KRANJ, 9.4. 2008 – Genis confirmed its leading role in managing SOA service oriented architecture based solutions at the recent IBM forum. By presenting its interoperability projects in Slovenian public administration it proved its high qualification in building innovative solutions for the optimization and automation of work procedures. For the execution of these solutions Genis uses state of the art technologies and SOA approaches.

Service oriented architecture (SOA) enables joining various information resources – applications and data – to new information services with added value. By using SOA, organizations can adjust information support to operation demands and produce innovative user services. "SOA is one of the basic elements of information solutions and services for up-to-date operation, developed by Genis", said Stane Štefančič, director of Genis. "By using SOA technologies and approaches Genis has carried out numerous interoperability projects in Slovenian public administration, and they are also used for connecting business solutions with e-Archivist electronic archiving system."

In the field of interoperability and the use of SOA, Genis has, in cooperation with Slovenian public administration, already completed the e-Births project and the pilot PanEU and IO Kindergartens projects. e-Births is a service of electronic birth registration which enables Slovenian maternity hospitals instant filing of a claim for the assigning of a unique personal identification number (UPIN) and the registration of a birth and the newborn's residence address. It connects, through SOA services, hospital information systems with public administration back office systems. PanEU is a project of an electronic web service for the fast and easy obtaining of a permanent or temporary residence in the Republic of Slovenia and Slovenian personal identificators by using a verified digital certificate. IO-Kindergartens is an interoperability information system project for managing reduced kindergarten payment applications. It supports work procedures upon deciding on reduced payment and, by using SOA connection, ensures self-service information from four different systems (Ministry of the Interior, MoLFSA, ESS and Tax Administration of the RS).
Genis will perform a pilot project for connecting and the informatization of central registers in EU countries together with ANUSCA Italian registrars association.

Genis will perform a pilot project for connecting and the informatization of central registers in EU countries together with ANUSCA Italian registrars association. Exchange of certificates and data between European public administrations is simplified by using SOA concepts, which will enable European citizens simpler resolving of civil status changes  outside their home country.
