The SOA Difference
As government strives to achieve its mission of effective service delivery, technology plays a vital role in sharing data and processes across programs, agencies and organisations, introducing new services, and meeting new policy and citizen requirements. It is widely recognized that the interoperability and inherent re-use in a Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) environment delivers significant benefits to organisations including: reduced integration expense, increased asset reuse, increased organisational agility, reduced organisational risk and reduced vendor lock-in.
Putting SOA to Work for Government
Realizing the benefits SOA-compliant solutions would provide government customers, Lagan designed its Enterprise Case Management (ECM) product suite from the ground up to embrace the core principles of SOA. Based on its deep understanding of the government market and work with more than 160 government organisations, Lagan believes that only a SOA-compliant solution can deliver the scalability, flexibility and interoperability today's government agencies require. With Lagan ECM government agencies can:
- Future-proof their service delivery model
- Support business-user configuration
- Embed specific knowledge in the application
- Reduce deployment and training time
- Integrate with existing enterprise infrastructure
- Support an incremental system rollout
Far from just a framework to support SOA, Lagan applies the key SOA principles to its Government to People Platform, Lagan G2PP, and builds applications for specific government verticals which business users can use out-of-the-box or configure and extend to meet their needs. Lagan understands the constant pressure and scrutiny government is under and has leveraged the power of SOA to uniquely address these fundamental challenges.

Advanced Security Measures
In addition to supporting the key SOA principles, Lagan incorporates advanced security measures that specifically address the sensitive nature of the data ECM systems process and store. To that end, all Lagan G2PP functionality is accessed through a security layer. This secure architecture prevents security breaches by ensuring that any data is accessed through the layer and the applications built on top of the foundation remain protected.
