ORGANIZATIONAL PRINCIPLES 1.Data virtualization (or data abstraction) – As data consumer, organizations do not care about the specifics of the data source. The only thing they know is that data exists and it is authentic. 2.Simple contractual model – Organizations sign one single contract and use data from all organizations according to their legal mandate – Single contract for both data consumption and data provider 3.Centralized management – Provides more agility – in case of changes, these can be applied much more dynamically – Reduces the costs, both capex and opex 4.Centralized and transparent data access – Centralized authority for granting data access 5.Full alignment with European Interoperability Framework 2.0

TECHNICAL PRINCIPLES 1.Simplicity in connection – In order to connect to MConnect you need to authenticate to MConnect exposed interfaces 2.Non-invasive integration – Re-use IT systems connectivity with minimum or no changes – MConnect is adapting to IT systems and not vice versa 3.Use of open standards – Ensures future-proof of solution, technical compatibility and reduced costs 4.Independent/distributed data sources – No data source re-organization is necessary – No data gets copied or moved 5.Multitenant architecture – Every organization has its own isolated integration environment
