />

E2 made full use of the rich<br />

Microsoft technology available<br />

to develop a scalable and robust<br />

solution compliant with MVPI’s<br />

requirements. The VIS system<br />

is developed using .NET and<br />

SQL Server technology and runs<br />

on a Windows platform, thus<br />

providing a paradigm of ease for<br />

a user-friendly experience. Each<br />

station’s VIS model is a standalone<br />

entity fully integrated with<br />

MVPI NHQ through the Microsoft<br />

SQL Server Replication Services,<br />

to enable MVPI top management<br />

to remotely monitor them. The<br />

VIS system developed by E2’s<br />

software development team using<br />

.NET N-Tier technology consists of<br />

multiple applications, background<br />

services and tools to automate the<br />

whole business process, which took<br />

more than 2,000 man-days. E2 also<br />

provided support to help MVPI<br />

migrate its old legacy AS400 system<br />

to the new Microsoft Dynamics AX<br />

system, thus providing easy access<br />

to detailed financial aspects, human<br />

resources, real estate management,<br />

procurement and payroll.<br />

“The VIS provided by E2 is a<br />

Austrian federal ministries<br />

E-gov strategies<br />

The ‘ELAK im Bund’ (federal<br />

electronic file management) project<br />

is a European project for the<br />

implementation of e-government<br />

strategies. The federal ministries<br />

in Austria have been creating,<br />

managing and editing their files<br />

electronically since 2004. As the<br />

software supplier, Fabasoft is<br />

responsible for product updates and<br />

product developments (including,<br />

for example, ELAK Espresso and<br />

Dual Delivery) that provide a new<br />

degree of user-friendliness.<br />

The ELAK reference solution<br />

is run in a federal computer centre<br />

in a central hardware and software<br />

infrastructure based on Microsoft<br />

Windows Server and Microsoft SQL<br />

Server database. Regular software<br />

updates enhance user-friendliness<br />

and add new functionalities. The<br />

upgrade to Version 8 SP1 of Fabasoft<br />

eGov-Suite took place in 2010<br />

to provide further e-government<br />

functionalities, such as the full<br />

text search Mindbreeze Enterprise<br />

Search 3.0 and electronic delivery.<br />

The federal electronic file<br />

management project ‘ELAK im Bund’<br />

is part of the Austrian e-government<br />

strategy, which aims to enhance<br />

the services provided by the federal<br />

administration. The comprehensive<br />

implementation of electronic files is<br />

intended to result in all central offices<br />

of the federal ministries replacing<br />

paper files with electronic files.<br />

ELAK thus means a completely<br />

automated handling of business<br />

p r o c e s s e s a n d s e a m l e s s<br />

administrative cooperation between<br />

the respective authorities. The<br />

project began in July 2001 and an<br />

international tender was issued<br />

in 2002 to find the right partner<br />

to implement the electronic<br />

file management system. The<br />

specification catalogue of ELAK<br />

Concept 1.1. served as the basis for<br />

the tendering process.<br />

In 2003 Fabasoft, as a<br />

subcontractor of the ELAK<br />

consortium, was appointed to<br />

implement the electronic file system<br />

based on Fabasoft eGov-Suite. In the<br />

course of an intensive testing phase it<br />

became clear that with Fabasoft eGov-<br />

Suite, virtually all of the over 800<br />

requirements of ELAK Concept 1.1.<br />

and the single-product strategy of the<br />

Republic of Austria were fulfilled. The<br />

rollout at 12 federal ministries started<br />

in February 2004 and was completed<br />

in February 2005. With upgrades to<br />

Fabasoft eGov-Suite Version 7.0<br />

SP1 in 2008 and Version 8 SP1<br />

in 2010, additional functionalities<br />

such as extended e-government<br />

opportunities, Mindbreeze Enterprise<br />

Search, dual delivery and digital<br />

signature have been made available,<br />

as well as specific support for<br />

subordinated agencies.<br />

Fabasoft operations managers<br />

support ELAK operators to ensure<br />

the system runs smoothly. No<br />

downtime is allowed. Thanks to the<br />

introduction of ELAK, the Austrian<br />

federal administration has been<br />

able to considerably improve its<br />

service performance. The inspection<br />

and exchange of correspondence<br />

between departments now takes<br />

place, to a large extent, electronically.<br />

This greatly reduces the time it<br />

takes to deal with administrative<br />

processes. The concept means that<br />

it will be possible to expand the<br />

solution to offices and departments<br />

beyond the current scope. The<br />

electronic file system replaces paperbased<br />

files at federal level.<br />

The system has 10,000 users,<br />

over 10 terabytes of content, and<br />

over 120 million objects divided<br />

between two computer centres and<br />

one backup computer centre (more<br />

than 100 terabytes of storage).<br />

Processing times have been<br />

reduced by 10 to 15 per cent, files<br />

and documents can be processed<br />

on an inter-ministerial level and<br />

a comprehensive document<br />

management system is included.<br />

There is 24/7 availability of ELAK<br />

based on defined service levels.<br />

MyClinic<br />

Changing the way the<br />

system works<br />

First Impression MyClinic,<br />

Denmark is leading the way by<br />

developing the electronic health<br />

record (EHR) solution MyClinic; it<br />

is an advanced and elegant solution<br />

solving health care documentation<br />

in a valuable manner.<br />

The healthcare <strong>sector</strong> in Denmark<br />

has for several years been at the forefron<br />

in computerised documentations for<br />

health care services. An advanced EHR<br />

system has been developed by First<br />

Impression MyClinic. The company<br />

has created a solution to enhance<br />

structured information flow between<br />

patient and health professionals and<br />

through which all administrative<br />

workflows and management<br />

information is available.<br />

Microsoft’s partner First Impression<br />

MyClinic provides a modern EHR<br />

solution built on Microsoft Dynamics<br />

AX. This means no more outdated and<br />

archaic patient records, no islands of<br />

data or autonomous spreadsheets.<br />

This solution links together all<br />

information into a central database,<br />

The Hierarchical Electronic Medical<br />

Record, with diagnosis as the main<br />

element. Linked to each patient<br />

course is all the connecting data<br />

including internal notes, discharge<br />

notes, medication, laboratory and<br />

ancillary data – all collected in a subwindow<br />

showing the information in<br />

chronological order with an overview<br />

of each diagnosis – the user might<br />

even set up their own views. This is a<br />

unique way of handling and showing<br />

complex data – an accessible overview<br />

with the option for deeper analysis.<br />

There is also concurrent data<br />

relating to medication, The Drug<br />

Record, showing prescription and<br />

drug dose history. The record will<br />

show how the patient has responded<br />

to certain treatments and therefore<br />

the relationship between treatment,<br />

medication and clinical measures will<br />

appear and allow for the planning and<br />

execution of future treatment.<br />

Graphics are a highly important<br />

element of the solution. Graphs are<br />

used to provide a fast overview of large<br />

amount of data and can display patient<br />

history, as well as being incorporated<br />

into preventative health care. A simple<br />

example of the latter would be that<br />

MyClinic automatically calculates<br />

Body Mass Index (BMI) and so has<br />

the means to display developments of<br />

patients’ BMI during the last decade.<br />

The advantages of implementing<br />

such a solution are obvious: to have<br />

a patient’s medical history and<br />

examination results readily available<br />

will save time in initial diagnosis. From<br />

there, guides will ensure that the proper<br />

examinations are carried out, and that<br />

all aspects are taken into consideration,<br />

while seeing their previous treatment<br />

record will save time and resources in<br />

“The health industry<br />

is one of the most<br />

technically advanced<br />

<strong>sector</strong>s in the world, but<br />

the documentation and<br />

availability of patient<br />

records is often seen as<br />

outdated and archaic”<br />

avoiding repetition of the unsuccessful<br />

treatments of the past.<br />

MyClinic is being used in an<br />

ever-growing amount of clinics,<br />

private hospitals and county health<br />

services. Due to its very nature, the<br />

solution is adaptable to the needs of<br />

its user – the largest installation so<br />

far holds complete electronic health<br />

records for more than 800,000<br />

people, while picking information<br />

out is virtually instantaneous.<br />

Eagle Crisis Management System<br />

When disaster strikes...<br />

When disaster strikes, it is vital for<br />

the various rescue and emergency<br />

organisations to be able to share the<br />

exact same up-to-date information,<br />

be it spatial, textual or otherwise.<br />

This shared information is known<br />

as the common operational picture.<br />

Microsoft, Geodan and Esri<br />

Nederland together have developed<br />

the Eagle Crisis Management<br />

System, which makes it possible<br />

to create a common operational<br />

picture. By applying the concept<br />

of ‘working netcentrically’ this<br />

system supports the emergency<br />

services in the field and provides<br />

the organisations involved with<br />

up-to-the minute information at the<br />

right time during a crisis situation.<br />

The Middle Gelderland region of<br />

the eastern Netherlands is home to<br />

approximately 700,000 residents<br />

living in 16 municipalities. With<br />

more than 1,000 employees, the<br />

Emergency Service Region oversees<br />

the fire brigades, ambulance crews,<br />

police, and public health services, as<br />

well as providing disaster response<br />

services for floods and forest fires.<br />

Like many emergency response<br />

agencies around the world, the Middle<br />

Gelderland Emergency Service Region<br />

is required to coordinate operations<br />

with several other organisations in the<br />

event of a disaster.<br />

In emergency response<br />

situations every minute is critical,<br />

and coordinating multiple agencies<br />

quickly is essential to a fast and<br />

effective operation. However, the<br />

information systems used by the<br />

Emergency Service Region often<br />

created frustrations for emergency<br />

response staff. Not satisfied with<br />

its current system, the Emergency<br />

Service Region embarked on an effort<br />

to develop a new IT solution that<br />

would help it respond as quickly and<br />

effectively as possible to any disaster,<br />

while enhancing functionality for dayto-day<br />

responsibilities.<br />

On the basis of the identified<br />

requirements, Geodan, Esri<br />

Nederland and Microsoft developed<br />

a new system with the following key<br />

features: situational awareness; realtime<br />

location awareness; sharing<br />

data among different organisations;<br />

large data-flows, allows collaboration<br />

between (different) organisations;<br />

supports strategic, tactical and<br />

operational levels; works under<br />

extreme conditions and is based<br />

on applications that are used in<br />

day-to-day operations. Based on its<br />

experience, the Middle Gelderland<br />

Emergency Service Region estimates<br />

that the Eagle Suite has allowed<br />

them to cut 20 minutes off each 60<br />

minute status meeting, which lets<br />

them take action much faster.<br />

Eagle has been successfully tested<br />

and evaluated in large-scale reallife<br />

exercises. Based on the positive<br />

evaluations of two exercises, Eagle<br />

has won the prominent Dutch <strong>Public</strong><br />

Safety Award 2008.<br />

The flood disaster in Pakistan that<br />

started in August 2010 is possibly the<br />

largest disaster in recent history in<br />

terms of number of people affected.<br />

A team of volunteers from the Eagle<br />

joint venture (worked locally to<br />

install, train and implement the Eagle<br />

Crisis Management System. The aim<br />

was to quickly collect mapping and<br />

relief knowledge to help the people<br />

of Pakistan to cope with the disaster.<br />

What makes Eagle so special is that<br />

the information is linked directly to<br />

a map. The map, together with the<br />

text, forms a powerful combination,<br />

which enhances decision making<br />

and the speed at which action can be<br />

taken in an emergency. Built on top<br />

of Microsoft Groove and SharePoint,<br />

the Eagle Disaster Management Suite<br />

is as easy to use as Microsoft Office.<br />

Sochi 2014 Organizing Committee<br />

Ahead of the game<br />

On 4 July 2007, the International<br />

Olympic Committee chose Sochi<br />

to host the XXII Winter Olympics<br />

and XI Winter Paralympics in<br />

2014. Thanks to this decision<br />

Russia won the right to host the<br />

Winter Olympics for the first time<br />

ever. The Sochi 2014 Organizing<br />

Committee is responsible for<br />

preparing, implementing, and<br />

conducting the Games, and was<br />

established in October 2007.<br />

Establishing a corporate<br />

information management system<br />

plays an important role in the process<br />

of preparing for the event. The system<br />

is designed to support the work of the<br />

Sochi 2014 Organizing Committee<br />

in all key activity areas and at all<br />

stages. Each of these stages features<br />

great changes in the principles of<br />

management accounting, business<br />

processes, and organisational and<br />

functional structure.<br />

A range of criteria were taken<br />

into account when choosing a<br />

system, including flexibility and<br />

scalability, the ability to support the<br />

