Streamline & Accelerate Access to Information & Services
The President's Management Agenda (PMA) is written as a platform for government reform. The guiding principles of the PMA call for government that is citizen-centric, (not bureaucracy-centered), results-oriented, and market-based (actively promoting innovation through completion).The document spells out five government-wide initiatives and nine agency-specific directives. One of the key initiatives is the call for an expansion of Electronic Government (e-Gov).
At the heart of the FEA program is a Business Reference Model, which provides a framework that facilitates a functional view of the federal government's Lines of Business (LoBs). In support of the Business Reference Model, the FEA has established four additional models:
- Data Reference Model
- Performance Reference Model
- Service Component Reference Model
- Technical Reference Model
In the four years since the President drafted his management agenda, e-Gov has been established, resulting in improved access to information and services. Part of the success of e-Gov initiatives has been agency adoption of XML technologies. Now, PTC brings even greater efficiency to the process with the world's only integral XML publishing system.
PTC's Dynamic Publishing System allows for government content management across the entire range of information management capabilities - creation, collaboration, control, configuration and communication. Subject matter experts can create content directly in XML. Agency management can apply workflow tools to manage key collaborative processes and manage changes to the content. Rules for configuration can be imposed to dynamically render the version and format appropriate for final output. With PTC's integrated XML repository (the Arbortext Content Management System), agencies can establish a single source of content and publish consistently and efficiently in all formats (HTML, pdf, postscript, wireless or directly to CD-Rom).
The Dynamic Publishing System delivers "citizen-centric" access and promotes "results-oriented" efficiencies in formats essential to "market-based" demands.
