  1. Paul Farrell (CRO)John Murray (ERS) Stefan Ellström (Bolagsverket) Branch Discovery Service Branch Discovery Service

  2. Agenda • EU Branch Directive Pilot (11th) • Application in Production • What now? • BRITE • User experiences Branch Discovery Service

  3. A little history... • Problem was aired at ECRF 2004 • Cooperation between the CRO, Dublin & Companies House, UK • Early warning system for a ‘host’ registration authority on changes in the ‘home’ registration. • Prototype application • Simple design Branch Discovery Service

  6. Deployment • Web services based • Secure – SSL • Digital certificates issued to all participants • Central server hosted by CRO • Directory of Registers Branch Discovery Service

  8. Deployment Branch Discovery Service

  9. BRC, Norway Integration Branch Discovery Service

  10. BOLS approach • Bolagsverket’s IT environment based on - Unisys mainframe - Java / J2EE (mostly for integration) • Design and implementation based on 4 use cases : - watch Interreg status on parent companies - subscribe for status changes - alert case holders - transfer status of subscribed Swedish companies Branch Discovery Service

  11. BOLS Interreg integration Branch Discovery Service

  12. BOLS user interface Branch Discovery Service

  13. User Experiences - BOLS • Using Web Services is easy (maybe easier than internal integrations). • Automatic interface generation (WSDL deployed) makes coding faster • Branch discovery application is small and light – makes it easy to use • Good security level Branch Discovery Service

  14. User Experiences – BOLS cont. • The internal information handling and process definitions can be complex, for instance:- translation of a company’s ‘status’ - what process should a liquidation start ?- “invalid” values (eg. misspellings) in the BR register of other registers Branch Discovery Service

  15. User Experiences – BOLS cont #2. • We didn’t expect any technical problems in integration -– and we didn’t get any either !( in two days, the communication was established). • Success factors: - possibility to integrate to legacy systems - identification of parental company - decisions of how status changes should be handled Branch Discovery Service
