What is Current Environment of Governments
IBM's government customers are facing enormous challenges to deliver more
convenient services 24 hours a day, seven days a week. In addition, there are
many new complex public policy issues like security, privacy, and taxation
appearing on the Web.
Citizens are increasingly becoming Web savvy and expect the same level of
service and access to information from governmental entities as they receive from
private sector retailers. Governments must:
Improve citizen access to critical knowledge through Web-based information
delivery
Provide better, faster service with collaboration tools that allow service
representatives to walk citizens through complex online transactions
Increase customer responsiveness by providing constituents with a self-service
model for routine tasks, enabling employees to focus on critical issues
Offer citizens a single, cohesive view of government that requires no
understanding of complex agency infrastructures

Miami-Dade County
Challenge: To make its services more accessible and
convenient to citizens and businesses while lowering
operating costs.
Results: Benefits included a 50 percent increase in the
number of overall portal visits; an average reduction of
more than 25% in systems management costs; and
faster detection and resolution of systems problems,

2010 World Cup Futbol Games –
Gauteng Province, South Africa
CHALLENGE
In the event of a large-scale emergency, the Virtual Ops Center (VOC)
Solution was installed in the new, state of the art Disaster Management
Center to coordinate police, firefighters, emergency medical services and
government agencies, across the South African Province of Gauteng, in
the fastest and most effective response possible. The existing
communication systems lacked integrative and collaborative capabilities,
requiring personnel to make numerous phone calls to convey critical
information.
SOLUTION
VOC Solution is positioned for more effective emergency response with a
resilient communications network that people can count on even when
power and phone lines are inoperative. Implemented by IBM, the fully
integrated, wireless rapid response solution enables seamless
interoperability and data exchange, allowing VOC to instantly deliver
critical information to responders across the region.
BENEFITS
40 -65% responder productivity increase expected during emergencies
Greater public safety
Multidisciplinary integration serves as a model nationwide

UK Land Registry – Portal on zOS
Business need
The Land Registry has undertaken a major initiative to
change the property transaction process in England and
Wales. Historically, the conveyance process has been
highly manual and paper-intensive. Paper documents were
transferred directly between conveyancers and mortgage
lenders, resulting in a loss of clarity as to what tasks in the
transaction had been completed.
Solution implementation
The Land Registry adopted IBM WebSphere Portal Enable
middleware running on the IBM z/OS operating platform to
serve as the backbone of its new conveyance processes,
allowing partners to test connectivity to the new system and
its authentication mechanism. The portal system will host
the Land Registry's corporate Web site, beginning in 2007
and is support ingvarious applications through portlets,
including a Chain Matrix application through which
authorized users can view the status of property
transactions in which they are involved
Benefit of the solution
The Land Registry anticipates that the solution will shorten
its time to market for new products, improve availability and
streamline its internal and external business processes. The
WebSphere middleware offers a secure, flexible framework
for the organization's new user-based services while
utilizing Land Registry's existing framework