complex organisational structure of<br />

the Organizing Committee and the<br />

principle of separate subdivisions,<br />

productivity, compliance to<br />

the technological platform and<br />

compatibility with already-existing<br />

IT architecture, and finally user<br />

convenience and other parameters.<br />

The Organizing Committee chose<br />

the Microsoft Dynamics AX system.<br />

GMCS, a leading consulting company<br />

in the IT <strong>sector</strong> that works in the<br />

Russian market, was selected as one<br />

of the system integrators. Financial,<br />

tax and management accounting,<br />

treasury, budgeting, investment<br />

flow management, logistics and<br />

procurement management, and<br />

documentation flows were all<br />

automated in a short time.<br />

The corporate management<br />

system has been in constant use<br />

since Spring 2009, linking the<br />

Organizing Committee’s offices<br />

in Moscow and Sochi into a<br />

united informational space. The<br />

Committee has gained a number<br />

of advantages. It can effectively<br />

plan its requirements for goods<br />

and services, as well as manage<br />

its costs when making purchases.<br />

In particular, an integrated<br />

approach is used when planning<br />

purchasing and financial activity,<br />

which makes it possible to perform<br />

both ‘descending’ and ‘ascending’<br />

financial planning for the required<br />

periods of detail. Furthermore,<br />

monitoring the whole cycle of<br />

purchasing activity has become<br />

much simpler.<br />

The amount of time needed<br />

to prepare and approve budgets<br />

has been reduced, while the<br />

effectiveness of control over<br />

budget fulfilment has increased.<br />

The system enables the control<br />

budget fulfilment after receiving<br />

final factual results for income<br />

and expenditures, and to compare<br />

planned and factual results and<br />

analyse deviations. The total<br />

budget for the Games is corrected<br />

based on the data received, and the<br />

activity of functional subdivisions of<br />

the Organizing Committee for the<br />

period is evaluated.<br />

The efficiency and accuracy<br />

of accounting formed by the<br />

Organization Committee both<br />

for the International Olympic<br />

Committee and sponsors of the<br />

Games as well as for internal use<br />

increases. The ability to reconcile<br />

documents in electronic form<br />

further increases the Organizing<br />

Committee’s ability to fulfil its<br />

green office programme. Technical<br />

support is ensured over the whole<br />

period of use of the system by<br />

GMCS, including functionality<br />

implemented by other contractors<br />

(personnel management), and<br />

further development of the system<br />

in accordance with the changing<br />

demands of the Organizing<br />

Committee.<br />

IABAS and SPDM<br />

Knowledge is power<br />

HIS – e-Health Innovation Systems<br />

is a Portuguese company focused<br />

on health information technology<br />

systems. It was founded in May<br />

2007 as a result of a technologybased<br />

spin-off from the University<br />

of Coimbra and Pedro Nunes<br />

Institute in Portugal.<br />

In 2010, HIS became a member<br />

of the Ongoing Group companies’<br />

portfolio (one of the major TMT<br />

groups with a strategic focus on the<br />

Portuguese speaking countries),<br />

which was already established<br />

in Portugal, Brazil, Angola,<br />

Mozambique, Esta-Timor and<br />

Macau.<br />

VITAHISCARE, a product<br />

designed by HIS, is an information<br />

system oriented towards the<br />

integrated management of<br />

patients’ clinical processes,<br />

as well as administrative and<br />

financial activities, ensuring the<br />

management of healthcare facilities.<br />

It is a versatile solution that covers<br />

primary care, secondary care (such<br />

as hospitals and clinics) and social<br />

care (mainly home care), ensuring<br />

confidentiality and support for<br />

user profile differentiation in<br />

information handling. It also<br />

helps to improve the quality of<br />

the information through action<br />

protocols and international clinical<br />

decision support guidelines.<br />

The product is easily and highly<br />

customisable (with a clean and<br />

user-friendly interface), based on<br />

workflows and patient-centred.<br />

Therefore, given its features and<br />

the ability to be configured at<br />

an institution’s wish, it is a very<br />

competitive solution, perfectly<br />

suited for the management of any<br />

healthcare facility.<br />

Since its inception, HIS has<br />

followed a path that is closely<br />

connected to Microsoft. Starting<br />

from the several competencies<br />

acquired at the Microsoft partner<br />

network, HIS has always followed<br />

innovation programmes and other<br />

early adopter initiatives.<br />

IABAS and SPDM are Brazilian<br />

non governmental organisations<br />

responsible for managing more<br />

than 100 health care family clinics<br />

based in Rio de Janeiro. The<br />

Brazilian authorities are strongly<br />

committed to the success of their<br />

Programa de Saúde da Família,<br />

and a key concept is the ability<br />

to deliver effective care closely to<br />

the communities. Thus, giving<br />

mobility to the health care staff and<br />

having one patient-centred clinical<br />

information system were decisive<br />

for VITAHISCARE selection.<br />

In this implementation, the<br />

units have installed VITAHISCARE<br />

Primary Care Solution (patient<br />

registration and appointment<br />

scheduling, clinical information<br />

regarding primary care programmes<br />

such as diabetes, hypertension,<br />

child health, maternal health, oral<br />

health, cancer prevention and<br />

specific areas like tuberculosis<br />

and HIV), electronic prescribing<br />

and statistical reports with georeferenced<br />

information. This<br />

project also involves a mobility<br />

product from VITAHISCARE that<br />

allows employees to access and<br />

register information at the point of<br />

care: at people’s home.<br />

In the current scenario<br />

VITAHISCARE uses technologies<br />

like Microsoft Internet Information<br />

Services, .NET Framework,<br />

Windows Presentation Foundation<br />

and SQL Server 2008. Better<br />

knowledge about the population<br />

‘s health status will provide the<br />

ability to promote effective resource<br />

management and to conduct<br />

preventive health measures more<br />

suitable for each community, family<br />

or patient.<br />

European hospitals<br />

Patient flow<br />

visualisation<br />

Clinical processes can be<br />

characterised as non-deterministic,<br />

meaning that beforehand you<br />

don’t know which core actions are<br />

to be performed, the order and<br />

the actor(s) responsible for them.<br />

These types of processes are more<br />

appropriately characterised as<br />

problem solving activities. The exact<br />

flow of activities is case dependent<br />

(for example the health issue of<br />

the patient), and the decisions that<br />

individual participants make is<br />

based on their assessment of this<br />

problem and their knowledge. A<br />

complicating factor is that health<br />

professionals are working on<br />

multiple problems at once. A proper<br />

solution to help clinical staff deal<br />

with these challenges does not lie in<br />

controlling the flow of work, but in<br />

providing all those involved with a<br />

360-degree real-time overview of the<br />

patient’s status and progress of care.<br />

“By making the process<br />

transparent to all those involved, the<br />

users can properly coordinate their<br />

work – coordination is facilitated but<br />

not forced upon them,” says Morten<br />

Andresen, CEO of Imatis.<br />

Norwegian health care specialist,<br />

Imatis, in cooperation with<br />

European hospitals, has developed<br />

a comprehensive enterprise wide<br />

patient care visibility system IMATIS<br />

Visi that provides a 360-degree view<br />

of patient flow. In the emergency<br />

department, operating room, intensive<br />

care unit, pre/post operation and other<br />

inpatient wards, IMATIS Visi provides<br />

all employees, including clinicians,<br />

management, and others with aroundthe-clock,<br />

real-time information about<br />

patient location, diagnosis, planned<br />

actions, order status and results, alerts,<br />

resources the patient is waiting for and<br />

expected discharge time. All of this<br />

information is visually displayed on<br />

electronic patient care communication<br />

boards tailored to each department’s<br />

need.<br />

IMATIS Visi has been developed<br />

using state of the art technology from<br />

Microsoft like Silverlight, SQL Server<br />

and BizTalk.<br />

The goal of IMATIS Visi is to make it<br />

easier to get a real-time overview of key<br />

information regarding patients and<br />

resources in the department/ward in<br />

order to mange workflow and patient<br />

flow better. An important benefit is<br />

that the system allows users to see an<br />

overview of a patient’s status without<br />

disturbing the workflow. Ordinarily,<br />

clinicians spend a lot of time locating<br />

patients or calling other departments<br />

to inquire about test results, etc. This<br />

time can now be dramatically reduced<br />

and will result in improved efficiency<br />

and a decreased level of stress on<br />

hospital staff. Research has shown<br />

that hospitals who have implemented<br />

patient flow visualisation solutions<br />

have had significant improvement<br />

in productivity, in addition to more<br />

satisfied patients and improved<br />

control over logistics and patient flow.<br />

Induct Open Innovation community<br />

Healthcare innovation<br />

The KASK Innovation project<br />

was initiated by the European<br />

Union to exploit the enormous<br />

innovation potential present<br />

in the healthcare <strong>sector</strong>. It is a<br />

collaborative project involving<br />

participation by three university<br />

hospitals: Aalborg Sygehus<br />

from Denmark, Oslo University<br />

Hospital from Norway, and<br />

Sahlgrenska University Hospital<br />

from Sweden. Using collaborative<br />

innovation management software<br />

from Induct Software of Norway,<br />

the hospitals have formed an open<br />

healthcare innovation zone.<br />

There has been an increased focus<br />

on innovation at global level and has<br />

become a competitive parameter to<br />

which companies in both the private<br />

and public <strong>sector</strong>s will have to relate.<br />

The KASK region contains strong<br />

knowledge environments related to<br />

healthcare in general. Of particular<br />

interest are the major university<br />

and regional hospitals. The areas of<br />

competition for the hospitals include<br />

the successful implementation of<br />

continuous patient progress, patient<br />

satisfaction, increased efficiency and<br />

productivity, and technology transfer<br />

and spin-off businesses. The increased<br />

focus on innovation is a challenge<br />

that opens new perspectives for<br />

systematic innovation across national<br />

borders . The institutions and regions<br />

which develop and implement new<br />

innovative concepts will be the future<br />

winners. There is a great potential for<br />

commercialisation and dissemination<br />

of research and innovation in these<br />

knowledge communities.<br />

Cross-border cooperation will<br />

enable hospitals to utilise experience<br />

and knowledge in organisations<br />

related to research and development,<br />

and commercialisation. The partners<br />

will jointly build an infrastructure for<br />

the development of innovation and<br />

commercialisation of research, which<br />

will lead to increased innovation,<br />

more efficiency, and savings.<br />

Induct Software is working<br />

with the hospital in order to<br />

provide optimal handling of the<br />

entire innovation process and to<br />

create an environment of dialogue<br />

and involvement in innovation.<br />

This powerful solution, based on<br />

Microsoft .NET and SQL Server will<br />

be further developed in collaboration<br />

with health authorities to meet the<br />

complexities and cultural challenges<br />

in the health <strong>sector</strong>, as well as fully<br />

utilising elements such as Microsoft<br />

FAST ESP search capabilities and<br />

SQL Azure.<br />

Dr. Kari J. Kværner, director<br />

of innovation at Oslo University<br />

Hospital and Professor at the<br />

University of Oslo, says: “Induct<br />

enables us to significantly increase<br />

the innovation capacity within<br />

Oslo University Hospital.” The<br />

project is tied into research projects<br />

in cooperation with SINTEF and<br />

doctoral candidates.<br />

The Induct solution will provide<br />

a convenient way for employees<br />

to report suggestions for new<br />

ideas or improvements related to<br />

process, service, or product. The<br />

platform will contribute to optimal<br />

handling of the entire innovation<br />

process, from registration to<br />

implementation, and ensure a good<br />

utilisation of overall organisational<br />

competence. Development and<br />

deployment of the solution will<br />

take place in phases and in close<br />

interaction with relevant user<br />

communities. The potential for this<br />

type of platform goes far beyond the<br />

KASK region’s needs. It has already<br />

been used to establish contact with<br />

other healthcare stakeholders, and<br />

has been delivered to several other<br />

market <strong>sector</strong>s across the globe.<br />

The use of Open Innovation<br />

among these university hospitals<br />

using Induct’s innovation<br />

management platform is currently<br />

underway and looks promising for<br />

the future.<br />

Finland’s state Treasury<br />

Providing a connection<br />

The State Treasury is a service<br />

agency managed by Finland’s<br />

Ministry of Finance. It is<br />

responsible for the government’s<br />

internal financial and fiscal<br />

administration, arrangements<br />

for damage compensation and<br />

