Portal Infrastructure as a Shared Service
2
What drives shared services?
Fiscal realities Shrinking budgets Reduced staffing
Re-usability All parties benefit from innovation
Single view of government Consistency for the customer
Extensibility Ability to extend vertically and horizontally
3
What were the drivers of Mass.Gov?
Navigation by audience and topic, not government structure
Single gateway to multitude of services
Increased visibility of transactions
Corporate look and feel, simple navigation
Separate content from presentation
Ease of maintenance (and migration)
More centralized approach to governing
4
The portal stood our existing business process on its head
Centralized publishing at enterprise level -- content pushed to web by ITD, not agencies
Centralized publishing at agency level -- content maintained by programmers, not subject matter expert
Before Decentralized publishing standards and practices for 100s of agencies
= 100s of unique websites = 100s of unique navigation schemes= 100s of experts = 100s of toolsets
Costly to maintain, chaos for users
5
The portal stood our existing business process on its head
Centralized publishing standards and practices for 100s of agencies = One portal, a handful of subportals = One navigation scheme= One team of experts and community of content authors= One toolset
Diminishing costs to maintain, simple for users
After
Decentralized publishing at enterprise level -- content pushed to web by agencies, not ITD
Decentralized publishing at agency level -- content maintained by subject matter experts, not programmers
