The Sharing and Reuse Framework for IT Solutions (PDF)

Developed in the context of European Union ISA programme, the Sharing and Reuse Framework for IT Solutions addresses EU, national, regional and local public administrations that aim at reducing costs, increasing their efficiency and fostering interoperability by reusing, sharing or jointly developing IT solutions that meet common requirements. The framework should be taken into account by decision makers, legal professionals, IT architects, developers and communication experts when:

1.    Sharing a tool once it has been developed or sharing the provision of a service

2.    Reusing existing tools or using an existing services; and

3.    Collaborating in the development of a tool or service.

The framework puts forward 10 key recommendations that public administrations are encouraged to follow in order to promote the sharing and reuse of IT solutions in the public sector. It is important that central governments also support this process by creating a climate of innovation in their administrations, encouraging staff to take an active role in the process and promoting the use of information and communication technologies. To facilitate this effort, the SRF also includes 19 supporting measures which specifically target central organisations.

The final version of the Framework is the result of the consultation conducted between 25 May and 29 June 2016.
