SPRINGBOARD
A Standards-Based Interoperability Program

The Springboard Initiative (SBI) is a new IJIS Institute standards-based interoperability program designed to help advance information sharing associated with the justice, public safety and homeland security operational environments. Through this program, the IJIS Institute will work with sponsor organizations to provide a shared resource venue to industry for the evaluation and testing of relevant information sharing and interoperability standards, to include:

  • Evaluation of standards by industry through a consensus management process.
  • Testing of standards in an "applied" implementation testing environment.
  • Generation of engineering reports, reference implementations, and other best practice assets.
  • "Certification" of products and implementations through a compliant conformance management process.
  • Stewardship of standards and SBI work products through standards governance partnerships.
