Governments are scrambling to keep up with a deluge of new and diverse sources of content that are needed to meet the expectations of their staffs, elected officials and citizens who interact with government services. Internal databases, emails, collaboration platforms, subscription information services, web sites and social media services are all key content sources that local, state and national governments need to deliver critical information and to be able to do this more cost effectively than ever before.

The payoff for using MuseGlobal's Smart Connectors for delivering enhanced content connectivity can be enormous for government services.

• Platform Consolidation — MuseGlobal's Smart Connectors consolidate information from multiple platforms, without interfering with the day-to-day operations of the content sources. Smart Connectors can also feed information from other platforms into an existing platform, enabling existing interfaces to be enhanced with additional information.

• Inter-Agency Information Sharing — MuseGlobal and its partners have the ability to assemble information from multiple government agencies and outside sources rapidly and cost-effectively. One of the significant problems facing governments is in the broad area of law enforcement. Law enforcement officials need to assemble information rapidly from a wide array of government sources, enabling them to have a multi-dimensional view of people, events and relationships, that lead to more effective law enforcement efforts. Although this example is for law enforcement, this type of information sharing can be applied rapidly to any inter-agency information sharing initiative.

• Open Government Initiatives — When people use social media and other collaborative tools to share ideas and information, often the presence of related information sources can enhance the level of interest in visiting sites and using these tools. MuseGlobal's Smart Connectors provide fresh information into a social media or collaborative web site from any number of sources, including from other social media platforms. The Smart Connectors' ability to enable federated and harvested searches across multiple information sources also enables any social media platform to become a ‘go-to’ destination.

• Defense and Security Initiatives — With information being available in more places than ever before, defense and security initiatives benefits greatly from MuseGlobal's Smart Connectors and their ability to combine information from more sources more efficiently and effectively than any other content connector technology source. Instead of having to wait for information to be fed into large, centralized databases or a common search index, information from multiple sources can be refreshed on the fly and then presented into normalized data formats for further use. Built-in data harvesting tools enable unstructured content sources to be used in structured analysis of information and trends — or information from existing mining and analysis tools can be fed in and combined.

MuseGlobal's Smart Connectors connect all the dots.
