• Implement in pieces
• With no risk of incompatibility
• Incorporate International Best Practices
• Exploit principle of Reusability
• Secure the investments in e-Gov infrastructure
• Achieve efficiencies in deployment of resources

What are Open Standards?

• Open Standards are technology specifications
• developed collaboratively
• followed universally
• address common requirements and goals
• relate to
• product stacks products
• components
• interfaces and protocols
• Open Standards are promoted by Standards
  Organizations like IETF W3C
• Variants are
• Industry de facto Standards
• Government Standards

18
Understanding Open Standards

• Open Standards are like the traffic rules
• Help streamline traffic flow
• Provide higher value addition to society as more
  people follow them
• Need a system of traffic signals policing
• Open Standards
• Define the technical specifications
• Provide open access to the standards
• Define the standards setting process

19
Why Open Standards?(1)

• Optimize options of products components
• Multiple vendors offering the same interfaces
• Mix Match possible due to Hot Swappability
• Choices can be made incrementally
• Reduce Risk
• Vendor independence
• Assurance of continued support in future
• Reduced Cost
• Lower costs due to competition
• Reduced cost of changing products/vendors
• Increased ROI
• Shorter learning curve for developers,
  maintenance staff

20
Why Open Standards?(2)

• Inter-operability
• Components with standard interfaces
• Simpler quicker integration
• Integration across the entire chain
• of internal departments
• external entities, customers, departments
• Higher Quality resulting from
• Open competition
• Broader participation of peer groups
• Early identification resolution of bugs
