5 axway.com Prepare your organization for digital transformation • Speed the discovery, deployment and use of APIs • Build, test, deploy and manage APIs from a single, secure platform • Facilitate innovation with highly secure content collaboration Providing fast, convenient access to government services Citizens and companies increasingly want the convenience and speed of digital interaction with government services. In Belgium, BOSA has launched an API management and service platform that enables rapid, secure access to data for citizens and businesses across the country. Connecting agencies with key data rapidly through content collaboration To help serve citizens effectively, the Indiana Office of Technology aimed to give state agencies a fast, secure way to access and share important data. The office deployed a file-sharing platform that syncs with the state's central, on-premises data repository in real time — connecting employees with their data from anywhere at the touch of a button.

We also wanted to modernize our security around APIs, to ensure that we could protect sensitive data at all times. Solution BOSA worked with Sopra Steria to deploy the AMPLIFY™ API Management solution to support the Belgian Federal Service Platform (FSP). Results • Cost-effective scaling of services as demand and user numbers grow • Enhanced security and performance, plus support for containerization • Secure access to data for citizens and companies in Belgium axway.com SUCCESS STORY Federal Public Service Policy and Support (FPS BOSA) Providing fast, convenient digital access to government services In the digital age, citizens and businesses alike expect greater ease, speed, and convenience when interacting with government agencies. In response, public organizations have increasingly embraced e-government services, whereby manual processes are digitized and made available online. As the Policy and Support organization serving the Belgian federal government, BOSA is helping to drive digital transformation as the logical evolution of e-government. A key element in this transformation is the creation of the Federal Service Platform (FSP), which offers standardized infrastructure services and software solutions to government agencies. As the government of Belgium is fragmented across federal, regional and communal levels, FSP provides behind-the-scenes connections between multiple agencies and sets of data. François Soumillion, Domain Architect at BOSA, says, "BOSA works horizontally across the government-agency verticals, providing connected services that promote the sharing of data. This is not just about internal efficiency and cost-savings; under the Belgian 'Only Once' law, a government agency may not request information from a citizen or company if that entity has already provided the same information to another government agency." To facilitate the sharing of data, BOSA manages hundreds of web services and APIs to connect "authoritative sources"— defined sets of reference data on people and companies, such as national registers of personal address data and medical data. As part of the ongoing digital transformation, BOSA wanted to modernize access to these information sources by moving to an all-API approach.