injuries suffered by military<br />

personnel, and veterans’ affairs. It<br />

also develops shared government<br />

IT systems and support services<br />

for financial and human<br />

resources management, as well<br />

as promoting the development<br />

of the government’s working<br />

communities.<br />

By government mandate, the<br />

State Treasury is additionally<br />

responsible for administering the<br />

Citizen’s Account, a special service<br />

which provides a secure channel<br />

for electronic communications,<br />

notifications and messages between<br />

government authorities and the<br />

public. All service providers in<br />

central and local government can<br />

register to use the Citizen’s Account.<br />

The service offers a single<br />

client interface between public<br />

administrative bodies and citizens.<br />

Using their personal e-service<br />

account (e-account), members of<br />

the public can communicate with<br />

the authorities at any time and from<br />

any location. Upon completion of a<br />

transaction, the authority concerned<br />

can notify a client of its decision<br />

directly via an e-account in real time.<br />

The Citizen’s Account is a<br />

labour-saving convenience for<br />

public bodies as it accelerates the<br />

process of handling transactions.<br />

It makes the processes of issuing<br />

requests for additional information<br />

and notifying clients of decisions<br />

much easier. Official notification<br />

procedures can also be handled in<br />

a more flexible manner. Requests<br />

for additional information required<br />

to process incomplete transactions<br />

can also be handled. It is also<br />

expected to reduce both postage<br />

costs and the demand for phone<br />

services.<br />

Offering a one-stop shop, the<br />

Citizen’s Account helps build public<br />

trust and confidence in government<br />

services. The reduced need for paper<br />

transactions and postage is expected<br />

to cut costs. Enabling public bodies<br />

to contact clients in connection with<br />

ongoing transactions saves time. The<br />

Citizen’s Account also provides a<br />

common, standardised platform for<br />

future development.<br />

The Citizen’s Account must<br />

fulfil rigorous demands in terms of<br />

information security and the ability<br />

to support large numbers of users.<br />

Based on Microsoft technology<br />

including Microsoft Windows Server,<br />

SQL Server and Internet Information<br />

Services, the Citizen’s Account is a<br />

reliable, scalable and secure solution<br />

and represents a good example of an<br />

implementation of this technicallydemanding<br />

application.<br />

The Citizen’s Account is part<br />

of the Suomi.fi public services<br />

Wolverhampton City Council, UK<br />

Overcoming challenges<br />

Wolverhampton City Council<br />

(WCC) is a local authority in the<br />

UK with responsibility for meeting<br />

the needs of the area’s schools. Its<br />

vision is to ‘place children, young<br />

people and their families at the<br />

heart of an e-enabled system’ in<br />

order to transform education and<br />

overcome the social and economic<br />

challenges across the city.<br />

WCC wanted a technology<br />

platform that would help it<br />

build a more socially cohesive<br />

community, with strong Web<br />

presence available 24/7. It realised<br />

it had to provide a highly secure,<br />

yet collaborative platform, which<br />

would allow schools to engage<br />

teachers, learners and parents. UK<br />

government aspirations to harness<br />

technology to enhance learning,<br />

elicit student voice and widen<br />

parental engagement were slow to<br />

produce success stories and WCC<br />

were cognisant that a technology<br />

solution alone would not be<br />

enough. It had to be paired with a<br />

sound pedagogical approach.<br />

WCC selected Learning<br />

Possibilities as a partner and<br />

‘Engage’ was born – a collaborative<br />

platform designed to meet the<br />

needs of Wolverhampton’s learning<br />

community and to facilitate and<br />

bring together rich and innovative<br />

education practices. Dave Whyley,<br />

e-Services team, Wolverhampton<br />

City Council, describes it as: “The<br />

glue which brings all our school<br />

improvement, policy areas and<br />

transformation initiatives together.”<br />

The solution is built upon<br />

Microsoft’s Learning Gateway:<br />

SharePoint and Exchange providing<br />

a robust communication and<br />

collaboration platform. Microsoft’s<br />

Forefront Threat Management<br />

Gateway (TMG) 2010 provided the<br />

highest levels of safety and security<br />

for the learners within the community<br />

– and allowed their data to be<br />

shared across agencies and schools.<br />

Each school was provided with<br />

its own LP+ learning portal sitting<br />

underneath ‘Engage’ with tool and<br />

content-rich virtual classrooms. The<br />

organisations also jointly authored<br />

ADOPT, a five-stage technology<br />

adoption framework which allows<br />

schools to measure successes in using<br />

Microsoft technologies and plan their<br />

‘pathway’ towards transformation –<br />

ADOPT would underpin pedagogical<br />

innovation.<br />

One year later, an independent<br />

review by Lancaster University<br />

highlighted significant benefits.<br />

Parents reported they felt better<br />

able to support their child’s<br />

learning. National school inspectors<br />

also acknowledged the benefits.<br />

According to the OFSTED school<br />

inspection report 2009: “Community<br />

cohesion is an increasing strength<br />

... the school learning platform<br />

allows for communication with<br />

parents, governors and the wider<br />

community.”<br />

Collaboration projects between<br />

schools have shaped innovative<br />

teaching and learners are more<br />

engaged – 20 per cent of pupils<br />

improved participation in learning;<br />

more homework was completed;<br />

pupils’ sense of responsibility and<br />

behaviour was improved; and<br />

pupils were extended in learning<br />

for longer periods of time and<br />

during extended hours. Attainment<br />

also increased: pupils’ ability to<br />

reason was improved through<br />

online working; pupils had more<br />

time to think and to reference<br />

opinions or related learning; and<br />

a broader range of ability groups<br />

UnEP; Secretariats of the Basel, Rotterdam and Stockholm Conventions<br />

Inter-office cooperation<br />

The United Nations Environmental<br />

Programme (UNEP) gets a jump<br />

on the rest of the organisation<br />

by adopting a simple document<br />

management solution that allows<br />

it to eliminate paper files, share<br />

legal records across borders, and<br />

automate procedures.<br />

Osmany Pereira Gonzalez<br />

heads the joint services of the<br />

Basel, Rotterdam and Stockholm<br />

C o n v e n t i o n s i n G e n e v a ,<br />

Switzerland. The office is one of<br />

several UN locations that assist in<br />

implementing three multilateral<br />

treaties on hazardous materials.<br />

Each legal instrument covers<br />

different aspects of international<br />

chemical production, use, trade,<br />

and disposal.<br />

Most of its mission, Pereira says, is<br />

informational. His office delivers the<br />

appropriate technical and legal details<br />

to governments and corporations<br />

seeking compliance. “When<br />

countries commit to a legally binding<br />

agreement, information becomes<br />

a valuable tool,” says Pereira. “A<br />

lot of our work is ensuring that the<br />

proper information gets to the right<br />

people at the right time, which is why<br />

information technology is so central<br />

to our success.”<br />

The Geneva Joint Services<br />

office was established shortly after<br />

the Rotterdam and Stockholm<br />

Conventions became active.<br />

Although tasked with a new<br />

mission, the office inherited<br />

technical and business processes<br />

from its parent UN organisation.<br />

The new department was resourced<br />

with Windows-based PCs and<br />

servers using Microsoft’s .NET<br />

Framework, but it still relied heavily<br />

on paper file systems.<br />

“The bulk of the United Nations<br />

has been slow to adopt new<br />

technologies,” he explains. “At the<br />

start, we had a lot of processes that<br />

were still stuck in the 1960s, when<br />

they wrote letters and memos on<br />

typewriters.”<br />

Pereira and his staff recognised<br />

the inefficiencies of paper files and<br />

foresaw the difficulty in fulfilling<br />

its global mission using outdated<br />

methods. Sharing documentation<br />

among other UN locations seemed<br />

cumbersome. For example, the office<br />

shared paper records with the Food<br />

and Agricultural Organization (FAO)<br />

based in Rome, Italy. Each time one<br />

office received a new document,<br />

it would send a fax to the other,<br />

indicating what items were added to<br />

the collective archives.<br />

Pereira and the head of IT,<br />

Federico Izzo, envisioned a system<br />

where employees could not only<br />

store, retrieve, and easily share all<br />

legal and technical content digitally,<br />

but could also track step-by-step<br />

procedures with workflow tools.<br />

“With only 70 employees, we<br />

have a relatively small office,” says<br />

Pereira, “but we have to serve the<br />

whole world – all regions and all<br />

conventions. We felt the office<br />

needed the capabilities that you<br />

find in an enterprise resource<br />

planning (ERP) system. We<br />

needed good systems to manage<br />

our documents, contacts, and<br />

networks while also effectively<br />

tracking our correspondence for<br />

official communications between<br />

the Secretariat and all participating<br />

nations.”<br />

The Geneva office of UNEP<br />

implemented a document<br />

management solution called M-Files<br />

developed by Motive Systems.<br />

In a multi-user environment,<br />

M-Files software runs on both<br />

client computers as well as the<br />

server. Individual users can access<br />

the M-Files Vault – a centralised<br />

repository of all documents in<br />

the organisation – much like they<br />

would a removable drive. Rather<br />

than storing digital files loosely<br />

defined in folders and subfolders,<br />

M-Files structures every document<br />

within a searchable database<br />

organised and indexed with user-<br />

www.onwindows.com


definable tags or properties, also<br />

known as metadata.<br />

“We decided to make an<br />

essential archive of our documents<br />

in M-Files and to use the indexing<br />

and notification features of M-Files<br />

to facilitate our day-to-day work,”<br />

says Pereira, who found the digital<br />

file solution very affordable to<br />

implement while providing all the<br />

essential features:<br />

Simple metadata indexing of<br />

files: The indexing method behind<br />

M-Files is easy to understand.<br />

In lieu of saving files in folder<br />

locations, a user ‘tags’ a document<br />

with descriptive key words or<br />

category names. The document<br />

can later be quickly retrieved by<br />

searching on any of these terms.<br />

High-volume imaging: The office<br />

could easily convert old paper records<br />

into a fully indexed, searchable digital<br />

archive. M-Files can import digital<br />

scans in large quantities, assigning<br />

appropriate metadata key terms to<br />

stacks of related documents. M-Files<br />

also automatically indexes incoming<br />

faxes and e-mails.<br />

Full integration with Windows:<br />

Rather than a separate application<br />

or software program with a new<br />

user interface to learn, M-Files is<br />

deeply integrated into Windows<br />

Explorer and it can be accessed<br />

through the standard open/<br />

save commands of all Windows<br />

applications, just like a typical hard<br />

drive on the user’s PC. The familiar<br />

interface eased the staff’s gradual<br />

transition to paperless processes.<br />

Remote access: UN workers in<br />

Rotterdam Convention offices<br />

in Rome also installed M-Files,<br />

allowing them to search and retrieve<br />

items in the archives in Geneva.<br />

“M-Files has resulted in a huge increase in productivity and<br />

accuracy in the performance of our agency”<br />

Workflow: A combination of<br />

special keyword tags, Microsoft<br />

Word templates, and M-Files<br />

automatic e-mail notifications,<br />

creates a simple but highly effective<br />

workflow structure that is easily<br />

customisable for any recurring task.<br />

For example, when a notification<br />

comes from a party to the Convention,<br />

nominating their Official Contact<br />

Point, the notification is first entered in<br />

a template form and saved in M-Files,<br />

and then the system automatically<br />

e-mails a notice to the staff lawyer for<br />

identity verification. Once approved,<br />

the save command triggers another<br />

e-mail request to data entry personnel,<br />

who then add the nominee as an official<br />

contact into the database. Pereora says:<br />

“M-Files reminds us of the steps in each<br />

process, and keeps the process on track<br />

and moving forward.”<br />

“M-Files has resulted in a huge<br />

increase in productivity and<br />

accuracy in the performance of our<br />

agency,” he adds.<br />

He sees M-Files as ideal for public<br />

<strong>sector</strong> offices that need to improve<br />

the way they manage documents<br />

and processes, but need to do so<br />

gradually – and inexpensively –<br />

without interruption in normal<br />

activities. “The significance is that<br />

M-Files achieves a paperless office in<br />

a very simple manner, making it easy<br />

to quickly get the benefits from the<br />

initial phase where people are just<br />

searching for files digitally, but it also<br />

provides the depth to take advantage<br />

of more sophisticated ways of<br />

utilising information technology,<br />

like workflows and shared archives,<br />

when the organisation is ready,”<br />

explains Pereira.<br />

The leadership of the United<br />

Nations has announced plans to<br />

implement an overarching document<br />

