NIIS has selected Gofore to develop X-Road technology of Estonia and Finland

Nordic Institute for Interoperability Solutions (NIIS) has selected Gofore Plc in public procurement as a cooperation partner to develop X-Road data exchange layer technology. This framework agreement is made for three years, and Gofore is the sole supplier. The estimated value of the framework agreement is 2.1 MEUR.

“In the cooperation, the core components of X-Road are developed by using agile software development methods”, says Ville Sirviö, CEO of NIIS.

X-Road is an open source data exchange layer solution that enables organizations to exchange information over the Internet. X-Road ensures confidentiality, integrity and interoperability between data exchange parties. 

X-Road technology is used nationwide in the Estonian public administration (X-tee) and in the Finnish Suomi.fi Data Exchange Layer (Suomi.fi-palveluväylä) service. Finland's and Estonia's data exchange layers were connected to one another in February 2018.
