With ETNICs solution in place, communications between entities in the school registration process no longer have to resort to manual, paper-based exchange of data, dramatically reducing errors in data entry and increasing system efficiency. Within a school system that has more than 3,500 schools and a million students, even minor gains in efficiency have a significant impact on the productivity of all administrators. Going forward, changes to security requirements can be made quickly and simply in a single, central place: the Layer 7 policy document, removing the burden from each schools IT team, which traditionally would need to update their client systems to conform to the new requirements, test the changes, and redeploy the new client. According to Anne Noseda from ETNICs support team, Layer 7 allows us to define complex security policies in a graphical user-friendly way. Her colleague Sbastien Bal agreed with her: After a short period of adaptation, we can now focus on security-related business logic requirements instead of their technical implementation. The security policies are also easier to maintain. Additionally, ETNIC now has a new addition to their library of freely available SOA artifacts that other projects can leverage to reduce the cost and effort of their projects.
