The crunch to compete, evaluate and award funding associated with the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) of 2009 is creating enormous challenges. Because so much of the $787 billion economic stimulus package will be dispersed in the next 18 months, this Webcast will reveal key implications for federal, state and local government organizations – each of whom must somehow appropriate funding, while providing transparency on spending and allocating monies that will ultimately improve operations and deliver more services. Industry observers claim more than $100 billion will go toward technological advances related to expanding broadband networks and services, building a nationwide electrical ‘smartgrid’ along with related green technologies, and optimizing healthcare IT. Up first, however, are ongoing efforts to support federal IT modernization, including data center improvements for the State Department, Social Security Administration, Department of Veterans Affairs and others.

Convergence of IT and physical (fleet, facilities, utilities) business assets is progressing rapidly, making traditional approaches of managing them separately difficult. In addition, consolidation of asset management systems is a significant trend, offering benefits that logically translate to maximizing a government agency’s appropriations. The trend is real, and proven by successful consolidation programs that have resulted in significant benefits. However, a consolidation program is rarely simple and can offer as much risk as it does reward. In the February 2008 Information Technology Association of America’s Eighteenth Annual Survey of Federal Chief Information Officers, federal IT managers said consolidation was their second-biggest challenge.
This Webcast discusses the potential benefits of using IBM asset and service management to address convergence and consolidation requirements. Some relevant examples of successful programs will be provided.

The Federal Desktop Core Configuration (FDCC) mandate requires government agencies to comply with standard Windows XP and Vista security configurations. One of the greatest challenges of the FDCC is the requirement to restrict administrative rights on all PCs. Administrative rights must be restricted in order to ensure that users do not change the mandated standard security configurations. During this educational and informative Webcast you'll learn how to Eliminate users from running as local Administrator or Power User to comply with the FDCC; Allow users without Administrative Rights to run all required applications and processes; Enable restricted users to self install approved applications and ActiveX controls; and Allow restricted users to perform approved system level configurations, such as connecting to local printers and defragmenting the hard drive.

The government is the largest producer, collector, consumer and disseminator of information in the United States. Today, its citizens are more technically savvy than ever before: they buy services and items online, they use search engines to gather and search for data; they create profiles in online forums, Facebook, Linked-In and Twitter to communicate, collaborate and interact with each other.
As a result more and more people reach out to government seeking ways to improve their daily lives via online interactions, making it is essential that government agencies leverage similar technologies to not only engage citizens in developing its services, but also meet the growing demand of transparency across government. However, many of the commercially available social networking services are not designed to be used by public servants. Join us to discover what existing technologies and best practices can be used to improve the interactive link between government and its citizens.

Defense agencies are managing multiple systems of records; they have inconsistent data for decision making; and they lack a single source of truth for their data. As a result, conflicts and discrepancies can arise, with the potential for adversely impacting mission effectiveness and combat support. When based on faulty or unsynchronized data, inaccurate and costly strategic decisions and processes can result, leading to extended decision cycle time, inaccurate risk assessments are inaccurate, and user dissatisfaction. During this Webcast, you'll hear examples of how organizations are employing enterprise-data-management solutions to improve processes and provide transparency. You'll learn how solutions for data management are enabling organizations to consolidate, harmonize, and provide accurate reporting.

Enabling Health Information Exchanges for Biosurveillance and Public Safety - This Webcast overviews a pilot project in Montana that demonstrates the ability to rapidly develop and deploy an affordable Health Information Exchange (HIE) that facilitates effective biosurveillance for prevention as well as response. This project has created an interoperable information infrastructure that moves data among four hospital Emergency Departments and to the National Center for Health Care Informatics and to the Montana Department of Public Health and Human Services. When appropriate, data of interest can then be transmitted to the Department of Homeland Security. This system supports better management of routine as well as emergency operations where potentially high mortality or morbidity situations demand regional and possibly national priority.
