A government agency deploys Web 2.0 technologies including enterprise mashups to over 1 million citizens, increasing self-service capabilities, improving quality of service, and reducing development and deployment costs.
Mashups have been identified by the Gartner Group as one of the top ten technology trends for 2008 and enterprise mashups can give federal, state and local governments a new means to serve citizens and their workforce.
Examples of mashups in action in government today include:
- Next-Generation Applications. New ‘Web 2.0-like’ application requirements are being met with enterprise mashups in lieu of traditional, HTML-based web portal software, resulting in faster development and a rich, interactive, user-driven experience.
- User-Defined Operational Picture (UDOP) and (COP) Common Operating Picture. UDOP and COP based upon enterprise mashups provide users and decision-makers with near real-time situational awareness of their respective operating environments like network and information security, all-source intelligence, command and control.
- Putting a Web 2.0 ‘face’ on Service-Oriented-Architecture. Enterprise mashups provide an agile, rapid development platform to visually consume and compose SOA web services to meet information requirements.
JackBe’s enterprise mashup platform, Presto, is helping government agencies today meet their citizen- and warfighter-focused requirements to speed analysis and discover actionable information in enterprise data.
