Interoperability e-Government

• Lisbon declaration September 07 The main
  objectives of the Ministerial Declaration are
  interoperability among Member States and
  reduction of administrative bureaucracy
• UN Development Program
• Interoperability provides one-stop comprehensive
  services to citizens and businesses increasing
  the ease at which information is shared among
  individual agencies.
• e-Government interoperability can be achieved
  through the adoption of standards and through
  architecture either enterprise-wide or
  service-oriented.
• A Government (or National) Interoperability
  Framework (GIF) is a set of standards and
  policies that a government uses to specify the
  preferred way that its agencies, citizens, and
  partners should interact with each other.
• An Enterprise Architecture (EA) is a strategic
  planning framework that relates and aligns ICT
  with the governmental functions that it supports.
  
• The GIF is like a building code while the EA is
  like a town plan.

SPC The state of play

• State of the art and target reached
• First release of framework services has already
  been delivered
• On central government, we save 65M (for year)
  thanks to the legal framework and network
  interoperability services
• We save every year a lot of money for the
  e-paycheck instead of paper circulation tanks to
  the Personnel Metadirectory
• ICT sectors partecipate at the standard
  definitions and enjoy the initiatives
• Some big national tenders give to the
  administrations services SPC compliant (from
  network services to WS applications)
• The most recent law decrees, issued by the
  Ministers of Health, Employment, Interior,
  Finance, regarding various central and local
  administrations adopted SPC

• Next releases
• New version of framework services will be
  delivered within next summer
• Under the name ICAR, 17 of 21 Italian Regions
  are deploying SPC at local level in 10 different
  tasks. Two of them will contribute to define next
  standarts specifications and related compliance
  for SPC itself.
