Terms of Reference1. Develop an IT solution architecture to provide a

common web services API for disparate systems. 2. Solution must provide:

– A standards-based architecture that enables interoperability within governments;

– A repeatable process for exposing common web services for existing/legacy systems; and

– An application runtime environment, development environment and tools to develop and deploy web services applications.


Terms of Reference cont

3. OSS (Open Source Software) should be used where possible.

2. The architecture should applied to three distinct cases encompassing national and regional/local government applications.

3. The proofs of concept must be tested and demonstrated to the technical advisers of Ristek, Kominfo, Menpan and Transportasi.

4. Capacity building and technology transfer should be done.


Background• Three years ago three senior officers (from Ristek,

Kominfo and Menpan) developed a shared vision of what could be done to improve the use of IT both in government and throughout the country.

• Their goals:

– to facilitate and support the drive for ‘Good Governance’ via modern IT; and

– to help modernize the national IT sector and thereby improve the rate of national economic and social development.


StrategyThe strategy to achieve this consisted of an initial three

simple, high level and potentially very high impact elements.

2. Open IT standards – adopt as mandatory for all future government systems.

3. Interoperability – adopt as mandatory for all future government systems, and facilitate use in high priority legacy (existing) systems.

4. OSS – use where possible.


Action To launch this strategy three initiatives were identified and planned.

2. Endorse OSS and launch a new government program; IGOS was launched.

3. Identify and conduct a single high impact project to address an endemic problem of government, ‘Islands of Information’. Solution: Interoperability for legacy systems This project – Interoperability (SP 202) was

launched.3. A White Paper on Open IT Standards and OSS was

planned and drafted.


‘Islands of Information’ – Occur where data in a computer system

cannot be electronically accessed from or shared with any external system.• Typically the only person/s with effective

access to such data are those who collect and/or maintain it;

– Exist in literally thousands of situations throughout government; and

– Constitute a huge (and to date largely impenetrable) barrier to improving public administration and governance Indonesia.


Governance• Governance relies on information and data.• To be useful, data should be:

– Accessible• to all with a need, or a right, to know;

– Able to be shared (exchanged)• with related data bases and applications;

– Timely• Most data is only useful if it is timely; and

– Accurate• Not subject to errors from repeated manual re-

entry (or manipulation).• Good governance needs good access to good data.


Access to Data in Government• Throughout most governments in Indonesia:

– Data is often directly accessible only to those who collect/maintain it;

– In vast numbers of cases government data and information is NOT accessible other than via paper reports (or sneaker net);

– Direct result much data loses its potential to be useful. (Too little, too late!)

Traditional Solution• Traditional solutions for interoperability

– Require rewriting application– Not feasible when source code is ‘lost’– Require very scarce high level IT skills and

experience– Result is a non-repeatable, proprietary

solution– Expensive


Technical Objective• GoI and regional systems must interoperate.• New systems:

– Interoperability architecture standard for new systems.

• Legacy systems: – Systems should interoperate without

massive rewrite.• Should adhere to international open

standards


Steering Committee Guidelines

• Must conform to GOI specified guidelines:

– Open Standards

• Additional requirements:

– Use OSS where feasible

– Able to be implemented by local software development resources

– Inexpensive

3. Proofs of Concept (POC)


Three Proofs of Concept

A. Local government Payroll and

Accounting systems interoperability

B. Pare Pare Personal ID and Permitting

systems interoperability

C. Marine Shipping Reporting System

Ports Pelindo Transportasi HQ


Guidelines for POC• Addresses and resolves a real business

problem.– If implemented, would deliver significant

business benefits• Requires no or minimal modifications to

existing systems.• Developed by local IT professionals.• Repeatable solution not possible without

PASIR.


A. Payroll and Accounting• Business problem

– Most local governments transfer all payroll data manually to accounting departments.

– Redundant data entry is a large waste of time and staff, and introduces errors

– New national regulations will require interoperability.

• Solution– Project proponent: GRSII – CIDA– Use web services to automatically communicate

payroll data to accounting department

B. Pare ParePersonal ID and Permitting

• Business case– Pare Pare has excellent (ISO 9000), but separate Personal ID

Admin and Permitting systems. – Checking of personal ID of permit applicants is manual and

unreliable.

• Solution– Project proponent: MENPAN– Enabled Permitting access to personal ID data– Reduces errors in permit applications– Helps identify fraudulent applications– In principle can be used to verify personal ID against other

local and national government records.

C. Marine Shipping Reporting• Business problem

– Data is captured using electronic tools, but the data flow between ports, Pelindos and Transportasi is paper.

– Redundant data entry is large waste of time and staff and Introduces errors.

– Process is time consuming. Data loses value with time.

– Current information system precludes decentralization of port authority to regional/local government.


C. Marine Shipping Reporting• Solution

– Proponent: Secretary General, Transportasi

– Developed system to automate flow of marine shipping data from ports, to Pelindos, to Transportasi HQ.

Implementation


Capacity BuildingFour principles adopted.• Use and train local developers with

experienced guidance and supervision. • Use IT staff (of organizations selected for

proofs of concept) to implement and demonstrate the architecture.

• Work with management to ensure capacity building is practical and follow through commitments would be made.

• Transfer all technology.


Capacity Building - Results• Two local developers trained and guided to

successfully develop the web services, architecture and proofs of concept.

• Eight IT staff for the three proofs of concept trained now capable of demonstrating and continuing development activities.

