Welcome to the Forum Federal web site: Trusted and Secure Information Sharing and Electronic Transactions across Government Agencies
Service-Oriented Architectures, Web Services and XML
The mass adoption of XML in the US Federal Government is unquestionable. Legislative actions and guidelines within the Federal Enterprise Architecture mean that XML is here and here to stay. In fact, the majority of the Executive Agencies are already using XML technology in their approach to IT design, development and deployment.
After 9-11 governments across the globe are moving fast to get control over information and direct it to the right people at the right time to make better and more informed decisions. However, the more information is collected, stored and shared the greater the risk for misuse and abuse. From a legal, ethical and democratic perspective government agencies are keen on actively protecting and controlling the release of private and sensitive information.
Forum Systems solutions enable State and Federal Government agencies to collect, accumulate, process and share information while assuring individual freedoms. XML and Service-Oriented Architectures (SOA) are now imperative to the success of e-Government initiatives because they allow for the frictionless and seamless exchange of information.
Forum Systems is the leader in Web services and SOA security, management, governance and networking infrastructures for modern government IT solutions.
Forum Systems Information Assurance Solutions (IAS) allows government agencies to enforce best practices for information sharing, decision making and collaborative activities. Forum IAS ensure government employees and partners follow strict information security guidelines using policies built from government regulations, legal constraints and risk management factors.
