Design Approach

Solution design principles

The iFIX solution design is built as a Digital Public Good and follows a key set of design principles listed below.

• Single Source of Truth - Data resides in multiple systems across departments and getting an integrated, consistent and disaggregated view of data is imperative.

• Federated - Central, State and Local Governments represent the federated structure of government. This federated structure must be considered when designing systems that enable intergovernmental information exchange.

• Unbundled - Break down complex systems into smaller manageable and reusable parts that are evolvable and scale independently.

• Minimum - Minimum data attributes that have a well-defined purpose is mandatory; everything else is optional.

• Privacy and Security - Ensuring the privacy of citizens, employees and users while ensuring the system's security.

• Performance at Scale - The system is designed to perform at scale.

• Open Standards - The system is based on open standards, making it easy to discover, comprehend, integrate, operate and evolve.
