Shifting Gears...
So what... defense information ... military-civilian information ... access... communications across boundaries?

Shared Services Argument
• Pool resources and buy a better solution• Canada says overall savings are about 30
percent• Technical environment allows distributed
computing• Outsource and have a few key people
doing more via shared services

Proprietary Solutions Web ServicesSignificant system changes are difficult
Loosely-coupled, standards-based format and protocol
Architectural changes require unrelated components to change
Coarse-grained, service-oriented request/reply paradigm hides implementation
Long development cycle due to poor component reuse
Loosely-coupled, component-ized services are reusable and dynamically reconfigurable
Lost time spent on proprietary APIs
Vendor-neutral standardization of format and protocol
High maintenance and integration costs
Loosely-coupled, standards-based format and protocol

For Information Professionals...
A different information mode... real-time ... text, images, and video... automated systems... push data where it is likely to be needed... pull data when data are required...

Buzzwords and Consultants
• The browser model• Distributed computing• Standards (SOAP, XML, UDDI, WSDL)
• IBM + PriceWaterhouseCoopers = $• Deficits / economic downturn• “Like the Web but better and cheaper”• Reduce vendor lock in
