FORS has accumulated extensive experience in development and implementation of information systems with geographically distributed structure. Since its first year of operation in the IT services market FORS has been successfully cooperating with the government agencies in designing information systems that help to meet all government management challenges.
In the context of the ongoing administrative reform in the Russian Federation FORS is committed to helping to transform organizations in the public sector. The federal and regional governments face increasing expectations from citizens and businesses. The public sector institutions are pressed to provide services and information to their constituents more quickly and cost-efficiently; the government programs are becoming more complex while demands for public transparency, accountability and fiscal responsibility escalate. FORS focuses its efforts on assisting governments to address these challenges and to serve their technology needs with a powerful combination of expertise and comprehensive business applications built specifically for the public sector.
Approach to public sector informatization
Consulting services
All FORS implemented projects start from an analysis of customer requirements for an information system to be designed or enhanced. The cooperation with customers in this area entails carrying out a profound survey based on the government agency’s subject-matter area, i.e. legal and regulatory framework, the customer’s reference and methodological materials, etc. This is required to ensure high flexibility of the designed system in the context of evolving legislation that is currently typical for almost every area of the government regulation.
Integration
FORS solutions are built on the advanced service-oriented architecture (SOA) that allows to design sophisticated and at the same easily customizable software packages to reduce their adaptation, implementation and ownership costs. Such an approach allows to efficiently address a whole range of important challenges faced by the public institutions: enterprise infrastructure management, scheduled collaboration of structural divisions, analysis and monitoring of execution of public functions and services, interaction with the constituents, as well as efficient interagency cooperation. FORS integration solution is based on Oracle technologies that allow to maximize potential IT capabilities to deal with the government challenges.