• Two local IT professionals now capable of training for web services + PASIR architecture + toolkit, and providing related technical advice.

• Excellent follow through commitments received from key ministries, and private sector participants.

• All IT technology transferred.



Implementation Commitments• Four ministries have made specific

implementation commitments to ensure future use and continuing development of the interoperability architecture developed and proven under this project.– Ristek– Menpan– Kominfo– Transportasi


RISTEK Commitments• Presented by: Engkos Koswara, ADM• Joint Ministerial Decree (with Kominfo and

Menpan) improving access to data as a critical aspect of facilitating ‘good governance’;– recommend all ministries and regional/local

governments use or consider using PASIR (architecture and toolkit) for establishing interoperability among critical legacy systems.

• Information Infrastructure for Ristek/BPPT– PASIR foundation for information infrastructure

within and among RISTEK and LPND.


• Leadership + Communications– Lead program to socialize interoperability

benefits– Sponsor (+ Kominfo + Menpan)

government wide conference on interoperability

– Sponsor (+ Kominfo + others) interoperability conference for IT industry

– Sponsor (+ others) series of regional conferences and workshops on interoperability for government

RISTEK Commitments


Menpan CommitmentsPresented by: Hendrumal Panjaitan, Menpan• “Best Practice” for all government

administration and management (both national and regional/local) will now include requirements and guidelines for data access and exchange based on: – Open IT standards– Interoperability, and– PASIR architecture and toolkit (maintained

and supported by Kominfo).


CommitmentsPresented by: Ibu Lolly Amalia AbdullahDirector for Information Systems, Software and

ContentMinistry of Communication and Information

Technology (Kominfo)• Responsibility:

Department of Communication and Information TechnologyDepartment of Communication and Information Technology


CommitmentsDepartment of Communication and Information TechnologyDepartment of Communication and Information Technology

• Advisory role:– Advise and assist other ministries to implement

interoperability for legacy systems based on PASIR.

• S/W development projects:– PASIR will now be used as web services and

interoperability foundation for;• e-Government (now in development)• e-Business, particularly for SMEs (about to be

developed)• e-Health (planned for development)



• PASIR to provide web services and interoperability foundation other key projects, including:

– SIN, Single Identity Number; where PASIR will now be used as a foundation for the reference number system to link all public services databases;

– SISKAB, the Cabinet Information System; where it will be used to gather the important information needed by the President and his Cabinet; and



– Coordinating Ministry for Politics, Laws and Security; the Committee’s new Executive Information System (EIS) will use PASIR as the interoperability architecture and basis for data access and exchange across the six ministries to provide a more timely, effective and efficient Cabinet level EIS.


Transportasi CommitmentsPresented by: Wendy AritenangSecretary General, Ministry of Transportation 3. Commercial Ports - Executive Information

System (EIS)– Create a new EIS for the Ministry to

improve dramatically the timeliness and reliability of shipping and related port data for (the 130) commercial ports and Pelindos. EIS will be based on PASIR and will use the ‘proof of concept’ as starting point;

– This opportunity will be used to streamline (reengineer) the business process for shipping and port operations data flows.


Transportasi Commitments2.Non-commercial Ports - Information

System– Develop a modern information

system for the 300+ non-commercial ports reporting to Transportasi dramatic improvements in all aspects of shipping, safety and operations data for these ports;

– New system to be based on PASIR architecture and web services toolkit.


Transportasi Commitments3.Decentralization of Authority - Non-

commercial Ports– Based on the new system (with built-

in process for accountability), Transportasi will be able to transfer authority for the operations of 300+ marine ports to local governments. This will be a major new step in the government’s decentralization program.


Transportasi Commitments

4.National Transport Management System

• Develop: a permanent integrated information system and ‘management centre’, based on PASIR and on experience from the transport crisis management centre established annually during Idul Fitri to manage people movement nationwide.


Transportasi Commitments5. Access to Information on Transportation

Relevant information would be directly accessible, with appropriate security and protection for confidential and strategic information, • Minister, Secretary General and

management of Transportasi• Office of the President and Cabinet (via

SISKAB)• Other ministries and public agencies• Local governments, and• General public.


Project SummaryWork plan: approved by RISTEK + Kominfo + Menpan + Transportasi

– Architecture for using web services for interoperability among legacy/existing systems was:

• Recommended, approved and named ‘PASIR’; and • Developed and tested.

– Three case projects were:• Recommended and approved;• Developed and tested for proof of concept; and• Demonstrated.

– Local staff were trained and used throughout to:• Develop all systems and case project applications;• Demonstrate all systems and proof of concept; and• Play key roles in delivering workshops and training.


Success FactorsSteering Committee requested independent comment on why this project successful where others failed.

• Project start with clear vision shared by 3 ministries:– Ambitious, but achievable objectives (including

definite deadline to finish)– Prepared to try new approaches– Multi-ministry participation + team– Create opportunities for private sector participation

• Outstanding support + commitment throughout:– four ministries (RISTEK, Kominfo, Menpan,

Transportasi)– private sector, and– Minister of RISTEK


Success Factors cont

• e-LeadershipCombination of ‘open IT standards + OSS + interoperability’ captured the attention (and subsequently enthusiasm) of IT management and staff:– practical way to significantly improve the use of

legacy systems, and avoid throwing away applications;

– avoids costly battles resulting from vendor bias; • it is neither anti-Microsoft nor pro any other

vendor or system; provided a system is based on open IT standards it can be interoperated with any other standards-based system.
