Social Lean Canvas

Purpose

Make it easier, more reliable and secure to integrate government services by offering a modular standard software library

Problem

Many computer systems need to talk to various government services, but there is no existing standard software library to do that. This means that everyone is forced to build a custom solution, which is time-consuming, costly and often contains critical bugs.

Existing alternatives

None, institutions have to build their own solution.

Solution

Build and maintain a modular standard software library for key government services, a solution that is feature-complete and well-tested.

Key Metrics

  • Number of production deployments

  • Reduced cost of implementation

Unique Value Proposition

We give you simple, secure and reliable building blocks to lower the cost of your software solutions

Unfair Advantage

  • We have unique insight into non-profit and government digitalization needs

  • We have a huge existing expert volunteer community

  • We are a neutral player – not a government agency, not a business

  • We are trusted by government agencies

Channels

We have personal contacts with lots of organizations

Customer Segments

Anyone writing a computer system that is required to integrate a government service or would benefit from it

Early Adopters

TBD

Cost Structure

  • Small team of experts to run the project

  • Česko.Digital community support

Revenue

Partnerships with leading technology companies, software vendors using and supporting the project

Impact

  1. Issue – Institutions are implementing other institution’s APIs for every software. This leads to fragmented, un-secure and un-tested products.

  2. Participants – Government institutions and software vendors.

  3. Activity – We’ll develop and maintain a modular standard software library.

  4. Short-term outcome – We’ll finish a library for one of the most critical government services, including documentation and test environment.

  5. Mid-term outcome – Software vendors start using our libraries for their software delivered in public procurements.

  6. Long-term outcome – Our libraries will become standard building blocks of the most common platforms for creating software for local gov.

  7. Impact – Software vendors and in-house institutions teams will deliver software faster, cheaper and in a much more secure way.
