GovSpecs Value Proposition

GovSpecs Value Proposition

Value Propositions

Governments, the priority user group of GovSpecs, shall be able to achieve the following:

  1. System Architecture: Planning of a system architecture and its software components

  2. Building Block Scope: Scoping and gathering of functional requirements of software components

  3. National Interoperability: Standardizing interface requirements to improve technical interoperability

  4. International Interoperability: Follow GovStack’s recommendations to join international interoperability agreements and therefore enable cross-border use cases

  5. User Experience: Use GovStack’s recommendation and patterns to unify UI and UX of government services

  6. AI-Readiness (new with GovSpecs Strategy 2.0): Let AI consume Building Block API endpoints to customize citizen services using Building Blocks

Software providers, the secondary user group of GovSpecs, shall be able to achieve the following:

  1. Government needs: Understand the needs of clients. GovSpecs can serve as orientation of the minimum functional scope a government would request.

These value propositions are especially true if scope of software component = scope of GovStack Building Block

For value proposition 1, GovStack offers in its specifications the “Architecture and Nonfunctional Requirements” for overall system architecture planning as well as for each Building Block a high-level “Description” to identify the software components which scope resembles GovStack Building Blocks.

For value proposition 2, GovStack offers in its specifications “Key Digital Functionalities”, “Functional Requirements”, “Data Structures” and individually additional chapters to define the functional scope of a Building Block in a planned system architecture.

For value proposition 3 and 4, GovStack offers in its specifications architectural “cross-cutting requirements” as well as “Service API” to improve technical interoperability between software components and Building Blocks.
