  1. eGov Strategies Establishing a National Service Oriented eBusiness and eGovernment Infrastructure OASIS Symposium 2007 "eBusiness and Open Standards: Understanding the Facts, Fiction, and Future" 15-20 April 2007 San Diego, California

  2. Who is he? Soren Stauning, 33 y National IT and Telecom Agency of Denmark MA/Political science – a generalist among tech specialists

  3. E-gov in Denmark – the facts: • Denmark is a small country: 5 M (like Tennessee) – DK:US ratio 1:65 • - public country: 36% employed in the public sector • - with small businesses: 400.000 companies, 250.000 SME’s • - decentralized: 5 autonomous regions and 98 municipalities w/ own local government and administration • But the same challenges as (many) bigger countries: • No central “enterprise” architecture or coordination • No consolidated IT-procurement • Fragmented use of IT-standards, SOA and general infrastructure • A very complex public sector with very bureaucratic processes. • Impending crisis: Ageing population, fewer hands

  4. Frequency Processes Source: (DA) Digital kommunikation i den offentlige sektor 2007. Rambøll Management for the National IT and Telecom Agency Past digitization strategiesdo not scale! 50% of the volume

  5. All new strategies can compete with current course & speed on financial terms … Current course & speed One vendor Open SOA World class ”Hub & Spoke” EDI 1,037 1,465 1,209 1,522 1,469 1,469 Savings, $ M 2007 - 2010 Investment, $ M 2007-2008 -142 -71 -54 -98 -72 -72 Investment in % of savings 14% 5% 4% 6% 5% 5%

  6. …so the ”soft values” tip the balance: • Open SOA: Openness and independency • Open standards and free vendor choice • Low transaction costs for the individual • - effect on use • Best of two worlds • ”Politically correct” • Allows saving by centralization • Conducive to competition • Small vendors can join in – and open source • Shorter time span from development to operation of cross-public services • State of the art SOA • Opportunity for Danish IT companies to deploy SOA hands-on • à Open SOA will become a foundation for innovation in the public sector

  7. Value of IT standards and infrastructure – simplified and explained in a nutshell

  8. 100% 100% 100% 100% 99% 99% 97% 95% 80% 60% 40% 41% 20% 22% 19% 18% 12% 0% All (10-19) (20-49) (50-99) (100+) Public companies authorities EDI Internet Number of employees Source: Informationssamfundet Danmark 2004, Danish statistics 2004 EDI is a substantial barrier

  9. But why are the SME’s important?(it’s about lowering the barriers for participation, not ignoring the SME’s) Distribution of transaction volume for companies between 10 and 99 employees. (Total volume is 191 million orders and invoices)

  10. 9.7.1 ”E-invoice via Internet” The political agenda: ”A national Internet based infrastructure will be established to make it possible for companies to exchange business documents (e.g. electronic invoices) in a simple, inexpensive and secure way. The infrastructure must be built in open collaboration with private IT-suppliers and be ready for use in 2007. Exchanging a business document should be as simple as sending an email.” (Part of Prime minister led national globalization strategy)

  11. Our means A National Service Oriented Infrastructure

  12. Infrastructure strategy • Technical • National authoritative service registry • Single sign on components and security token services • Standardization of web service profiles • Development of OSS toolkits which supports the profiles • Reference implementation • Organizational • Public sector as an engine • Take advantage of the current window of opportunity • Legal / Legislative • Umbrella of multilateral agreements • Alternative: Passing a law • Cost vs. benefit • Start with business transactions that have a good balance between cost and benefit

  13. Adoption strategy – “Comply or explain” • Parliamentary Resolution on Open Standards • (B103 June 2nd 2006) “Parliament imposes on the government a duty to ensure that the public sector’s use of IT, including use of software, is based on open standards.” • A catalogue of open standards will be maintained as of January 1st 2008

  14. e-procurement as locomotive • Achievements so far • 1.25 million e-invoices are exchanged every month • All public sector institutions (> 30.000 entities) • Since February 2005 • 440,000 companies affected • Built on OASIS UBL • Gateways provides critical mass from day one • Positive business case for first movers

  15. A simple client

  16. A simple client

  17. SOAP 1.1 Support for SMTP/POP3 WS-Addressing 1.0 UDDI 3.0 New subscription API Primary / secondary XML 1.0 XML Schema 1.0 WSDL 1.1 Contract first WS-Security 1.0 X.509 certificates WS-ReliableMessaging WS-RX Submitted specification UBL 0.7 and 2.0 Our profile: RASP – Reliable Asynchronous Secure Profile Large OASIS footprint

  18. What are the unique conditions of the Danish case?– and what could anyone adopt? • Unique: • size (land, population, public sector) • IT: High (IT) literacy • acceptance (and level) of registration, trust in public sector • absence of other worries • Good-for-all: • Sense of urgency (DK case: Aging population, impending labor shortage) • first consensus, then legislation • comply or explain • open standards increase competition

  19. Summary • Get going • Involve • Set targets • And if everything fails… Use brute force = legislation
