Washington Department of Labor: Web Services

Washington Department of Labor: Web Services

One of the shared services we designed in the Department of Labor & Industries’ long-term  plan was “Web Facing Services.” When it was time to implement this, they asked us to help them define the requirements and select a software product on which to base the service. 

Our original concept featured a service that would consume SOA messages off their message bus and compose them into a browser. This was essentially the design of a mash-up service, long before the term had been coined. We created a set of requirements and helped them select and configure the Plumtree product (which was essentially a portal product) to do what we intended.
