With this project, which arises from the need to comply with one of several measures required by SIMPLEX + government program, specifically measure # 73, the request for the most common and predefined certificates can be carried out immediately, facilitating citizens' lives, one of the objectives of Program SIMPLEX +
The project was implemented using Java, Apache, Tomcat and Web Services REST technologies.
