What does it take to recover from a disaster? Heading into hurricane season, many federal, state and local governments will be testing continuity of operations plans (COOP). Some will find that while cloud solutions may be useful, most are still unlikely to play a leading role in recovery operations. Understanding key technological and implementation factors can make all of the difference in maintaining the availability of mission-critical operations.  Best-in-class solutions must integrate backup, storage and recovery.  Capacity management must also play an important role.

Attend this complimentary, educational i360Gov webinar to learn the latest techniques and tactics to help keep ongoing COOP plans in tip-top shape, from leading government subject matter experts.

Who should attend this webinar:

• Federal and State/Local government policy and technology professionals who are involved with disaster recovery / COOP (continuity of operations) strategy and initiatives.  Embedded government contractors may also register and attend.

All webinar registrants will receive a complimentary copy of i360Gov's new special report on this topic.

The age of big data has officially arrived in government.  Storage systems are near capacity as the amount of information the federal government captures has increased exponentially since 2000, and is projected to double every year going forward.  This new information, effectively captured, managed, and analyzed, has the power to enhance profoundly the effectiveness of government.  Yet government CIOs and their staffs must rise to the big data challenge at a time when IT budgets are flat or shrinking, data centers are being consolidated, and new skills are required to manage, analyze and apply these massive amounts of data.

Join i360Gov’s panel of government subject matter experts for this 60 minute webinar as they present an overview of the big data landscape, discuss current big data initiatives in government, and provide actionable analysis and best-practice advice that you can apply to your agency’s big data strategy.

Learn how public sector organizations are utilizing archiving and eDiscovery technology to lower costs and risks, address legal challenges and make compliance with FOIA productions more efficient.

Unfortunately, ensuring that government data is accessible for FOIA and litigation remains a thorny challenge and becomes increasingly challenging when data is created and travels across multiple mediums. However, government organizations can implement technology to reduce the risks related to eDiscovery and FOIA compliance. Moreover, once in-house capabilities are adopted, they can be used for both FOIA and litigation.

eDiscovery is an important issue for both federal and state and local agencies. Not only has information governance and eDiscovery recently been addressed in the Presidential Mandate and the Digital Government Strategy, but NASCIO has placed eDiscovery in the top ten list for 2012, especially as related to records management, archiving and digital preservation.

Speakers include:

• Allison Stanton, Director of E-Discovery, Office of the Assistant Attorney General, Department of Justice, Civil Division
• Joan Moumbleaux, J.D., M.L.I.S., an information professional within NOAA’s Fisheries Restoration Center
• Allison Jane Walton, eDiscovery Counsel in PMM, Symantec Corporation

Download this on-demand webinar to learn how the right archiving and eDiscovery tools and workflows:

• Can execute a common classification and retention schedule across in the archive
• Perform federated searched across critical data sources
• Bring context and relevance to information to help individuals and organizations find what information they need, when they need it, saving time and money
• Enable government entities to quickly adapt to the new federal mandate, while simultaneously reducing risks in crucial areas such as: legal/litigation services, investigative operations and in improving the production time for Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests.

Most agencies admit they lack visibility and it takes much too long to get the data it needs to make better decisions.  Why is this?

1. Data is no longer only in traditional systems. It's everywhere and it is complex – high volumes, numerous varieties and varying velocities.
2. Business - IT collaboration is inefficient and involves a lot of back-and-forth and is prone to errors.
3. It is difficult to provide access to data that the agency can readily use and fully trust.

It's time to start gaining the operational visibility your agency needs!

Watch Informatica’s Ash Parikh and QlikTech's Ian Crosland combine forces in agility in a discussion that will reveal the ability to perform quick, flexible, visual, dashboard analysis  to enable trusted operational visibility.

To successfully deploy an effective Health Information Exchange, states need to deploy a number of key technologies.  While there are a variety of different architectural models for an HIE, each model will need one or more of the following:

• A Network Infrastructure capable of reliably and securely exchanging data between participants in the HIE
• An application to interpret requests from HIE participants, respond and/or route requests from those participants as appropriate.
• Data Integration Services
• Master Patient Index (Patient Matching)
• Master Provider Index (Provider Matching)
• Record Locator Service to help determine routing for HIE requests

This educational webinar will delve into each of these key technological requirements and how these technologies work together to provide the core services of a Health Information Exchange.
