Testing the municipal integration platform management model with use cases (King)

Espoo, Turku and Vantaa wanted to promote the creation of a municipal integration platform through a pilot project (PoC), which created a management model for the municipal integration platform. The functionality of the management model was tested by implementing the integrations of mutually agreed use cases in a separate bond project. The project was funded with a grant from the Ministry of Finance and the work of the participating municipalities’ own staff. The project was clearly divided into two sub-groups: 1. Development of a management model (the management model was developed in four separate workshops, representing all the municipalities involved and the Association of Local Governments). 2. Implementation of the integrations of selected use cases (in the selection of use cases, attention was paid to gaining experience in the implementation of the National Gateway and the utilisation of various Suomi.fi services. The use cases were selected as Suomi.fi service authorisation/Services-survey questionnaire for the early childhood education form, as well as the search for YSJ/company information in the Espoo Register of Operators. The integrations of use cases were implemented and tested on the Apache Service Mix integration platform implemented in a parallel project.)
