Servers Dot-Net Building the next generation of public sector solutions takes the right mix of systems, processes and partners. UK GovTalk, the Government's initiative for delivering connected Government services, mandates XML - an open, internet standard as the means of connecting applications across the public sector. Microsoft's .NET range of servers provides a solid foundation for delivering an integrated platform on which new e-government solutions can be delivered. XML is a core component of the .Net servers, and thus enables connected applications to be built more quickly and easily than previously possible. Microsoft's range of desktop applications such as Office 2000, Project 2000 and Visio work seamlessly with the .Net servers, to allow knowledge workers to utilize these solutions with the tools they already know.
Security is absolutely critical to the successful implementation of e-government services.
Windows 2000 provides an integrated security model to afford single sign-on to multiple resources. Through intranets based on Microsoft technology, anyone in your organization, anywhere in the world, can connect with people and information, giving you access to the resources you need to conduct business successfully.
