Levy and de Kerckhove consider CI from a mass communications perspective, focusing on the ability of networked ICT’s to enhance the community knowledge pool. They suggest that these communications tools enable humans to interact and to share and collaborate with both ease and speed.

At RKTEK, Inc. we have been designing solutions that are person-centric, and CI oriented in a cloud computing model.

Our CI architecture provides for an e-Government solution that can integrate the various government agencies and ministries with the person/citizen as their common denominator. It establishes an adaptive federated framework for collecting, codifying, normalizing, and cross referencing various segments of citizen related dataset captured by each government agency and ministry into a multi-dimensional national intelligence data warehouse. Collectively, the whole becomes greater than the sum of its parts.

A subset of the CI architecture is our e-Health solution. Anywhere, anytime health care information and decision support is what it is all about. An architecture to build a platform for the electronic capture, access, use, exchange and storage of quality healthcare data. It can realize and resolve the challenge of inter-operability and integration among the health care stakeholders. The architecture is federated, service oriented, and patient-centric. It enables the electronic movement of health-related information among organizations according to nationally recognized standards. This allows the existing systems to maintain their autonomy locally, while inter-operating within a federated governance model which brings together health care stakeholders within a defined geographic area and governs health information exchange among them for the purpose of improving health care in that community.