management system in a top-down<br />

implementation, although this<br />

ambitious plan will take some time to<br />

complete. In the meantime, Pereira<br />

is glad that the three Convention<br />

Secretariats have found a solution<br />

like M-Files to help them improve<br />

their digital filing and document<br />

management processes now.<br />

“Under the auspices of this<br />

particular project, we have created<br />

a kind of UN office prototype<br />

with M-Files,” says Pereira. “Other<br />

UN locations without electronic<br />

document management in place<br />

have become very interested in what<br />

we’ve done, and many are currently<br />

looking into whether they will buy<br />

M-Files and adopt this management<br />

system for themselves.”<br />

Neopost output management<br />

Serving one purpose<br />

Neopost output management<br />

solutions are not just for the<br />

public <strong>sector</strong>. This statement<br />

reflects the size and diversity of<br />

a company that works across<br />

almost 100 countries to serve<br />

800,000 customers, many of<br />

which belong to the world’s most<br />

prestigious public and private<br />

<strong>sector</strong> bodies. The size and variety<br />

of its marketplace means that<br />

Neopost’s products need to be as<br />

diverse as the customers it serves,<br />

from small and medium-sized<br />

institutions up to very large and<br />

multinational organisations.<br />

To research, develop and deploy<br />

its range of output management<br />

solutions, Neopost relies on the latest<br />

Microsoft technologies such as:<br />

• Team Foundation Server 2010<br />

for project management, work<br />

item tracking and version control<br />

• Visual Studio 2010 for<br />

application design and<br />

development<br />

• .NET Framework 4.0 as a<br />

dependable platform<br />

• Windows Presentation<br />

Foundation for a flexible, stateof-the-art<br />

user experience<br />

• ADO.NET Entity Framework for<br />

object-oriented data access<br />

• Microsoft SQL Server as a rocksolid<br />

and high-performance<br />

database<br />

• Microsoft Windows XP SP3,<br />

Windows 7, Windows Server<br />

2003 and 2008.<br />

Neopost’s output management<br />

solutions can accept a multitude of<br />

input files, create documents from<br />

raw data, enhance pre-formatted<br />

layouts and consolidate letters<br />

to reduce the number of mailing<br />

pieces. They offer pre-sort to<br />

qualify for postal discounts, spool<br />

scheduling for optimised printing<br />

and can automate folding and<br />

inserting whilst ensuring mail piece<br />

and mail batch integrity.<br />

Police forces in many countries<br />

rely heavily on Neopost’s output<br />

management solutions. Besides the<br />

obvious benefits to them such as cost<br />

reduction, automation and enhanced<br />

quality, police departments, as well<br />

as other institutions under public<br />

scrutiny, they have a strong need<br />

for predictability and measurability<br />

in order to be able to prove, if<br />

necessary, that they have followed<br />

the correct procedures.<br />

Combining multiple proven<br />

Neopost technologies into an<br />

integrated output management<br />

solution allows police forces to be<br />

in total control of applications like<br />

the generation, production and<br />

distribution of speeding tickets<br />

while also being able to reduce<br />

costs significantly. Furthermore,<br />

Neopost’s solutions help with<br />

common problems like being able to<br />

prove that certain documents were<br />

sent at a certain time. The inability<br />

to prove this can pose serious risks<br />

in the areas of legal compliance, cash<br />

collection and reputation.<br />

A user of Neopost’s output<br />

management solutions might<br />

send anything from 50 envelopes<br />

each week up to several million<br />

documents per year. This means that<br />

any customer segmentation, other<br />

than one based solely on the number<br />

of documents mailed, cannot be<br />

made without excluding certain<br />

customer groups. Nevertheless,<br />

Neopost has successfully provided<br />

public <strong>sector</strong> bodies such as tax<br />

offices, police forces, social services,<br />

councils, schools and universities<br />

with state-of-the-art solutions.<br />

Neopost provides compact, easyto-use<br />

applications as well as flexible,<br />

state-of-the-art enterprise output<br />

management solutions, with both<br />

serving one purpose: increasing the<br />

value of mail while decreasing the<br />

costs associated with the generation,<br />

production and distribution of<br />

mission-critical documents.<br />

The National Board of Health<br />

Consolidating on<br />

Dynamics CRM<br />

The National Board of Health is<br />

the most important healthcare<br />

authority in Denmark and its<br />

task, in collaboration with policy<br />

makers, is to create the best<br />

possible healthcare conditions for<br />

treatment and prevention.<br />

Like many other institutions and<br />

companies, the Board of Health has,<br />

over many years, developed a range<br />

of administrative, filing and archival<br />

systems to support its many tasks.<br />

Many of these systems have become<br />

outdated with high maintenance<br />

costs and were difficult to adapt to<br />

new business regulations and laws.<br />

At the same time, there was a need<br />

for further integration with external<br />

systems and document management,<br />

which could not easily be achieved<br />

with the existing technology.<br />

“Microsoft Dynamics<br />

CRM/xRM offers a high<br />

degree of flexibility in its<br />

operations and integrates<br />

easily with other internal<br />

and external systems”<br />

The Board of Health chose to<br />

consolidate a series of systems with<br />

Microsoft Dynamics CRM / xRM<br />

as the central platform for many<br />

applications. The platform offers the<br />

healthcare authority a high-degree<br />

of flexibility in its operations and<br />

integrates easily with other internal<br />

and external systems. At the same<br />

time, the platform also provides<br />

a familiar and intuitive interface<br />

for users across the applications<br />

supported by the platform.<br />

There is a wide range of business<br />

areas to be taken care of:<br />

• The Board of Health’s<br />

institute for radiation<br />

safety: public inquiries,<br />

monitoring, requirements and<br />

announcements, transport, and<br />

personal dosimetry<br />

• Monitoring of nursing homes<br />

• Monitoring of cosmetic<br />

treatments providers<br />

• The inspector system –<br />

quality assurance of teaching<br />

departments for physicians<br />

• Integration to NaviStat,<br />

ScanJour, CPR, CVR and<br />

barcode scanners.<br />

The solution was implemented in<br />

close collaboration with public health<br />

officer institutions throughout the<br />

country and the Board of Health’s<br />

staff in Copenhagen. The solution is<br />

designed so that the workflows are<br />

collected and integrated with other<br />

business systems to ensure that master<br />

data is complete and correct, that it is<br />

correctly filed and that the financial<br />

transactions are reconciled with<br />

the financial systems. By collecting<br />

items in a user interface, individual<br />

caseworkers have a constant overview<br />

of their cases, and it is easy for<br />

management and secretaries to pull<br />

statistics and reports.<br />

The platform was set up and<br />

the first solutions released for use<br />

in just six months. New solutions<br />

have been released on a quarterly<br />

basis, and the list of possible usage<br />

scenarios is growing as users get to<br />

know the possibilities of the flexible<br />

and user-friendly platform.<br />

Israeli Procurement Authority<br />

Implementation success<br />

Netwise Applications (Netwise)<br />

has unique, extensive and<br />

practical experience in the<br />

field of e-government. Over<br />

the past 13 years, the company<br />

has successfully implemented<br />

e-government projects for<br />

numerous governments and<br />

ministries around the world<br />

focusing on Africa and Eastern<br />

Europe, as well as for the<br />

government of Israel. Netwise has<br />

vast experience and best practices<br />

in consulting, design and<br />

development and implementation<br />

of e-government solutions – from<br />

national strategic consulting<br />

to architecture and application<br />

development at national, regional<br />

and local government levels.<br />

Netwise recently developed a<br />

national e-tendering solution for<br />

the Israeli Procurement Authority.<br />

The original e-tenders Web portal<br />

was developed by Netwise in<br />

2005. All tenders issued by the<br />

Israeli Government or by ministries<br />

were stored on the portal and<br />

were available to citizens and<br />

businesses. The portal included<br />

an advanced search capability on<br />

tenders, allowing sort and filtering<br />

on search results. It provided access<br />

to additional data and documents<br />

attached to tenders and supported<br />

payment settlement for tenders<br />

using different methods including<br />

credit card, bank account/direct<br />

debit or other third-party accounts.<br />

The portal provided subscription to<br />

a newsletter mailing list – with the<br />

ability to enrol for a mailing service<br />

and receive updates regarding new<br />

tenders.<br />

In early 2010 a newly developed<br />

Israeli e-tenders portal code named<br />

‘Menora’ was released by Netwise.<br />

It was developed using Microsoft<br />

.NET technology and offers extra<br />

features including online suppliers<br />

registration; support of smart<br />

card authentication by suppliers;<br />

payment for registration and for<br />

tenders; management of suppliers<br />

history; ability for registered<br />

suppliers to submit their proposals<br />

online and to upload relevant<br />

tender documents; dashboards<br />

supporting tracking, logging and<br />

monitoring; and an online bidding<br />

system – a rule-based selection of<br />

preferred bids according to a set<br />

of pre-defined rules (for example<br />

lowest price).<br />

The reverse auction application<br />

enables government bodies to<br />

instantly define a new auction and<br />

publish it to suppliers by e-mail.<br />

The application is divided into<br />

two main parts: back office – the<br />

government side of the application<br />

and front office – the supplier’s side<br />

of the application.<br />

In the back office the<br />

government bodies define auctions<br />

including start and finish time,<br />

category and all items needed in<br />

the auction including quantity per<br />

item, and special needs. When the<br />

auction is ready, it is published to<br />

all relevant suppliers by e-mail. In<br />

the front office the supplier can<br />

view the open auctions, view the<br />

best offer (best price per condition)<br />

for a specific item in an auction and<br />

add bids to items in open auctions.<br />

When the supplier has already<br />

bid for an open auction, he can<br />

compare the best offer with his own<br />

offer. When the auction is closed,<br />

the government body can select the<br />

winning offer and then complete<br />

the purchase process. The winning<br />

offer doesn’t have to be the cheapest<br />

offer; the government body can add<br />

their own considerations and rules<br />

for choosing the winning bid.<br />

The application values achieved<br />

followed main themes in the<br />

procurement process: increasing<br />

transparency and preventing<br />

corruption; increasing quality and<br />

efficiency; building capacities;<br />

enhancing professionalism and<br />

integrity; saving overhead costs; and<br />

reducing average suppliers costs.<br />

‘Loja Do Cidadão’ citizen stores<br />

One stop shop<br />

for public service<br />

Created in 1999, the ‘Loja do<br />

Cidadão’ is the first step in the<br />

one stop shop concept for public<br />

service. This is a public utility<br />

service that seeks to promote the<br />

modernisation of public services<br />

that cater for the needs of citizens<br />

and businesses, enabling access to<br />

a wide range of public and private<br />

services (utilities) that coexist<br />

in the same physical space. The<br />

common areas and the network of<br />

‘Loja do Cidadão’ stores are run<br />

by the Agency for Administrative<br />

Modernisation (AMA).<br />

In April 1999 the first store<br />

opened. The high flow of customers<br />

led to the implementation of a space<br />

management and statistical analysis<br />

system in order to reduce service<br />

times. The solution would have to<br />

meet specific needs and restrictions<br />

inherent to each one of the entities<br />

located in this public service space,<br />

providing AMA with accurate<br />

statistics on each service provided,<br />

at each one of the entities and their<br />

services.<br />

On 17 December 2008, the<br />

second generation ‘Loja do<br />

Cidadão’ store was opened in<br />

Odivelas, Portugal, based on a new<br />

service philosophy. For these stores,<br />

it was necessary to get the services<br />

out to the main entities within the<br />

more decentralised populations,<br />

with a smaller investment in terms<br />

of infrastructure and equipment<br />

installed.<br />

Newvision developed two types<br />

of service solutions, fully adapted<br />

and custom made for each one of the<br />

shop types. In the first generation<br />

stores, the Inline distributed<br />

solution has been implemented,<br />

which is characterised mainly by<br />

the existence of a local server in<br />

each store, replicating data from<br />

this local server to a central server<br />

at the AMA headquarters. Therefore<br />

AMA can manage and analyse the<br />

behaviour of all the stores at any<br />

time, and make changes in real<br />

time. This approach ensures the<br />

functioning of the stores even if<br />

there are communication cuts with<br />

the central server.<br />

The Inline centralised solution<br />

