Microsoft: Web Services key to Homeland Security
eWeek | at | by Mike
Microsoft is counting on its Web services strategy and product roadmap to pay off big in its effort to support the U.S.'s Homeland Security initiative. Tom Richey, director of homeland security for Microsoft Public Sector based in Washington, told eWEEK that the interoperability afforded through Web services will help integrate disparate systems across governmental entities to benefit homeland security.
"The Microsoft platform and our ability along the areas of Web services in connecting disparate infrastructures will be an incredible force multiplier that's consistent with the goals and challenges around funding the homeland security needs," Richey said.
