Government Department Modernizes IT Resources
with Software that Supports Fast and Secure Creation of New
Constituent Services
CA Technologies (NASDAQ:CA) today announced that the Italian
Ministry of the Interior has chosen CA identity and access
management solutions, CA Application Performance Management (CA
APM) and CA API Management to manage performance and security for
the collection and publishing of electoral data.
“CA Technologies is a dependable partner, helping to modernize
our IT solutions with a strong software portfolio for IT management
and security that supports Italy’s electoral procedures,” said
Salvatore Galatioto, application development officer for the
Department for Internal and Territorial Affairs’ (DAIT) information
systems office. “CA’s strength in helping customers with their
digital transformation, will support us as we renew our technology
infrastructure and reduce operational costs throughout our national
elections.”
The DAIT unit of the Ministry of the Interior is responsible for
collecting, processing and making state election data available to
the public, the media and various institutional bodies. The data is
sensitive and includes information such as the number of electors
and sections, lists, candidates, ballots, voter turnout and the
final vote count.
DAIT’s primary objective in renewing its architecture was to
reduce the cost of providing Municipalities and Prefectures
(similar to districts in the U.S.) with a reliable and easy-to-use
system that meets the demands for workloads and security, while
shifting electoral data publishing to APIs.
The overhaul was a three-phase project. The first phase involved
implementing CA Advanced Authentication and CA Application
Performance Management to deliver applications faster and more
securely with an optimal experience.
“CA Advanced Authentication provides flexible provisioning and a
frictionless user experience, and delivers the Municipalities and
Prefectures reliability and simplicity of use,” explains Galatioto.
“CA Application Performance Management allows us to monitor
performance easily, accurately and reliably. It enables us to
identify application bottlenecks and reduce failures of the
electoral machinery. Any performance problems are swiftly
identified and we intervene quickly to resolve any performance
issues.”
The second phase of project focused on reducing technology
complexity. DAIT decided to completely replace the existing
security platform with products from the CA Technologies identity
and access management portfolio, including CA Single Sign-On, CA
Directory and CA Identity Management and Governance. The CA
security software was chosen for its flexibility and adaptability
to DAIT’s needs.
The third phase was to make its services available to other
applications using APIs versus web services. DAIT chose CA API
Management for ease of use in defining and implementing access
policies, portal flexibility for Municipalities and other agency
use, and for its integration with the CA Technologies security
platform. In addition, by using CA API Management, entities which
exchange electoral data with the Ministry of the Interior can also
begin to write their own standardized applications.
“We are excited to help the Italian Interior Ministry accelerate
its journey of transformation to deliver superior constituent
experiences at unprecedented speed and scale,” said Ayman Sayed,
president and chief products officer, CA Technologies. “The breadth
of the CA portfolio helps them work across government agencies to
deliver services reliably and securely.”
