A System Integrator Interview with Michel Luypaert, IT Program Manager at DXC Technology Rien.Verbruggh Tue, 09/22/2020 - 11:50 iText had the pleasure of interviewing Michel Luypaert, IT Program Manager at DXC ... [More] Technology Belgium in relation to their recent amazing work for the Belgian government. The “DABS” project for digitalizing the civil registry has been a great success. In fact, in December 2019 the project received the Agoria e-Gov Award for Best Project of 2019. It was also declared the winner of the award in the Profitability subcategory. DXC Technology is the world's leading business transformation and System Integrator company, helping customers harness the power of innovation to thrive on change. Born of the merger of CSC and the Enterprise Services business of Hewlett Packard, DXC serves nearly 6,000 private and public-sector enterprises across 70 countries. Michel Luypaert, front row first from the left, with the DAV team - Source: AgoriaHello Michel. Can you give a brief introduction of yourself, and your responsibilities at DXC? I am responsible for the DXC team that provides IT services to the DAV (Dienst Administratieve Vereenvoudiging or Administrative Simplification Service) and its partners under a framework contract. These IT services mainly concern the public and / or development of large-scale intersecting programs within the government involving multiple partners from the public and private sectors. The most recent program was the Modernization of the Civil Registry program, which involved collaboration with the Department of Justice, the Department of Internal Affairs, the Department of Foreign Affairs and the IT partners of the municipalities. As the program manager, I am responsible for general coordination within the framework of these programs. What challenges did you face and overcome by partnering with iText? Our primary challenge was to meet the concrete needs of the Modernization of the Civil Registry program, and we worked together with iText to develop iText DITO as a product with the features and functionality required for the task. Where exactly did iText help DXC differentiate from other competitors? iText DITO allows to quickly design and adjust reports via a graphical editor. This activity can largely be performed by functional analysts. Working in this way makes it possible to save time when managing reports. iText DITO allows to quickly design and adjust reports via a graphical editor. This activity can largely be performed by functional analysts. Working in this way makes it possible to save time when managing reports. What constitutes an ideal cooperation between 2 partners in your eyes? I think the collaboration is ideal when there is a clear will among both partners to create a joint win-win situation where the partners strengthen each other when developing a solution. Or, to put it another way, 1 + 1 = 3, where added value results from the synergy between partners. Could you give some concrete examples on the level of teamwork and support received from iText? Throughout the period of collaboration, there were several design / test sessions where DXC gave an overview of the needs and requirements of the program and where iText proposed solutions to meet these needs. This Agile way of working together has resulted in the addition of multiple functionalities that were not initially present in iText DITO. Even when we encountered problems when using the new tool, we could count on active support from iText. A Slack communication channel was even set up to optimize communication between the iText DITO team and DXC’s developers. We experienced the cooperation with iText as very positive, and we look forward to working together in new projects, It’s good to hear the collaboration on this project was a success. Moving on, I believe this has led to DXC working on the implementation of a National Digital Identity system? Within the context of the Civil Registry Modernization program, the DXC team worked very actively with the National Register team and as a result has amassed important knowledge and experience with regard to the way in which a National Digital Identity system was set up in Belgium. Furthermore, DXC experts supported the National Register team in designing the solution for the new eID card and guiding the purchase procedure. This knowledge and experience will be applied in other international programs. DXC experts supported the National Register team in designing the solution for the new eID card and guiding the purchase procedure. This knowledge and experience will be applied in other international programs. Have you experienced an increase in demand for document workflow projects where digital signing and securing PDFs is required? We notice a trend to exchange more and more evidence in electronic form. This is also a requirement of the Single Digital Gateway Resolution. When this evidence is exchanged electronically, it is important that its authenticity is ensured with the addition of a secure electronic seal or signature. How would you explain the increase in popularity for low code wizard like dev tools? There is a general demand to work more Agile, to deliver solutions faster and at a lower cost. Productivity tools such as iText DITO, where mock-ups can be made quickly that can be easily adjusted, fit in well with this. What’s your vision on further future cooperation? We experienced the cooperation with iText as very positive, and we look forward to working together in new projects, Thanks for talking to us Michel, and we look forward to working with DXC again soon!  Feel free to read up on our blog post series below for System Integrators on global National Digital Identity Programs. System Integrator Series Introduction: Introducing 5 reasons why a global surge in National Digital Identity Programs requires Digital Document Workflow reviews. Reason 1: Enormous new market potential for both SIs and Customers due to National Digital Identity Programs. Reason 2High adoption rates for National Digital Identity Programs cause high demand for digital document workflow integrations.

