Mountain View, CA, June 02, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- WSO2 today announced that solutions partner Realdolmen has implemented two data exchange platforms for the Brussels Regional Informatics Centre (BRIC), a public interest agency that serves the 19 municipalities of Brussels-Capital. The WSO2 platform powers the Intégrateur de Services Régional (ISR) , enabling the exchange of information and processes between government agencies. Additionally, it functions at the heart of Brussel’s Smart City communications platform, supporting the city’s open data and Internet of Things (IoT) initiatives. A new case study about the implementation can be found at http://wso2.com/casestudies/bric-and-realdolmen-empowering-brussel-s-digital-government-infrastructure-with-wso2/.
The case study from WSO2 examines the business and technology demands leading to BRIC’s need for the two new platforms. It also reviews the factors that led the agency to select Realdolmen and WSO2, and discusses the solution architectures for the two platforms.
The first platform, ISR, functions as a single, large-scale hub for web services offered by government institutions. Designed by Realdolmen using WSO2 Enterprise Service Bus, ISR allows Brussels’ government agencies to open up their functionality and datasets to each other and to agencies outside the capital city.
The second platform developed by Realdolmen is an internal communications hub. It takes advantage of WSO2 API Manager for API management and analytics, as well as WSO2 Data Services Server to enable the exchange data and services in a unified manner. Not only does this support Brussels’ open data needs, it lays the groundwork for Brussel’s smart city initiative.
“The most important feature of WSO2’s platform has been the extensibility that allows us to tailor the solution to our specific needs,” says Hendrik Albrecht, division manager of consulting services at Realdolmen. “WSO2’s platform has proven to be a robust and affordable solution for implementing a range of enterprise integration patterns. We look forward to extending the use of WSO2 as BRIC continues to build on the initial success of its solutions.”
“As one of the premier technology consultants in Belgium, Realdolmen is a valued partner in empowering businesses and government agencies to digitally transform their operations,” said Dr. Sanjiva Weerawarana, WSO2 CEO and chief architect. “We are thrilled by the innovation of the data exchange platforms that Realdolmen has developed for the Brussels Regional Informatics Centre. They demonstrate power, agility and flexibility of our fully open source, enterprise software in driving next-generation digital services.”
