CW Connect – The Complete Integration Solution

Overview
CWConnect meets the urgent and increasing need for integration between the disparate systems increasingly being used by Local Government. In an environment consisting of a mixture of client-server and Service-oriented Architecture (SOA) systems, CWConnect replaces the existing complex configuration of point-to-point connections with a single solution for any application needing to share information:

CWConnect – The Local Government Integration Hub connects front office applications, back office applications and third party applications via secure encrypted XML.
CWConnect enables you to build the right integration hub to better manage information exchange and data transfer across disparate systems

How is CWConnect used?
Local Councils are implementing an increasing number of front office applications with an ever increasing need to exchange information with third parties, such as:

• Citizen-centric services - CRM, Customer Tracking
• E-services – e-planning, Online Council Tax
• Strategic initiatives – ICS, ISA, SAP, ICRS, SP
• Third parties – Payment Reconciliation, NLPG, Government Gateway

To deliver these projects requires exchanges with the appropriate back office systems and in some cases multiple exchanges with several systems. Councils have a requirement for an integration hub to allow handling of messaging in an e-gif XML environment. The problem is that many of these systems are not ‘open’ and therefore do not allow connectivity.

CWConnect solves all your integration and information management requirements in a single solution now and for the future
