Government of Ireland has released new summary report as a joint venture
between the Office of the Government Chief Information Officer and
Microsoft Ireland, published on July 5.
The report focuses on Ireland's
ambitions to become a leader in the provision of digital government
services, formulating a blueprint for fostering progress and positive
transformation.
One of the key ICT-related recommendations was to explore the
opportunity to create a production pilot between two government systems,
using Cybernetica UXP technology for the proof-of-concept. UXP is the
core technology for the Estonian X-Road data exchange platform which has
been the foundation of the Estonian e-government since 2001, and has
been implemented in several countries across the world to provide a
scalable and resilient solution for data integration with transparent
auditability.
Microsoft and Cybernetica launched their strategic partnership earlier
this year, when UXP was made available at the Microsoft Azure
Marketplace. "UXP has proven its worth as a secure and scalable national
data integration model already in several countires with very distinct
needs," says Riho Kurg, Head of UXP at Cybernetica. "We are glad to be a
distinguished part of the report and are very excited to see where this
journey takes Ireland," Kurg adds.
The Summary Report "Enabling Digital Ireland" was a joint effort of the
Government of Ireland and Microsoft Ireland, published in July 2018. The
