“IMPLEMENTATION OF A DATA GOVERNANCE STRATEGY: A DEEPER DIVE!”
Presented by: Peter Kohler, Optim, Guardium and Discovery Business Unit Executive, IBM
Discussion:The volume and variety of digital information is exploding as our Planet becomes more instrumented, interconnected and intelligent. Current economic times require corporations and governments to analyze new information faster and make timely decisions for achieving business goals within budget. Look around you and think about all the new types of information your organization is collecting that it previously did not capture 10, 5 or even a single year ago. How do you manage and protect this information today? Is your organization able to harness this data to drive smarter business outcomes and ensure your company is prepared for the future? In this session we will discuss best practices to master the complete lifecycle of information, establish sustainable management of information quality and security and enable IT to make information more accessible and meaningful to the business. Learn how an effective governance strategy can enable IT and business to collaborate more effectively by ensuring information is aligned to business goals. Understand how your organization can take a holistic approach to improve operational efficiency by reducing risk and wasted time and cost associated with finding, understanding and managing information. |

“OPTIMIZING US GOVERNMENT SOFTWARE PROGRAMS – WHY AND HOW TO MODERNIZE”
Presented by: Pete DuPre, Chief Solutions Architect, Applications Management and Quality Division, MicroFocus
Discussion: US Federal Government IT spending is $78.5B this year. Typically, 50% of an IT budget is attributable to software development and maintenance - an estimated $39B of our US Federal Government IT spend. When you consider that software development organizations with industry-typical SDLC process maturity will have a 40% rework rate – the math is alarming.
Can we afford for the US Federal Agencies software development organizations to spend $15B a year on unproductive rework?
Other statistics regarding software projects tell more of the story:
- Only 32% of software projects are considered successful (Standish Group’s CHAOS Summary 2009)
- 70% of defects in production are introduced in the requirements stage (Gartner, 2009)
There has been plenty of talk about improving software requirements: CMMI and other models provide plenty of guidance for maturing in requirements definition & management, yet agencies still struggle with this. How can we improve the situation? Requirements management and definition are key evaluation factors in the Federal IT Dashboard – you cannot avoid this issue.

LUNCHEON KEYNOTE: “DEVELOPING AN INFORMATION GOVERNANCE STRATEGY”
Presented by: Peter Kohler, Optim, Guardium and Discovery Business Unit Executive, IBM
Discussion: Information is the lifeblood of the global economy. Information Governance is the business activity of coordinating communication and collaboration to achieve sustainable results - Semantic Consistency, Data Quality, Single View of the Truth, Trusted Information, and Security & Privacy are all desired business outcomes that depend on Information Governance. In this presentation, we will discuss these challenges and explore real-world examples of how organizations have succeeded with Information Governance. The challenges they faced and solutions they discovered are contextual to each firm and circumstance, but together these examples offer insight into common issues and non-obvious systemic solutions. |

Robert Naylor, CIO, Federal Communications Commission

“IS SECURITY COMPLIANCE THE NEW THREAT?”
Moderated by: Patricia Edfors, Partner, Banrion Consulting LLC
Panelists:Dara Murray, CISO, Program Support Center, Dept. of Health and Human Services
Michael Castagna, CISO, SallieMae
P.J. Warwick, Partner, Ryan Sharkey
Discussion: Both the private and public sectors are inundated with compliance requirements. Whether it is laws like FISMA, HIPAA, Sarbanes Oxley or state breach notifications, or regulations like those promulgated by the HHS or FFIEC, or standards like ISO, NIST, PCI, organizations have to devote significant resources for ensuring and proving their compliance. Some believe that diverting the majority of resources to just meeting compliance may mean that organizations are not truly addressing the real threats to their specific environments; while others believe that if you truly address the compliance requirements, you are addressing the majority of threats to any organization. This panel of experts will discuss the pros and cons of compliance management against those of true risk management. |

SPECIAL KEYNOTE: “LEADERSHIP”
Presented by: Col. Anthony A. Wood, USMC (Ret.)
Presentaion: In April 1975 Colonel Wood was a Marine Captain put in charge of the development and execution of the surface evacuation of Saigon. His revealing description of the real heroes involved in that historic and risky operation, and his interaction with them (often in secret), is a study in generational understanding and leadership. Hear first hand from a decorated Marine officer . . . who was there! This is an untold tale of heroism and sacrifice during the final evacuation.
