Information Assurance White Paper

Over the past decade, Information Assurance (IA) has become a topic which has stimulated debate on secure transmission solutions, formed the construct for new business continuity processes, and raised the importance of safeguarding data to the foreground. The prevalence of IA integration into an enterprise comes as no surprise, since most companies are heavily dependent on computing technology to operate. With the constant need to have information resources readily available coupled with the proliferation of digital espionage, malicious “hacker” attacks, and the threat of cyber terrorism, agencies need to consider IA integration into their enterprise to protect their most important asset, their data.

Service Oriented Architecture White Paper

Constant evolution of technology in a rapidly evolving and changing enterprise has challenged the CIO’s, and CTO’s of 21st century to address the issue of IT and business integration. Connecting variety of applications across the enterprise and working with complex tools to achieve IT and business efficiency is littered with failed integration initiatives. Proprietary non-standard based integration efforts along with point to point rigid non-reusable interfaces have added to the problem. The optimal approach to address these shortcomings is Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) which can reconcile data across disparate systems, allowing your applications to work together.