was implemented in the secondgeneration<br />

stores. All stores are<br />

now connected to a single server,<br />

allowing better management and<br />

less expensive computer resources.<br />

In these stores, the queue ticket<br />

numbers are called out on large TFT<br />

screens. The solutions are managed<br />

by different levels of permission<br />

and access and adapted to the<br />

organisational model of the entity.<br />

In 2008, two new and innovative<br />

services were created: the ‘I Lost<br />

my Wallet’ desk and the ‘Multiservice’<br />

desk. The ‘I Lost my Wallet’<br />

desk offers an integrated service,<br />

combined in one service desk, with<br />

the opportunity to request duplicates<br />

of several personal documents. This<br />

represents fewer losses of time and<br />

greater comfort to citizens who will<br />

no longer have to wait in multiple<br />

queues, or move about from service<br />

to service. The ‘Multi-service’ desk<br />

provides a generalist multi-functional<br />

service, which allows users to carry<br />

out several services of a reduced level<br />

of expertise, in one place and with a<br />

single queue ticket.<br />

The ‘Loja do Cidadão’ stores<br />

continue to expand, with new<br />

facilities planned for 2011.<br />

Newvision continues to supply<br />

the Inline solution, providing<br />

consulting services, maintenance<br />

and support for all the hardware<br />

and software systems installed.<br />

Nexor Watchman<br />

A more complex data<br />

management landscape<br />

Designed for any organisation that<br />

values a high degree of security<br />

and confidentiality in information<br />

systems, Nexor Watchman for<br />

Microsoft Forefront Unified<br />

Access Gateway (UAG) offers an<br />

industrial-strength information<br />

assurance (IA) solution to<br />

secure information exchange<br />

requirements. First developed for<br />

the UK intelligence community<br />

in the 1990s, Nexor Watchman<br />

is a mature, robust and versatile<br />

technology that has formed part of<br />

Nexor’s high assurance guard and<br />

gateway products for several years<br />

and is now available as a plug-in<br />

to UAG.<br />

Microsoft Forefront UAG<br />

provides a general framework to<br />

allow authenticated remote clients<br />

to securely access application data<br />

behind a corporate firewall over a<br />

Web connection. UAG provides<br />

controlled access to the application<br />

Web pages that serve the requested<br />

data. Nexor Watchman for UAG<br />

enhances the security model by<br />

scanning data returned in a Web<br />

request to check it is conformant<br />

to a security policy. The returned<br />

content is checked to ensure that<br />

it does not contain any confidential<br />

material, thereby ensuring that the<br />

data being retrieved is authorised<br />

for viewing by remote clients.<br />

In the 21st century, public safety<br />

and national security organisations<br />

face unprecedented challenges<br />

from a range of new behavioural,<br />

procedural and environmental<br />

factors. Increased instances of<br />

data loss or leakage, greater<br />

demand for collaborative working,<br />

a growing trend for remote and<br />

mobile working and the rise in<br />

information being exchanged on<br />

a ‘responsibility to provide’ basis<br />

rather than a ‘need to know’ basis<br />

all contribute to a more complex<br />

data management landscape. This<br />

is all set against a backdrop of<br />

the ever-increasing threat of cyber<br />

warfare, as well as the heightened<br />

risk of physical terrorist attack.<br />

To increase the protection of data<br />

in this complex environment, there<br />

has been a rise in the importance of<br />

data classification and labelling and<br />

the implementation of IA measures<br />

to ensure the confidentiality, integrity<br />

and availability of that data. A plethora<br />

of technology solutions exists to<br />

manage data in the unclassified space,<br />

but technology aimed at the high<br />

Wayne State University<br />

Putting the<br />

pieces together<br />

With more than 1,000 medical<br />

students, Wayne State University<br />

(WSU) School of Medicine is<br />

one of the largest institutions<br />

of its kind in the United States.<br />

Together with its clinical partner,<br />

the Wayne State University<br />

Physician Group, the school<br />

is a leader in patient care and<br />

medical research in a number of<br />

areas, including cancer, genetics,<br />

neuroscience and women’s and<br />

children’s health.<br />

Wayne State University<br />

Physician Group members provide<br />

world-class medical care while<br />

conducting groundbreaking<br />

research and continuing education<br />

at one of the US’s top medical<br />

universities. Group members are<br />

recognised leaders in their chosen<br />

specialties. WSU Physician Group<br />

doctors are connected to thousands<br />

of nationally and internationally<br />

known researchers on the cutting<br />

edge of medical advancement.<br />

The main challenge for WSU<br />

was the consolidation of data<br />

from separate systems for different<br />

entities. The Physician Group,<br />

which recently converted to<br />

Microsoft Dynamics NAV from<br />

FundWare, has 16-20 departments,<br />

with up to 30 cost centres in<br />

each. The budgeting process<br />

within the University Physician<br />

Group involved a system of<br />

distributed Excel spreadsheets.<br />

“Each department would copy<br />

their individual spreadsheets, fill<br />

them out, and upload them back<br />

to the server to a common data<br />

source,” explains Kathy Borlas,<br />

associate director information<br />

systems, WSU School of Medicine.<br />

The School of Medicine, on the<br />

other hand, had the Banner suite<br />

of applications in place, which<br />

naturally promoted a different set<br />

of budget processes. Along with the<br />

requirement to establish a common<br />

set of processes, WSU needed to<br />

implement a budgeting solution<br />

to provide the functions that Excel<br />

and Banner did not offer.<br />

The main reason for selecting<br />

PROPHIX was the short<br />

implementation time frame.<br />

“We frequently had aggressive<br />

implementation schedules, so it<br />

was a relief that PROPHIX offered<br />

a realistic yet timely project plan,”<br />

explains Borlas.<br />

In choosing PROPHIX, WSU<br />

had a number of goals it wanted<br />

to achieve, including the ability<br />

to produce consolidated monthly<br />

financial reports in a timely fashion<br />

with multiple enterprise resource<br />

planning systems and chart of<br />

accounts and the ability to process<br />

intercompany eliminations.<br />

“PROPHIX really helped us<br />

enforce a uniform process<br />

that we never had before”<br />

WSU was in the middle of its<br />

first budget year with PROPHIX,<br />

yet already recognised that its<br />

processes have become more<br />

objective and quantifiable, and<br />

intercompany eliminations were<br />

easily implemented and managed.<br />

Borlas explains: “PROPHIX really<br />

helped us enforce a uniform<br />

process that we never had before.<br />

It allowed a consolidation across<br />

our entities, which we had in bits<br />

and pieces before but never in a<br />

uniform, well-understood manner.”<br />

The Danish Agency for Governmental Management<br />

Process Optimisation<br />

The Danish Agency for<br />

Governmental Management<br />

(DAGM) manages loans, grants<br />

and securities. Over time the<br />

agency has introduced new<br />

programmes with individual terms<br />

and conditions requiring specific<br />

workflows and procedures. DAGM<br />

had many systems to support these<br />

programmes, often leading to the<br />

introduction of manual routines,<br />

requiring substantial resources.<br />

Challenges<br />

DAGM wanted to establish a platform<br />

suitable for the implementation<br />

of various solutions, enabling it to<br />

align workflows and procedures.<br />

Furthermore, it was important to<br />

focus on reducing the processing<br />

time and to make it easy to maintain<br />

and implement new programmes.<br />

The key elements that the solution<br />

had to address were efficiency<br />

(reduce cost by 30 per cent, shorten<br />

processing time and handle high<br />

volume of transactions), governance<br />

(compliance, standardisation of work<br />

processes and the flexibility to handle<br />

the diversity of programmes) and<br />

maintenance (passing control back to<br />

the business – allowing case handlers<br />

to maintain processes without<br />

intervention from IT developers).<br />

Solution<br />

The solution unifies previously<br />

dispersed applications into one<br />

environment. The case management<br />

and business process management<br />

integration provides a unique approach<br />

to the core governmental task of<br />

managing funds from programme<br />

design through application process<br />

and repayment to settlement/expiry.<br />

With the Resultmaker Process<br />

Platform, the core, standardisation<br />

and automation of working processes<br />

across the administrative life cycle<br />

has become a reality. It can handle<br />

more than 500,000 transactions<br />

per month. The platform is featurerich<br />

software that offers tools for the<br />

design, development and deployment<br />

of solutions for automating business<br />

critical processes, offering a fast-paced<br />

prototyping approach. It is based<br />

on a process matrix concept for the<br />

management of complex and extensive<br />

processes. Microsoft BizTalk is used<br />

for automatic processes, while <strong>Public</strong><br />

360˚ (based on SharePoint) is used<br />

as the underlying electronic records<br />

management systems and supports<br />

international standards for document<br />

management. Excel deployed through<br />

Office SharePoint Server is used for<br />

design, maintenance and execution of<br />

algorithms, enabling the user to work<br />

within a familiar environment.<br />

The solution contains an<br />

advanced BAM module, which<br />

serves as an overview of key<br />

performance indicators (KPIs) on<br />

all organisational levels, and also<br />

handles resource management. The<br />

module prioritises the most critical<br />

tasks according to the predefined<br />

KPI targets. A self-service module is<br />

included enabling the customer to<br />

build programme-specific solutions<br />

for citizens and companies with full<br />

public key infrastructure support.<br />

Benefits<br />

The digitalisation and automation<br />

increases efficiency by reducing errors.<br />

Other benefits include shortened<br />

processing time, better utilisation<br />

of resources, increased traceability,<br />

compliance, and consistent service<br />

and quality. It provides an integrated<br />

self-service platform with flexibility<br />

in resource planning and less<br />

vulnerability to resource constraints.<br />

Business opportunities<br />

This product is applicable to<br />

organisations managing funds<br />

from application through lending<br />

to repayment and completion in<br />

high volume and complexity, which<br />

are also facing one or more of the<br />

following challenges: efficiency,<br />

compliance, documentation and<br />

traceability, resources and fulfilment<br />

of service goals.<br />

Urban Planning Authorities<br />

Planning for the future<br />

The Urban Planning Authorities<br />

in Greece are agencies hosted in<br />

local government offices all over<br />

the country and supervised by<br />

the Greek Ministry of Interior,<br />

Decentralisation and E-Government.<br />

Their responsibilities include<br />

management of all urban planning<br />

issues within their territory.<br />

They previously had complicated<br />

and heterogeneous processes,<br />

bureaucracy, the inability to offer<br />

accurate information and a lack of<br />

transparency in case management.<br />

An integrated information system<br />

for the automation and management<br />

of the Urban Planning Authorities’<br />

daily tasks was designed and<br />

implemented by SingularLogic.<br />

It was aimed at the simplification,<br />

homogenisation and automation<br />

of processes, transparency in daily<br />

operations, and the optimisation<br />

of service delivery to citizens and<br />

professionals.<br />

SingularLogic was selected due to<br />

its state-of-the-art technology solution,<br />

its capability to roll out successfully<br />

across the country and its business<br />

expertise. The information system<br />

covers three different areas, namely:<br />

E-CITY Planning I: an integrated<br />

document and workflow management<br />

system for managing the entire<br />

life cycle of the Urban Planning<br />

Authorities’ processes such as:<br />

protocol, building permits issuance,<br />

management of illegal building cases,<br />

business intelligence / management<br />

reporting.<br />

E-CITY Planning II: a central<br />

database hosting urban planning<br />

legislation data managed, coded and<br />

correlated for easy access and use.<br />

E-CITY Planning III: A<br />

geographic information system<br />

(GIS) with a spatial database<br />

including urban planning data (city<br />

blocks and zoning of land use).<br />

Portal: A single point of entry<br />

for offering sophisticated e-services<br />

to citizens and professionals (civil<br />

engineers and notaries).<br />

The system supports the daily<br />

tasks of more than 3,000 named users<br />

spread across 140 urban planning<br />

offices. Up to now it has managed 2.3<br />

million cases and issued about 87,000<br />

building permits.<br />

The Ssstem incorporates 210,000<br />

records of legislation acts related to<br />

urban planning; the GIS subsystem<br />

covers the entire Greek territory<br />

(150,000 city blocks, 450 urban area<br />

plans, and 65,000 map sheets).<br />

The software applications<br />

integrate all functionality provided<br />

by the Microsoft .NET Framework.<br />

The development tool used was<br />

Visual Studio .NET, while SQL<br />

Server data management software<br />

has been tightly integrated with the<br />

