The Obama administration came in with a promise of openness, and faith that Web technology will help deliver it. In this Webinar, we’ll discuss where in the federal bureaucracy technology has the potential to drive openness. We’ll examine the various Websites already in use or being developed, like Recovery.gov and Data.gov, to see how they’re contributing to openness. We’ll draw on discussions with federal IT leaders for insight into how these and other transparency efforts are going. We’ll also look at what’s standing in the way of expanding openness, where technology isn’t helping, and what the future likely holds.

Cloud computing is coming to a data center near you. The savings that can be gained by outsourcing processing to a cloud service, combined with the ability to quickly scale to meet demand, are compelling. But before you consider cloud computing, you first have to consider the changes that will take place within your own organization and the requirements a cloud provider will need to meet in order to provide a secure and reliable service. In this Webcast, we will discuss the governance issues surrounding cloud computing and its impact on the organization.
