Europe-wide application integration

As Europe becomes increasingly unified, government agencies and public-sector organizations are cooperating more closely – at both national and international level. But to collaborate smoothly, they have to integrate heterogeneous IT applications. T-Systems offers a solution that does just that.

and -security requirements. But individual government agencies deploy very different systems and apps, sometimes with widely divergent technology. And this poses major challenges. That’s where Enterprise Application Integration ( EAIEAI (= Enterprise Application Integration)

) comes in: EAI leaves the actual applications unchanged, but makes their data available to other software and its users.

T-Systems offers an EAI solution tailored to the particular needs of the public sector. The Interface Manager delivers adapters and specialized modules that support key e-government standards, enabling organizations to quickly and securely call up information from external sources. What’s more, the solution allows government agencies to grant specific partners controlled access to selected information.