digital mapping system. The selected<br />

tools offered significant potential for<br />

the development of applications in a<br />

multi-tier Web-enabled architecture.<br />

The high quality and functionality<br />

offered by this software for<br />

deployment and production, as<br />

well as the integration of Microsoft<br />

technologies with other line-ofbusiness<br />

applications, ensured<br />

successful and timely delivery.<br />

For the state, results included timely<br />

delivery of information to citizens/<br />

professionals from one single point<br />

of entry; reduction of bureaucracy<br />

and foot fall in urban planning<br />

offices; elimination of operational<br />

costs, uniform processes and<br />

operational standards; transparency<br />

in the operation of Urban Planning<br />

Authorities, effective management tools<br />

to evaluate the efficiency of processes<br />

and generation of accurate, real-time<br />

statistic data to improve decision<br />

making and policy planning.<br />

For the citizens, results included<br />

transparent access to timely and<br />

accurate information through the<br />

Urban Planning Authorities portal,<br />

ability to conclude electronically<br />

all needed interactions with Urban<br />

Planning Authorities, easy search and<br />

retrieval of legislation information and<br />

access to urban planning information<br />

using geographical criteria.<br />

Danish Prison and Probation Service<br />

Skills for SCOM<br />

The availability of core competences<br />

is a key priority for the Danish<br />

Prison and Probation Service<br />

(DPPS). In addition to keeping<br />

the inmates in Danish prisons, the<br />

organisation supports their way out<br />

of crime. This has been done, for<br />

example, by setting up a separate<br />

computer network that provides<br />

inmates with an opportunity to be<br />

educated via the Internet. However,<br />

this has raised a number of issues<br />

regarding IT security.<br />

”We have been seriously<br />

concerned about how to manage<br />

surveillance of the new computer<br />

network alongside the existing one<br />

in DPPS. They cannot be mixed.<br />

Using the same technology to<br />

survey both networks is a huge<br />

advantage, because, in that case,<br />

we need only one set of skills to<br />

manage it,” says Henning Thomsen,<br />

chief of operations for DPPS.<br />

DPPS was dissatisfied with<br />

its existing surveillance system<br />

and therefore decided to switch<br />

to the Microsoft System Center<br />

Operations Manager (SCOM).<br />

The organisation already had a<br />

Microsoft platform and was about<br />

to implement the System Center<br />

Suite. However, none of the<br />

employees had sufficient experience<br />

with SCOM to themselves design a<br />

surveillance solution based on this<br />

technology. DPPS, therefore, turned<br />

to its long-term associate, solvo it, a<br />

specialist in the area.<br />

solvo it was asked to design a<br />

homogeneous solution to survey<br />

separate networks, integrating 600<br />

servers and 600 network units in 100<br />

different locations. solvo it was also<br />

asked to provide the necessary skills<br />

for SCOM to enable DPPS to manage<br />

surveillance itself from then on.<br />

For this purpose, solvo<br />

it analysed DPPS’s complex<br />

infrastructure, diverse workflows<br />

and likely development processes.<br />

Afterwards, the entire set-up was<br />

scaled and technology components<br />

and databases were selected. solvo<br />

it thus provided a tailor-made<br />

solution that perfectly suited the<br />

existing infrastructure and specific<br />

services of DPPS.<br />

In the communication between<br />

the two networks, the question of<br />

IT security was essential. The core of<br />

SCOM was configured and located<br />

in the old DPPS network. solvo it<br />

prohibited access from the old to<br />

the new network, while information<br />

concerning alarms and critical<br />

issues were designed to flow freely<br />

from the new network to the SCOM<br />

components. This made surveillance<br />

of the DPPS infrastructure both<br />

simple and secure.<br />

Finally, the entire SCOM solution<br />

was so flexibly designed that other<br />

networks can easily be integrated as<br />

DPPS expands in the future.<br />

Thomsen is very confident about<br />

the solution. Not only has solvo it<br />

succeeded in tailoring a well-sized,<br />

easily manageable and flexible<br />

solution and in transferring core<br />

competences regarding SCOM to<br />

DPPS, the solution also improves<br />

integration between the various<br />

products of the DPPS infrastructure<br />

and reduces surveillance costs.<br />

Thomsen also appreciates how<br />

easily knowledge of Microsoft<br />

technologies can be improved. “It<br />

is very easy to undertake further<br />

training with Microsoft. Solutions<br />

like our new SCOM one do not come<br />

out of the box. If you do not know<br />

how the technology works or how to<br />

configure it, it is not useful for you.<br />

Therefore, it is of great advantage that<br />

Microsoft technologies are always<br />

well supported with opportunities<br />

to pursue further education and<br />

develop new skills,” he concludes.<br />

Featuring end-to-end Azurebased<br />

Smooth Streaming video,<br />

integrated with Silverlight and<br />

Internet Information Services<br />

Media Services, this software-as-aservice<br />

concept is cost-efficient and<br />

simple to operate. State and local<br />

authorities can now communicate<br />

in a way that is both highly<br />

compelling and economically<br />

viable. Smooth streaming video,<br />

live or on demand, dramatically<br />

enhances an organisation’s ability<br />

to engage and connect with key<br />

target groups and a broader general<br />

public. This may be achieved via<br />

conventional Web sites or virally,<br />

through social media such as<br />

Facebook and Twitter.<br />

Online, on-demand and on-target<br />

The Silverlight-based player offers<br />

instant viewing. There is no need to<br />

download or install special software<br />

and no need to create special Web<br />

sites to broadcast meetings. Fully<br />

configurable and embeddable,<br />

Silverlight permits video channel<br />

insertion on any Web site. Just copy<br />

and paste the embed code supplied<br />

by the online video platform.<br />

Meetings can be displayed on<br />

a Web page, live or on-demand.<br />

Where appropriate, the process can<br />

be interactive, with participation via<br />

remote keypads. Constituents get<br />

to question – and receive answers<br />

from – their elected representatives.<br />

The agenda item, the name of the<br />

speaker, voting results – all can be<br />

added and synchronised during the<br />

meeting, in real time. And PowerPoint<br />

presentations can be displayed in<br />

parallel with the video broadcast.<br />

Viewers can link up to watch<br />

meetings anytime.<br />

Twents Carmel College<br />

A whole new world<br />

Colleges are feeling the<br />

impact of The New World of<br />

Work for The New World of<br />

Learning. This concept, initially<br />

introduced by Bill Gates, has<br />

required a major turnaround in<br />

thinking in education and ICT.<br />

Dutch ICT specialists Switch<br />

Computerisation deal with this<br />

on a daily basis. An example of<br />

this is in north-east Twente in the<br />

Netherlands, where six colleges<br />

are working on a state-of-the-art<br />

network after merging. ICT must<br />

be a certainty and simply work all<br />

the time. This is the one condition<br />

for the New World of Work and<br />

Learning.<br />

The Netherlands is one of<br />

the leaders in western Europe in<br />

the area of ICT. Switch realises<br />

major projects in this area in<br />

collaboration with Microsoft in<br />

two areas: education and health<br />

care. “The New World of Work<br />

necessitates a continuous flawless<br />

performance of ICT facilities,<br />

whether someone is working at<br />

home, while travelling, or in the<br />

office. Our promise to customers is<br />

that we ensure that it ‘just works’,”<br />

says Ludger Dusseldorp, education<br />

sales manager at Switch.<br />

After six colleges merged to<br />

become Twents Carmel College<br />

in north-east Twente, a central<br />

network was developed in early<br />

2011, through a public cloud so<br />

that students and tutors always<br />

have access to their secure work<br />

environment (Office 365) for<br />

e-mail, data storage and all live<br />

tools, wherever they are. While at<br />

college, they can also log in to a<br />

private cloud with more educational<br />

software that needs physical servers.<br />

Thanks to virtualisation (Hyper-V),<br />

investment in the number of<br />

servers could be limited. For the<br />

private cloud, an existing fibre-optic<br />

connection between the six locations<br />

in Oldenzaal, Losser and Denekamp<br />

was expanded into a ring.<br />

Now users no longer have<br />

to install their own software to<br />

be able to work anywhere with<br />

secure programs. The required<br />

applications can be pushed from<br />

the cloud to their workplace/<br />

endpoint device (App-V). And<br />

thanks to Microsoft Lync, optimal<br />

online collaboration has been<br />

simplified. Dusseldorp explains:<br />

“Pretty much all new technology<br />

has been used to give The New<br />

World of Learning optimum<br />

facilitation. Users don’t know what<br />

goes on behind the scenes, and<br />

they don’t need to know. They<br />

can simply continue to work in<br />

their secure work environment,<br />

always and everywhere.” And this<br />

is consistently secure, because it is<br />

also centrally regulated (Forefront).<br />

It’s not just students and tutors<br />

who benefit. Managing the network<br />

is also much simpler, more user<br />

friendly, and efficient. “In practice,<br />

this means the college can do<br />

more with less,” says Dusseldorp.<br />

“System managers can focus more<br />

on tactical support of education<br />

without getting inundated with<br />

technical issues. This is how<br />

it should be. Students have to<br />

learn, tutors have to teach, and<br />

ICT should help them as much<br />

as possible without too much<br />

distraction.” ICT is increasingly an<br />

integral part of their policy and is<br />

changing how education is viewed.<br />

Dusseldorp concludes: “Students<br />

are increasingly studying outside of<br />

the school building. This requires a<br />

new approach from colleges, and<br />

we are helping them make that<br />

change. Together we are preparing<br />

education for the future.”<br />

Housing Benefit Recovery System<br />

Balancing recovery with<br />

social responsibility<br />

The Housing Benefit Recovery<br />

System (HBRS) is a management<br />

tool designed to support<br />

local governments and their<br />

departmental teams to effectively<br />

process the recovery of housing<br />

benefit overpayments. The HBRS<br />

software, developed by TCS<br />

Computer Services, helps promote<br />

best practice in accordance with<br />

the Department of Work and<br />

Pensions (DWP) key performance<br />

indicators (KPIs). Its use can<br />

reduce costs, rebalance workloads<br />

and tackle capacity issues, assisting<br />

local councils to support their<br />

recovery teams in improving their<br />

performance and saving time.<br />

HBRS software features enable<br />

staff to process high case volumes<br />

efficiently with monitoring to ensure<br />

compliance with DWP KPIs. There are<br />

daily up-to-date lists of outstanding<br />

invoices for team members, a<br />

‘sweeper facility’ to ensure tasks don’t<br />

get lost by falling ‘out of sight’, plus<br />

automatic allocation of work across<br />

the recovery team, including those<br />

working from home. The system<br />

highlights open benefit cases to help<br />

speed ‘claw back’ set up and other<br />

features include automatic generation<br />

of documentation for County Court<br />

judgments, and a checklist of actions<br />

and their outcomes, which can be<br />

recorded against each invoice. It<br />

has search facilities to identify and<br />

prioritise both cases requiring similar<br />

action without paper reports and to<br />

highlight those cases involving fraud<br />

and administrative penalties. The<br />

system also includes management<br />

tools to analyse the effectiveness of<br />

different recovery action processes.<br />

HBRS is designed for local<br />

councils charged with, and measured<br />

by, the amount of housing benefit<br />

overpayments they can recover.<br />

the changes to the benefit system<br />

are introduced, there will be a large<br />

increase in recovery cases requiring<br />

prompt attention, often impeded<br />

by reduced staff levels and complex<br />

administrative functions.<br />

The HBRS system helps<br />

responsive recovery teams to manage<br />

peak workloads more efficiently<br />

and successfully, without the need<br />

to increase staff. This enables<br />

local authorities to swiftly recover<br />

overpayments and generate greater<br />

income, as well as reduce backlogs.<br />

HBRS is a desktop software<br />

application that can be virtualised<br />

using Microsoft App-V for ease of<br />

distribution, based on a SQL Server<br />

2008 database (also SQL Server<br />

2000 and 2005). It was developed<br />

using mainstream Microsoft .NET<br />

tools (a C#.NET Framework 2.0<br />

front end) and reporting utilises<br />

SQL Server Reporting Services or<br />

Crystal Enterprise and requires<br />

Word 2003 or later.<br />

HBRS helps local government<br />

recovery teams to manage their<br />

processes efficiently and deliver a<br />

measurable return on investment.<br />

The system can be installed and<br />

tested in six to eight days and<br />

training is minimal, due to the<br />

intuitive nature of the software.<br />

TCS offers a range of flexible<br />

commercial options including sitewide<br />

package licences with annual<br />

support, software package purchase<br />

or rental alternatives, plus bespoke<br />

enhancements to meet specific and<br />

