TietoEnator introduces to the market the dBroker solution that flexibly combines Internet portals and electronic service
TietoEnator introduces to the market the dBroker solution that flexibly combines Internet portals and electronic services of different service providers TietoEnator has developed an electronic service solution called dBroker, which supports TietoEnator's Digital Government concept and makes it possible to flexibly combine Internet portals and services offered by different service providers. dBroker offers different portals a centralised communications channel through one point to electronic services. In practice, the builders of Internet portals can by using the dBroker solution expand the service selection of their portals. A portal also becomes more user-friendly when the user can access a more extensive service selection and services that are naturally related to the portal through his favourite portals. In addition to combining portals and electronic services, dBroker contains solutions for, e.g. user authentication, digital signature and payment. As an overall solution, dBroker offers corporate customers a simpler way to develop electronic services of their own. dBroker is based on open standards and interfaces and can therefore be flexibly transferred to different operating environments. It has been developed with the Java programming language and is based on the UDDI service directory standard. Data is transferred between different information systems as XML messages, and the data transfer protocol is for example SOAP. With the dBroker concept it is also possible to make old base systems part of electronic service entities by using service interfaces built on the base systems. Thanks to this, the investments in the old base systems can be exploited when developing new, electronic services. TietoEnator started to develop the dBroker concept in 1999. The solution has been developed parallelly with the international standardisation in the sector, which is why it is consistent with the field's latest standards. TietoEnator builds at the moment an overall solution of electronic services based on dBroker for the city of Espoo.
