Interoperable Open Architecture 2012

INTEROPERABLE OPEN ARCHITECTURE looks to make open systems truly open by championing the use of middleware solutions based on open source, publically available standards. The result is an architecture where anyone with the necessary skill set can design and install a sub-system into the platform, resulting in cheaper, faster and smarter procurement

IOA 2012 Will:

• Showcase procurement best practise from across Europe and North America, empowering you with the fundamental technical understanding required to implement similar undertakings in your procurement programmes
• Provide a platform for major prime contractors to provide their honest assessment of the IOA principle. If you are a major prime contractor and interested in participating, please contact us to see how you can contribute to the discussion
• Assess not only the technical elements of IOA, but also how the process is being viewed by the procurement community, why this method has not been used previously and what non-technical hurdles need to be overcome in order to properly implement the approach