varied departmental needs.<br />

HBRS can be configured to take<br />

data from any housing benefits<br />

system and has been successfully<br />

implemented by a number of local<br />

authorities and councils.<br />

The London Borough of Hackney<br />

The people’s choice<br />

The London Borough of Hackney<br />

is one of the most historic London<br />

boroughs and is a fundamental<br />

element to the success of the<br />

2012 Olympic Games: the media<br />

and broadcast centre and almost<br />

one-third of the 2012 games<br />

area are all based in Hackney.<br />

Hackney Council is working<br />

to provide significant lasting<br />

benefits including: better public<br />

transport; jobs for local people;<br />

work for local businesses; new<br />

and improved sports facilities;<br />

a better environment; more<br />

participation in sport, culture<br />

and the arts; and promotion of<br />

the borough as a destination for<br />

work, living and investment.<br />

The borough is a truly<br />

cosmopolitan region. It has a<br />

population of approximately<br />

216,000 of whom over 20 per cent<br />

are claiming council benefits of some<br />

kind and with an unemployment<br />

rate of nine per cent. In addition it<br />

has an annual income of circa £400<br />

million. To support the normal<br />

day-to-day citizen needs and the<br />

additional requirements of the<br />

forthcoming Olympics, Hackney<br />

required an efficient cost-effective<br />

citizen service solution.<br />

H a c k n e y h a d a l r e a d y<br />

implemented Microsoft Dynamics<br />

CRM as the core platform for its<br />

citizen service strategy, but in order<br />

to deliver the volume and quality of<br />

services expected a comprehensive<br />

call scripting solution that could<br />

be deployed quickly and easily,<br />

both internally and on the Web,<br />

was required. TKDialogs from<br />

Team Knowledge was chosen<br />

following a comprehensive tender<br />

process, including all of the<br />

possible alternatives. It was selected<br />

primarily for its ease and speed of<br />

development, which is typically six<br />

to seven times faster than coding.<br />

Other factors were the simplicity of<br />

the software deployment, reduced<br />

training requirements, ease of use<br />

and Team Knowledge’s experience<br />

with Microsoft and the public <strong>sector</strong>.<br />

TKDialogs provides call scripting<br />

and process automation through a<br />

single user interface across all of the<br />

council’s service delivery channels. It<br />

provides a common interface for its<br />

citizen-facing staff and public across<br />

a wide range of services, enabling<br />

enquiries to be resolved at the first<br />

point of contact. In the new contact<br />

centre, agents can handle even the<br />

most complex enquiries and service<br />

requests through TKDialogs scripts.<br />

Similarly, on the Web site, citizens<br />

are led through simple screens, which<br />

provide direct access to council<br />

services and interact seamlessly with<br />

Dynamics CRM to create service<br />

requests and appointments. The key<br />

business areas of waste, registrars and<br />

licensing have already been deployed<br />

with all other services soon to follow.<br />

“We have found TKDialogs to<br />

be much more than a call scripting<br />

tool,” says Alex Wilson, technical<br />

programme manager, London<br />

Borough of Hackney. “It has<br />

enabled us to very rapidly develop<br />

comprehensive citizen service<br />

applications based on Dynamics<br />

CRM. TKDialogs provides a<br />

common interface for our citizenfacing<br />

staff and public across a<br />

wide range of services, enabling<br />

enquiries to be handled at the first<br />

point of contact. The TKDialogs<br />

approach is an integral part of our<br />

citizen strategy and has enabled us<br />

to deliver our customer relationship<br />

management implementation<br />

project on time and within budget.”<br />

TKDialogs is a world leader in call<br />

scripting and process automation<br />

for Microsoft Dynamics CRM and<br />

SharePoint portal solutions. In<br />

addition it has the ability to access<br />

and utilise data from other systems<br />

to provide efficient and cost-effective<br />

citizen services.<br />

The London Borough<br />

of Hackney<br />

Solution: Browser-based call<br />

scripting and process automation<br />

Benefits: Majority of issues solved,<br />

at first point of contact, reduced<br />

time in transaction processing,<br />

increased staff productivity and<br />

improved citizen service<br />

molis vt Laboratory Management System<br />

A solution pioneer<br />

molis vt from vision4health is<br />

a newly developed laboratory<br />

software tool for diagnostic<br />

facilities in the health care system.<br />

As the pioneer of a new generation<br />

of management solutions, molis vt<br />

is based on modern technologies to<br />

meet the challenges of the rapidly<br />

changing laboratory market.<br />

Visionary Technology (vt) and a<br />

clear vision for a networked health<br />

care system form the basis of all<br />

developments. Thus, as an efficient<br />

diagnostic wide area network<br />

(DWAN) extending across locations,<br />

vision4health solutions connect<br />

various systems and facilitate the<br />

wireless integration of central and<br />

satellite laboratories, hospitals,<br />

special institutes, doctors in private<br />

practices and patients into general<br />

workflows. These workflows can be<br />

quickly defined and easily adapted<br />

to personal or workplace-specific<br />

conditions. With its intuitive infocard<br />

user interface, molis vt makes<br />

traditional laboratory software<br />

packages look obsolete, reduces the<br />

possibility of errors and speeds up<br />

work routines. Even the operation<br />

of different laboratories from a<br />

uniform system interface is no<br />

longer a challenge due to intelligent<br />

communications and control<br />

instruments. An adaptable structure<br />

for orders and patient cases, which<br />

fulfils the most demanding medical<br />

processes, builds the core of the<br />

laboratory software, as does flexible<br />

validation and a clear solution for<br />

the complexity of findings.<br />

As a solution that spans<br />

disciplines and fields, molis vt aims<br />

to meet the needs of laboratory and<br />

transfusion medicine, microbiology,<br />

transplantation medicine and<br />

pathology, which have their own<br />

specific medical and organisational<br />

requirements. Additional supporting<br />

functions include materials<br />

management, warehousing and<br />

resource planning; optimised<br />

scheduling; continuous certificationready<br />

quality management;<br />

dynamic data evaluation with<br />

business intelligence; and customer<br />

relationship management.<br />

Due to increasing centralisation<br />

and networking, the requirements<br />

in the laboratory market are also<br />

changing. On the one hand,<br />

corporate groups with hundreds of<br />

employees at distributed locations<br />

are emerging, requiring highly<br />

accessible IT solutions and the<br />

possibility of depicting extremely<br />

individualised workflows. On the<br />

other hand, specialised laboratories<br />

integrated into the hospital workflow<br />

have to offer their services more<br />

flexibly and be able to individually<br />

cater to customer needs.<br />

Challenges in the laboratory<br />

range from order acceptance<br />

and sample management to the<br />

logistics of lab results. The molis vt<br />

channel strategic online solution<br />

supplements molis vt in both ends<br />

of the process with order entry<br />

procedures and result reports. At<br />

the same time, it can be integrated<br />

into hospital and physician<br />

information systems or used as an<br />

independent referral and patient<br />

portal. With automatic bundling of<br />

test catalogues into an order form,<br />

molis vt channel optimises processes<br />

for senders like hospitals and, with<br />

its proactive control of flow of<br />

materials and external laboratory<br />

requests, creates new room to<br />

manoeuvre for laboratory operators.<br />

Benefits include one click<br />

technology that lowers installation and<br />

maintenance times, even when new<br />

locations are put into operation. The<br />

Windows Presentation Foundation<br />

and Silverlight-based infocard user<br />

interface can be used both on a<br />

client and in a browser. However the<br />

focus is on the process knowledge<br />

accumulated in the laboratory market<br />

over decades. If, for instance, an<br />

expired blood bank sample is scanned<br />

in, molis vt recommends the practical<br />

work step to dispose of the sample.<br />

In this way, optimised processes save<br />

time and money, avoid errors and<br />

provide better quality.<br />

Macedonian institutions<br />

A national system for<br />

interoperability<br />

Not so long ago Macedonian<br />

institutions were struggling<br />

with slow data entry and<br />

time-consuming information<br />

exchange practices using paper<br />

documentation transferred<br />

via couriers. Using separate<br />

databases in different government<br />

institutions, Macedonian citizens<br />

were forced to visit more than five<br />

institutions for paperwork, just to<br />

finish one administrative process.<br />

Following the example of the<br />

EU member countries, in 2009 the<br />

Macedonian Ministry of Information<br />

Society and Administration decided<br />

to establish a National Information<br />

System for Interoperability<br />

between information systems<br />

which exist within the Government<br />

institutions using a wide range of<br />

different technologies. Taking up<br />

the challenge, with its extensive<br />

background of interoperability<br />

t e c h n o l o g y i n t e g r a t i o n<br />

projects based on Microsoft<br />

BizTalk Server, Vista Group<br />

developed and implemented the<br />

Macedonian Information System<br />

for Interoperability in a period<br />

of just six months, making life<br />

easier for both the citizens and<br />

the institutions of the Republic of<br />

Macedonia.<br />

Microsoft BizTalk Server 2009,<br />

SQL Server 2008 and Windows<br />

Server 2008 form the basis of<br />

the solution The technology was<br />

chosen because the government<br />

had had positive experiences with<br />

Microsoft in the past and mapped<br />

well with the project’s objectives.<br />

The Interoperability System<br />

solution developed by Vista Group<br />

is based on a service-oriented<br />

architecture (SOA) infrastructure<br />

and designed to support the secure<br />

integration of processes and data<br />

within government agencies and<br />

related commercial enterprises<br />

to secure national information<br />

exchange.<br />

The first five institutions<br />

that took part in the National<br />

Interoperability System are the<br />

most important data providers in<br />

the country: Ministry of Internal<br />

Affairs, The Central Registry<br />

of R.Macedonia, Macedonian<br />

Customs, <strong>Public</strong> Revenue and<br />

Cadastre of R.Macedonia.<br />

According to Macedonian law,<br />

the data exchange between every<br />

national government institution<br />

will have to be done via this<br />

National Interoperability System,<br />

instead of bilateral communication<br />

channels that were used before.<br />

Communication and exchange of<br />

classified data was not possible<br />

in digital form, until the National<br />

Interoperability System was<br />

introduced by Vista Group.<br />

The Interoperability System<br />

Solution can deliver even greater<br />

business value by offering a<br />

coordinated approach that<br />

leverages deep business insight and<br />

governmental experience, as well as<br />

the company’s consulting expertise.<br />

Vista Group’s business software is<br />

designed to deliver real outcomes,<br />

with government-specific data and<br />

information models that can help<br />

speed time to value and reduce<br />

risk. This solution, built on the<br />

Microsoft .NET Framework, BizTalk<br />

Server technology and a SOA-based<br />

infrastructure can provide solutions<br />

that assist government agencies to<br />

make information-driven decisions<br />

as well as build, manage and<br />

leverage the data contained in the<br />

IT infrastructure.<br />

Oporto School of Engineering<br />

E-tendering benefits<br />

ISEP, Oporto School of<br />

Engineering, is a Portuguese<br />

public university founded in<br />

1852. Boasting a wide range of<br />

skill profiles and a pronounced<br />

commitment to the sustainable<br />

development of Portugal, ISEP has<br />

approximately 6,500 students,<br />

435 teachers and 135 support<br />

staff. It offers 22 undergraduate<br />

and Masters degrees.<br />

In order to fulfil the Portuguese<br />

rules of public contracting law,<br />

improve transparency and cost<br />

effectiveness for all contracting<br />

processes and expedite auditing<br />

on their procurement procedures,<br />

ISEP required the services of an<br />

e-tendering platform.<br />

The solution chosen was<br />

vortalGOV, which was created by<br />

Vortal in 2003. Built on a serviceoriented<br />

architecture for high<br />

productivity, performance and<br />

scalability vortalGOV is supported by<br />

a cloud-based e-tendering suite and<br />

an e-commerce suite offering specific<br />

services for suppliers, like market<br />

intelligence tools, sales support, and<br />

competitive testing. All this is based<br />

on an interoperable e-marketplace<br />

with mobility solutions.<br />

The Vortal team maintains a core<br />

system architecture using the latest<br />

technology to provide electronic<br />

services such as Microsoft SQL<br />

Server and BizTalk. Vortal’s data<br />

models and message formats are<br />

Pan-European <strong>Public</strong> Procurement<br />

Online compliant, respecting those<br />

standards defined by the European<br />

Committee for Standardization.<br />

Vortal was selected for its<br />

authentication, authorisation,<br />

