From e-government to healthcare to education, government organizations are providing a growing variety of online services to their constituents. As these services reach across traditional agency lines, complex computing systems must be interoperable to create workflow efficiencies and exchange and use information. With increasing frequency, governments are seeking solutions based on choice, agility, and return on investment. Focused on this real-world requirement, the Microsoft approach to interoperability meets the differing needs of customers, including governments, by promoting choice, competition, innovation, and opportunity for developers, partners, and independent software vendors.
