Interoperability: Saving Lives and Money

Each year, our military, government and private industry spend billions and billions of dollars on information technology, but more than 30% of the money goes just to getting data shared between computer systems. These are unnecessary expenditures that also waste time, delay action, and have many negative effects on key sectors such as defense, security and healthcare – and on our society. Instead, by using an approach known as cross-domain interoperability, we can significantly reduce costs and speed up the exchange of vital information.
