Czech Republic Blazes Path to E-Government with Informix; Czech Ministry of Industry and Trade Provides Citizens and Businesses with Internet Access to Information with Informix i.Reach"The Informix i.Reach solution was chosen because of its easy integration with the existing MIT technological infrastructure. i.Reach will also scale to match our future on-line needs," said Miloslav Marcan, director of IT Section of the Ministry of Industry and Trade. "Most important for us, though, was the high speed of implementation offered by solution provider Corpus and Informix -- we had a working system ready for use within two months." Corpus Solutions is a Czech Internet company. The Freedom of Information Act, implemented in the Czech Republic on January 1, 2000, requires all government agencies to make information available on-line as a resource for Czech citizens and businesses. In addition to publishing information externally, MIT also uses i.Reach to provide Ministry employees access to internal government documents, enabling them to share, view and amend content on-line. For example, business directories, legislation passed since 1945, real-time work flow documents, tenders and timetables are all available on-line to Ministry employees. "Our i.Reach solution is helping to modernize government information systems across Europe," said Jim Hendrickson, senior vice president of the i.Informix business group. "When a government deploys this technology, it is able to provide a higher level of service to the public at a lower cost to the taxpayers." The project was implemented by Corpus Solutions, a Czech Internet company, and Informix. About the Czech Ministry of Industry and Trade The Ministry of Industry and Trade is the central government agency for national industrial policy covering all industrial segments in the Czech Republic. The Ministry of Industry and Trade further co-ordinates the Czech Republic foreign trade policy in relation to individual states, provides the conclusion of bilateral and multilateral commercial and economic treaties, implements business co-operation with the EU, EFTA, WTO and other multi-national organizations. It controls and performs the activities connected with the exercise of license policy in economic contacts with foreign countries. It applies the procedures to prevent the import of products at dumping prices. MIT also acts in the capacity of Czech Republic Trade Licensing Office controlling the hallmark facilities and precious metal testing, and provides for energy and trade inspections. It is the central authority of the national administration in commodity exchange matters. About i.Reach Informix i.Reach includes a simple Web browser interface that allows any individual within an organization to easily contribute to and/or access documents from a Web site. With i.Reach, approval of content can be delegated to "folder owners" -- those qualified to manage and review individual subject matter areas. This not only improves the quality of published material, but also spreads the load of managing the Web site content throughout the organization and eliminates the bottleneck of centralized content administration.

Based in Menlo Park, Calif., Informix is the first and only company to integrate e-business and business intelligence on a true Internet infrastructure.
