Excellent WS-services implementation in Ireland
Tim Bray “points out the excellent implementation of web services”:http://www.tbray.org/ongoing/When/200x/2004/05/11/ReachPSB which is currently being implemented by “Reach”:http://www.reach.ie/, a branch of the Irish government.
Tim points out a number of facets of this implementation which are quite heartwarming to read. The system is scalable, vendor-independent, secure and accountable. These are all important facets of enterprise-level architecture implementations, and a government should be held to at least that level of quality and engineering.
It is a proud day to see that at least one part of the Irish government is doing the right thing with respect to system deployments. The UK government could learn a thing or two from this
