Tax and Revenue Management: A government’s lifeblood
IT has provided the opportunities for governments to remodel the entire process of tax collection over the last decade. It is, however, a continuously evolving process and governments the world over need to constantly upgrade their tax systems to optimise their revenue workflows.

A recent SAP study confirmed that those organisations which adopt best practices in the areas of scope and adoption, process standardisation, technology and customer governance, do perform better, and do so as their best practice maturity increases.
Governments and Socialising
The advent of social media has seen governments hopping onto the bandwagon in a bid to further engage citizens.

China's Rail ministry secures national comms network
China’s Ministry of Railways is protecting its nationwide communications infrastructure, encompassing the Ministry’s headquarters and 18 bureaux, with the Juniper Networks Integrated Security Gateway (ISG) 2000 firewall/VPN with integrated Intrusion Detection and Prevention (IDP).
China’s Ministry of Railways is protecting its nationwide communications infrastructure, encompassing the Ministry’s headquarters and 18 bureaux, with the Juniper Networks Integrated Security Gateway (ISG) 2000 firewall/VPN with integrated Intrusion Detection and Prevention (IDP). The ISG 2000 was selected for its high-performance, comprehensive security and ability to easily protect the Ministry’s multi-segment network which is compartmentalized for more granular user access administration to minimise damage from network attack or failure, preventing or slowing problems from cascading across the entire infrastructure.
“The Juniper solution can be easily managed through a single interface without compromising performance or reliability,” said Zhang Xiaolin, Juniper’s general manager for China. “The ISG 2000 is essentially the gatekeeper for multiple network segments, and the IDP feature further boosts network security.”
The Juniper Networks ISG 2000 is a purpose-built, high-performance integrated security gateway that provides unmatched firewall and IPSec VPN performance for the latest Internet applications and multimedia content. The support of security zones and various virtualisation capabilities makes ISG 2000, an ideal solution to support multiple network segments and logically separated networks.
The Ministry of Railways is also leveraging the Intrusion Prevention System (IPS) capability of ISG 2000 with the optional Intrusion Detection and Prevention (IDP) security modules. In addition to providing full IPS security protection from all the latest network attacks and threats, the tight integration of the security modules with the FW/VPN capability enables seamless and simple management of the entire gateway.
“Electronic network security and reliability are as essential to China’s sustained growth as the physical infrastructure of the country’s railway system,” added Zhang. “Organisations such as the Ministry of Railways are recognising the high-performance reliability of our security solutions and we are pleased that Juniper’s solutions are helping to ensure the smooth operation of mission-critical systems across China.”