encryption, identification with<br />

digital certificates, traceability and<br />

non-repudiation capacity, enabling<br />

the highest level of information<br />

confidentiality and security.<br />

Now ISEP can input tender<br />

d o c u m e n t s , c l a r i f i c a t i o n s ,<br />

messages and notifications to<br />

market operators, making bids<br />

electronically using Web-based<br />

technologies alone. The platform<br />

also supports dynamic negotiation<br />

with suppliers. Market operators<br />

simply need the Internet to receive<br />

notifications of tenders, according<br />

to business type. Then, they can<br />

download the procedures, ask for<br />

clarification and send proposals.<br />

Instead of mountains of paper, ISEP<br />

has all the proposals in electronic<br />

format. The platform is supported<br />

by an automatic, powerful, proposal<br />

analysis engine with different<br />

evaluation criteria and deviation<br />

analysis features to facilitate the<br />

process.<br />

The platform improves the<br />

dematerialisation, reorganisation and<br />

simplification of public procurement,<br />

enabling savings and profitability of<br />

human and financial resources, as<br />

well as improving the acceleration<br />

of compliance objectives. By using<br />

a unique network of suppliers<br />

competition is encouraged. The<br />

supply network was enlarged, with<br />

better results in terms of quality and<br />

savings in procurement processes.<br />

This diversification of suppliers<br />

also represented progress in the<br />

development of public institutions<br />

being more open, transparent, and<br />

interoperable, throughout their<br />

contraction process.<br />

Since implementation of<br />

vortalGOV, ISEP has launched 213<br />

procedures, which have generated<br />

1,192 proposals. The adoption of<br />

vortalGOV allowed ISEP to save<br />

around 18 per cent in these 213<br />

procedures, which represents<br />

€539,433.65 in awarded costs.<br />

Vortal is a government-tobusiness-to-business<br />

e-marketplace<br />

operator, serving more than 20,000<br />

companies on three continents and<br />

2,000 contracting authorities. Its<br />

mission is to help organisations<br />

buy better and sell more to achieve<br />

superior performance in a highly<br />

collaborative cloud-based platform.<br />

Founded in 2000, Vortal has offices<br />

in Portugal, Spain and UK, with a<br />

team of 120 people.<br />

ActiveDocs develops document automation and<br />

template management software solutions that<br />

reduce the risk, time and expense of creating<br />

documents. <strong>Public</strong> <strong>sector</strong> agencies in Finland and<br />

the Netherlands use the ActiveDocs Opus solution to<br />

create documents such as pension statements, letters,<br />

policies, eligibility rules and permits in less time than<br />

they could manually or with competing document<br />

preparation solutions.<br />

ActiveDocs is a Microsoft Gold Certified Partner,<br />

and ActiveDocs Opus is built on the Microsoft<br />

.NET Framework. <strong>Public</strong> agencies can easily<br />

integrate Opus document automation functions<br />

into Microsoft SharePoint portals, and save and<br />

manage documents in SharePoint repositories.<br />

Integration with SharePoint and other incumbent<br />

systems gives users access to updated content<br />

without time-intensive searches, cutting and pasting,<br />

or manual transcription. ActiveDocs workflows<br />

help eliminate variation between documents by<br />

automatically providing authors with updated<br />

information, reducing the risk of complaints or legal<br />

action. Central template storage and management<br />

ensures that templates remain current, accurate, and<br />

in compliance with regulations by enabling ‘one<br />

to many’ content changes (i.e. make one change to<br />

critical content like a legal clause and dynamically<br />

update that content in any linked templates.)<br />

Microsoft Citizen Service Platform approaches<br />

were also considered in the solution. This solution,<br />

Axcentro <strong>Public</strong> Service Solution, has been officially<br />

certified by Microsoft. Axcentro has introduced<br />

this solution in ministries, data centres and cities.<br />

The further development is constantly in close<br />

CEOS Technologies was established in 1998 by Ann<br />

Kleynhans to provide IT solutions to the corporate<br />

market. The company grew from strength to strength<br />

by expanding its product range to incorporate leading<br />

brand names.<br />

As any user will know, the purchase of equipment<br />

like a computer system is only the first of many steps<br />

on the path to mastering IT. Whether it is a desktop<br />

PC, notebook or server, a long road stretches ahead<br />

before eventual replacement.<br />

Beginning with installation, attachment of<br />

peripherals and network integration, there will<br />

come a time for hardware and software upgrades,<br />

replacement of consumables, system troubleshooting,<br />

maintenance, and probably also a need for repair.<br />

Network expansion can also be expected. CEOS<br />

Technologies aims to provide comprehensive<br />

information technology services, from software<br />

development through to electronic engineering. We<br />

provide you with seamless support and cost-effective<br />

solutions every step of the way.<br />

Our core focus is to provide the most appropriate<br />

solutions through world-class products. We keep a<br />

balance between price and performance, by providing<br />

workstations as well as a complete network rollout<br />

with all its components. We keep up to date with the<br />

latest technologies, and have the ability to supply any<br />

mainstream hardware and software.<br />

Induct AS has developed an innovation management<br />

solution that allows organisations to gradually transition<br />

to a more open innovation environment. This means<br />

that organisations can achieve end-to-end innovation<br />

by getting every employee involved in submitting<br />

new ideas and challenges. In addition, to the extent<br />

desired, companies can use Induct’s virtual innovation<br />

communities to quickly and easily reach out to external<br />

stakeholders and capture their input as well.<br />

Induct was developed from conception to be a<br />

true 100 per cent Web-based software-as-a-service<br />

platform, meaning that there is no hardware to buy,<br />

and no software to install, backup, or maintain.<br />

Induct’s virtual innovation communities can be<br />

accessed and used from anywhere in the world<br />

through a standard Web browser. Enterprises<br />

can choose to limit the access to Induct based on<br />

username and password pairs or IP addresses.<br />

Induct supports single-sign-on, so organisations<br />

can maintain their own user database, i.e. through<br />

industry standard models such as Active Directory.<br />

With a click of the mouse, Induct’s entire idea<br />

and/or challenges portfolio, and all associated<br />

system information, can be exported to Microsoft<br />

Excel. In addition, each individual idea or challenge<br />

can be exported to Microsoft Word, including all<br />

collaborative innovation documents.<br />

From 1997, InduSoft has been creating SCADA/HMI<br />

software with one important goal in mind – the freedom<br />

to develop an application once, and then deploy it<br />

to any Microsoft device. Now, over a decade later,<br />

InduSoft has come further than ever with the release<br />

of InduSoft Web Studio v7.0. This powerful SCADA/<br />

HMI development environment continues to evolve<br />

the already comprehensive offering with rich graphical<br />

capabilities, alarms (both online and historical), trends<br />

(both online and historical), scheduler, reports, scripting<br />

(both InduSoft scripting and Visual Basic Scripting),<br />

communication drivers, OPC (DA, HDA, UA, and Xi),<br />

Web capability (including remote operations via the<br />

Web), database interface using SQL commands, and<br />

remote management capability.<br />

With these new advancements, it should come as<br />

no surprise that InduSoft Web Studio has added three<br />

new awards for 2010 to an already impressive track<br />

record. InduSoft accepted two Frost and Sullivan<br />

awards for World HMI/SCADA Software Product<br />

Differentiation Excellence and Global Web-Based<br />

Human Interface Customer Value Enhancement and<br />

Control Engineering Engineer’s Choice award.<br />

InduSoft is continuously innovating and working<br />

towards creating better HMI/SCADA software for<br />

users. With a strong product line and the enthusiasm<br />

of users, InduSoft will continue to release revolutionary<br />

new tools for supervision of automated processes.<br />

We help our customers to optimise their business<br />

control in two ways:<br />

1. Financial control<br />

2. Operational control.<br />

To achieve these results we utilise our software<br />

platform, InfoWeaver QMO, which is a flexible<br />

business optimisation platform that utilises Microsoft<br />

components.<br />

With this as a base, we help our customers to<br />

develop their business control by creating a stronger<br />

common ‘red thread’ through their business, between<br />

financial control and the different operational parts<br />

of the organisation. A stronger ‘red thread’ improves<br />

common business understanding, stimulates ideas<br />

and thereby dramatically increases internal efficiency.<br />

for example banking and finance, real estate, industry,<br />

distribution, FMCG, health care and government. Our<br />

customers are large businesses with high complexity<br />

drive improvements in business performance. Our<br />

services aimed at this goal include:<br />

consulting<br />

The IT requirements in each company vary<br />

greatly: A must-have application for one user can<br />

be insignificant for another one who requires a<br />

completely different application. Over the years, this<br />

fact often created a real software licence jungle in<br />

many companies.<br />

For every company that relies heavily on IT, wellselected<br />

licence management is a significant matter<br />

for all decision makers.<br />

Are you asking yourself the following questions:<br />

• Which is the optimum licensing for my company?<br />

• How can I ensure transparency over all licences?<br />

• Which licences are really in use?<br />

• How can I reduce administration and cost?<br />

As a partner, independent from manufacturers, we<br />

can advise you on the optimal products to cover<br />

your individual requirements. The knowledge of our<br />

certified specialists will bring transparency to your<br />

licence management. We shall be pleased to give<br />

Hospital Customer Relationship Management<br />

(HCRM) is a new management software for<br />

hospitals and health clinics. The product is the first<br />

application with multiple schedulers integrated inside<br />

Microsoft Dynamics CRM that is able to completely<br />

manage patients and therapy courses, streamlining<br />

and improving efficiency of the whole patient<br />

management system, the therapy courses and the<br />

clinic.<br />

In addition to the main features of a health industry<br />

software, HCRM has six strengths that make it<br />

unique:<br />

• The mathematical algorithm<br />

• The medical record that shows medical history,<br />

examinations and treatments<br />

• Complete management of outpatient visits and the<br />

printing of prescriptions<br />

• Integration with Microsoft Dynamics CRM<br />

• The chance to use a touch-screen monitor, meaning<br />

staff do not have to use paper during a patient’s<br />

visits<br />

• The chance to rent software instead of buying it<br />

thanks to the software-as-a-service option.<br />

Furthermore the digital signage system connected<br />

to the back-end, arranges patients’ calls, and allows<br />

medical staff to close a visit directly: a procedure that<br />

saves time and improve efficiency of all staff jobs.<br />

solutions based on the Microsoft Office SharePoint<br />

Server platform. Based on its knowledge in the<br />

area of enterprise content management (ECM) and<br />

the knowledge of the different market segments,<br />

ShareOne has invested in re-usable (software)<br />

solutions based on SharePoint; they are called the<br />

ShareOne Business Solution.<br />

From our point of view, knowledge of the<br />

area of information management is a necessary<br />

component for a successful implementation. Other<br />

prerequisites are knowledge of the customer (their<br />

jargon, processes and context) and knowledge of<br />

the platform being used (SharePoint). Openness<br />

and involvement of our organisation and continuing<br />

commitment from the management complete this and<br />

guarantee successful projects.<br />

ShareOne has confirmed that it can develop, deliver<br />

and maintain solutions in the areas of e-business,<br />

modern information management (enterprise<br />

information management) and end-user tailored<br />

portal solutions. Using SharePoint lays the foundation<br />

for an excellent company-wide ECM/document<br />

management solution.<br />

Team Knowledge Ltd specialises in helping public<br />

bodies automate and deliver their citizen services.<br />

Our aim is to resolve citizen requests at the first point<br />

of contact, and if this is not possible, ensure that all<br />

the required data is captured correctly first time, thus<br />

making business processes as cost and time efficient<br />

as possible.<br />

The most important element of citizen service is the<br />

citizen interaction; service staff must deal with the<br />

emotions of the citizen and not be concerned about<br />

the requirements of a complex computer system. In<br />

order to achieve this we deliver easy to use solutions<br />

that require minimum training and can be deployed<br />

both on the Web and internally.<br />

Our solution, TKDialogs, includes an easy to use<br />

graphical development tool for non-coders; this tool<br />

automatically generates browser-based user screens<br />

and can also create documents and send e-mails.<br />

TKDialogs integrates seamlessly with Microsoft<br />
