2. WHAT IS SAFEER ?
In 2008 it was the beginning of SAFFER, With launching
Kingdom Scholarship Program. The Ministry predicted
the potential need for electronic systems that serve the
scholarship students, facilitate their demands, and
make them fully dedicated to their education.
3. Our Vision
“All Beneficiaries should be empowered
to complete their transactions easily,
promptly and efficiently through
distinctive electronic services”

Subject: A Successful Approach towards Integrating Applications and e-Services
Ministry of Education Enterprise Service Bus hereby referred to as ESB automates public and private business processes in order to improve efficiency and productivity.
The primary characteristics of the ESB
MOE service bus is a centralized broker that handles security, access, and communication. the enterprise service bus (ESB) model that acts as a SOAP-oriented services manager. become the beating heart for SAFEER applications; which required from our side to give MSB the needed attention from our believes that E-services is the next stage of evaluation the e-business. by recruit an expert team in the field of integrating and e-service that work day and night to support all different application in MOE and other parties
An enterprise service bus is a software architecture model used for designing and implementing communication between mutually interacting software applications in a service-oriented architecture.
What is an ESB?
An Enterprise Service Bus (ESB) is fundamentally an architecture. It is a set of rules and principles for integrating numerous applications together over a bus-like infrastructure. ESB products enable users to build this type of architecture, but vary in the way that they do it and the capabilities that they offer. The core concept of the ESB architecture is that you integrate different applications by putting a communication bus between them and then enable each application to talk to the bus. This decouples systems from each other, allowing them to communicate without dependency on or knowledge of other systems on the bus. The concept of ESB was born out of the need to move away from point-to-point integration, which becomes brittle and hard to manage over time. Point-to-point integration results in custom integration code being spread among applications with no central way to monitor or troubleshoot. This is often referred to as "spaghetti code" and does not scale because it creates tight dependencies between applications.
Why use an ESB?
Increasing organizational agility by reducing time to market for new initiatives is one of the most common reasons that companies implement an ESB as the backbone of their IT infrastructure. An ESB architecture facilitates this by providing a simple, well defined, "pluggable" system that scales really well. Additionally, an ESB provides a way to leverage your existing systems and expose them to new applications using its communication and transformation capabilities
with Highest international technical and security standards to be used as a host for the e-Government National Portal "Saudi" and the e-Government Program "YESSER". This network has enabled the e-Government Data Center to be the effective, cost-saving and unifying Link for interconnecting all Government Agencies with one another.

One click enough to verify the candidate eligibility for scholarship with 5 government agencies
One click enough to verify the candidate eligibility for scholarship with over 10 local system
•Unifying the Mechanism of reliably, yet effectively interconnecting and linking Government Agencies.
•Providing higher speeds in data-transportation.
•Providing a confidential and secure medium for data-transportation.
•Easy future expansions as per requirements of each stage in addition that such expansions can be applied to any types of data among Government Agencies.
•Business Process Integration and Messaging. Pass data and messages between different internal processes using approx. 31 main services providing over 950 functional services that connect the systems with each other.
•Centralized IT Governance.
ESB system is the main link to ministry systems for the external entities and systems.
•Always Up and Always On Enterprise Services. An enterprise platform to provide 24/7 connectivity with maximum security provided through best practices of transport and message security.
•Highly scalable and maximum throughput. Using state of the art integration solutions and built on a foundation of the full spectrum of integration capabilities to provide service to Government agencies, organization and individuals without any interruption.
•Fast Response Time .Stable delivery of services is provided in line with the ultimate goal to serve all the ministry systems from various departments efficiently with a very high response time to meet the users needs.
The use of Internet is increasing in all areas. It is still noteworthy that development of electronic services in public sector has not been as rapid as in the area of e-business. From citizens point of view it would be important to allow access to services and public decision making through the Internet. Electronic services have significant potential, but they may also transform structures in public organizations. Here, we look at the development of electronic services in public sector organizations. In the public sector these services are called e-Services when they are made accessible to the users through Internet. The development of e-Services face a number of challenges – it is not an easy to realize the potential of technology. Could experiences from e-business development be used in public sector? The potential benefits are almost identical, however in public sector there are administrative and departmental barriers that need to be crossed in order to create value to the user of electronic services.
Summary
The goal for this SOA implementation is essential to deliver the business agility and IT flexibility and will require an environment that is based on the following key principles:
•ESB will the starting point that will be a guide to a coherent set that has been assembled for the Universities domain
•The policies and the frameworks will ensure that the right services are provided and consumed
•It will allow consumers to remain focused on the application architecture instead of the component and will not need to care about the detail of the provided services.
