IONA in Government

Today, government IT departments are being asked to make revolutionary improvements with only incremental increases in budget. Existing legacy infrastructure is becoming more and more expensive to maintain as it approaches obsolescence. To take advantage of new functionality, government IT is driven toward leveraging commercial applications which often creates new integration problems when deployed within an existing IT environment.

To deliver services to citizens, federal agencies, state/local governments, businesses and non-governmental organizations, government agencies need to:

  • Rollout new services to citizens while delivering a consistent experience across multiple delivery channels
  • Add new services and delivery channels while maintaining high levels of security
  • Leverage existing infrastructure while avoiding spaghetti integration and vendor lock-in

Since 1995 IONA has served federal, state, and local government agencies around the world with its standards-based products in support of highly secure, mission-critical applications and systems. IONA's proven integration and interoperability solutions help agencies reduce operational costs, comply with legislative mandates and increase operational efficiency while leveraging existing systems.

IONA's approach to building a services-oriented architecture (SOA) lets governments leave existing infrastructure in place. By installing IONA's lightweight, distributed enterprise service bus (ESB), Artix ESB on the endpoints, governments can realize the benefits of a scalable network without a centralized hub. This reduces operating costs and helps governments create an agile IT environment. Working with IONA, governments can lower operating costs by reducing employee, hardware and software requirements, create and bring new services on line more quickly, and use SOA principles to streamline and modernize IT environments.

IONA's technology drives complex systems in government including:

  • Intelligent transportation systems
  • Command, control and intelligence applications
  • Criminal justice systems
  • Satellite-based communications
  • Imagery and geospatial systems

Catch errors in integrated government applications earlier by safely testing individual services before deployment. The Interface Simulation and Testing Framework (ISTF) simulates the interfaces of services for simplified testing to dramatically reduced the time, effort and costs of application development.