System Integrator Series reason 2/5: High adoption rates for national digital identity Programs cause high demand for digital document workflow integrations. Rien.Verbruggh Mon, 09/14/2020 - 11:01 This article is an ... [More] integral part of a larger blog post series across several weeks on System Integrators and National digital identity programs. This series discusses the opportunities for System Integrators to create new business and integrate the digital document workflows of their customers, in the private and public sectors, with these national programs. Registering or booking appointments in healthcare, finance, telecom, real estate or hospitality using a national digital ID will become default citizen behavior. Citizens will finally be able to avoid the slog of manually filling out forms, or having to repeatedly provide their personal data over and over again when signing contracts online. National digital identity programs allow the prefilling of personal data and login much more easily and secure. This trustworthiness and user convenience are the key reasons why quick and high adoption rates are easy to understand. Some private business owners might complain on how some governments are often rather slow and conservative in implementing new regulations to let private businesses and the economy really thrive. Make no mistake, National digital identity programs are nothing like that. High adoption rates will demand private business to plug in on time or will otherwise end up as the pot calling the kettle black. Because of these programs, citizens are increasingly expecting any existing paper document exchange or signing of an agreement on paper, between a private business and a customer, to transform to a digital workflow. This requires businesses to manipulate PDF documents in high volume, digitally sign and secure PDF documents using National Digital Identity Platforms, etc. If we look at Estonia as an example, lauded as the world's most digitally advanced society, there is a study on the usage of qualified electronic signatures among 15-64 year-old citizens performed by Ernst & Young Estonia Baltic AS in collaboration with the Estonian Ministry of Economic Affairs and Communications. It showed take-up of the electronic identities and e-signatures by the private sector in Estonia, especially by the financial sector, has been extremely important. To put it simply, how annoying is it when you have to reenter the same personal details over and over again on different online platforms? And when you move, or your family situation changes, everything needs to be updated all over again? National digital identity programs avoid these negative user experiences. Your personal details are centralized by the government and business or public institutions can access them with your permission, relieving you from a lot of lost time. You would more than happily adopt such technology, right? And we’ve not even mentioned receiving forms, printing, signing, scanning and emailing them back to businesses. Who still wants to do that? Honestly? Let’s get those businesses integrated and not look back anymore. Stay tuned for our next reason next week, where we will talk about Strict screening and lengthy application procedures for national digital identity program integrations.

High adoption rates will demand private business to plug in on time or will otherwise end up as the pot calling the kettle black. Because of these programs, citizens are increasingly expecting any existing paper document exchange or signing of an agreement on paper, between a private business and a customer, to transform to a digital workflow. This requires businesses to manipulate PDF documents in high volume, digitally sign and secure PDF documents using National Digital Identity Platforms, etc. If we look at Estonia as an example, lauded as the world's most digitally advanced society, there is a study on the usage of qualified electronic signatures among 15-64 year-old citizens performed by Ernst & Young Estonia Baltic AS in collaboration with the Estonian Ministry of Economic Affairs and Communications. It showed take-up of the electronic identities and e-signatures by the private sector in Estonia, especially by the financial sector, has been extremely important. To put it simply, how annoying is it when you have to reenter the same personal details over and over again on different online platforms? And when you move, or your family situation changes, everything needs to be updated all over again? National digital identity programs avoid these negative user experiences. Your personal details are centralized by the government and business or public institutions can access them with your permission, relieving you from a lot of lost time. You would more than happily adopt such technology, right? And we’ve not even mentioned receiving forms, printing, signing, scanning and emailing them back to businesses. Who still wants to do that? Honestly? Let’s get those businesses integrated and not look back anymore.

In fact, business who implement these governmental authentication gateways for citizens create an enormous user convenience for any customer. Generating more incoming business at a higher rate. The head of e-business at OCBC Bank Singapore, one of the largest banks in APAC, said that before they had NDI integration, it took customers an average of 2 to 3 working days to open an account. Thanks to the integration the same application was cut to under 5 minutes. Their digital applications went up 3 times in the months following the integration and 80% of those applications were using the authentication gateway from the government. Integrating with national digital identity programs demands a certain level of technical expertise, this means many private businesses will be looking for a System Integrator who knows the ins and outs of their national program and is capable of helping them with the integration of their software with the program.
