ESI Announces E-Government Application that Determines, Calculates and Explains Eligibility for Government Benefits

HERZLIYA, Israel, April 2 /PRNewswire/ -- ESI -- Expert Solutions International (www.esi-knowledge.com) today announced GovLogist -- an e- government application that determines and calculates citizen's eligibility for government benefits such as health insurance, social security insurance, disability benefits, tax benefits, etc. At the same time, the application provides the citizen with an opportunity to get an online explanation regarding his/her eligibility calculation.

"GovLogist is an objective and accurate tool that eliminates error-prone interpretations and promotes social justice," said Hemy Fintsy, Vice President, Marketing and Sales, ESI. "The citizen benefits from a responsive e-government and is fully informed of how the eligibility was calculated. " GovLogist helps authorities to implement eligibility policies and procedures in the most just and efficient manner possible. The citizens' ability to obtain information regarding their eligibility calculation can dramatically improve satisfaction and trust in government institutions.

GovLogist is based on Logist, a knowledge-based software that collects the organization's logic from various sources, such as human knowledge and experience, procedures and policies. Logist, a rules-based software, displays the organization's logic as rules written in natural human language. These rules are used for automated decision-making, while preserving the reasoning and using it to create a visual explanation to the user or the citizen.

Organization's executives and employees can share their knowledge through a special knowledge chat room that is an integral part of the system. Citizens can comment and share their thoughts with government authorities. The software understands human language, and new or updated rules are immediately put into action. Thousands of policies and procedures can be quickly and easily loaded into Logist, including those that are hidden inside software applications.
