Customer
Information Analytical Center (IAC) is a government agency that provides IT and analytical services and support for the St. Petersburg city government.
Challenge
The main goal of the One Window program (an online service provided by the St. Petersburg city government implemented as part of the e-Russia and e-Government programs) is to increase the accessibility of various government services (e.g., applying for social security payments). If a citizen needs to obtain certain services, they can access them online, instead of having to physically visit a number of government offices, which has been the case in the past. The One Window service is the online back-office of this multifunctional center, and all the provided state services may also be applied for online.
Solution
After conducting an extensive investigation of the existing (unfinished) application, and performing business analysis, First Line offered the concept and the architecture for the service delivery platform based on the IBM WebSphere SOA stack. Based on the existing government regulations, our team created the Business Process Model, which further produced Service Component Architecture, BPEL processes, Canonical data model, WSDL contracts, manual tasks (TEL), and business rules. Due to the highly specific domain, web services invocation heavily utilizes digital signature technologies and data encryption using CryptoPro JCP. The user interfaces part is built on top of the WebSphere portal utilizing a number of pre-developed standardized blocks. This highly modular approach ensures that the customer will be able to accommodate future legislation changes utilizing only the WebSphere modeling toolset (without involving software developers). First Line’s responsibilities on the project include business analysis, development, testing, technical support, integration with government agencies’ databases, and training for the customer’s employees (test engineers and developers).
