Resources in Government

Local, state, and federal agencies are all subjected to varying degrees of pressure to improve upon the delivery of government services. The need to handle bigger workloads with fewer people, coupled with rapidly rising expectations for electronic access to government services, are having the combined effect of pressing government agencies to the forefront of technological innovation in the 21st century.

By: Sumeet Vij, AIS Chief SOA Engineer at SAIC

If a picture is a worth a thousand words, a standardized model is definitely worth multiple pages of a requirement specification.
