Center for Government Interoperability

About Alex Glaros

I have had over 24 years of experience working in information technology. Along the way, I've discovered some great ideas and am using gov-ideas.com to pass them along.

I first become interested in relational database theory in the 1980s when reading James Martin's Computer Database Organization. The book completely transformed me. I remember enthusiastically reading it twice in a row as though it was a novel.

My ideas for improving government interoperability and development methods formally began when listening to FBI Director Robert Mueller's testimony before Congress that the lack of connectivity between government data systems was partly responsible for the failure to identify 9/11 related security threats. I recognized a similar lack of interoperability within all government, and define the root problem as an absence of data model guided, enterprise-wide, business process design. To help solve this problem, I've originated several solutions including Enterprise Focused Development, the Opportunities Checklist for New Software Projects, and the Center for Government Interoperability designed to bring business people into enterprise integration planning as full partners with IT professionals.

If you have any questions or comments, please send them to me.

Thanks,

Frequently asked question: Do you have any financial interest in these methodologies?

I have no financial interest regarding the concepts set forth in this web site, Gov-Ideas. I am a government employee and not a private contractor. I am not selling services for personal profit. Advice to any government from me is free forever. Any business or software methodology or framework that I originate is free to everyone. I am happy to answer any questions that help promote government interoperability. My goal is to integrate government data and business processes so that they align with government's mission to serve the public.
