whitepaper Corrections Department Upgrades System to Meet Changing Business Needs2008-01-01 Microsoft
  The New Zealand Department of Corrections depends on its Integrated Offender Management System (IOMS) to manage offenders in prison, on parole, or serving community-based sentences. With IOMS technology reaching end-of-life, the system became increasingly difficult to modify to support evolving business requirements. To more closely align IOMS with business needs, the department decided to migrate the system to a service-oriented architecture and the Microsoft .NET Framework 3.0. Microsoft Gold Certified Partner Intergen assisted the Department of Corrections in selecting Windows Workflow Foundation for business process modeling, for Web services coordination, and as a rules engine. Integrated with familiar Microsoft Visual Studio tools, Windows Workflow Foundation helps abstract business rules so that department developers can modify IOMS in days instead of weeks.
