Success Stories

The Tactical Infrastructure Enterprise Services Coalition Warfare Program (TIES CWP) used NIEM to improve interoperability and information sharing between the U.S. and coalition partners. During a June 2014 demonstration, the U.S. Army successfully exchanged Position Reports, Air Track information, and Observed Position Reports with coalition partners using NIEM 3.0-conformant messages through a request-response web service environment. This is the first time this type of information has been exchanged among participants.

The U.S. Army has taken several foundational steps to introduce the NIEM

The North Carolina Families Accessing Services Through Technology (NC FAST) Program introduces new technological tools and business processes that will enable the North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services and the 100 county departments of social services to spend less time performing administrative tasks and more time assisting families.

The use of NIEM helped facilitate the design and implementation of services and message exchanges that are common to many HHS services in most states, so they can be reused. This provided other states with the opportunity to reuse and build upon a

The Shared Computer Operations for the Protection and Enforcement (SCOPE) II is a regional initiative to modernize and replace 35- and 45-year-old public safety legacy information systems.

SCOPE II enables 80 law enforcement and justice agencies at every level of government to share information to provide enhanced 24/7 public safety and justice services.

Information was sometimes up to 36 hours old—a risk when law enforcement needed up-to-date information to make decisions on public and personal safety. With funding from the National Crime Information Center Information Sharing Act and in partnership with DOJ, DOC completed two projects to better identify offenders and share real-time information. Offenders are identified through the Synchronization Process, which sends fingerprint images

Like many jurisdictions across the country, Pima County, Arizona faces challenges managing offender care and their successful re-entry into the community as service demands increase and budgets decrease. The Pima County Justice-Health Integration Initiative used NIEM to leverage participating stakeholder information systems, establishing a standard vocabulary so the agencies could share information and translate the content into the language of each system.
