Identity Management Consolidation: Best Practices from New York City
Changing a $6.7 billion organization that runs 20 hospitals and 80 community-based clinics in New York City is no small task. But with no fewer than eight different Active Directory domains in the organization, the infrastructure for managing user identities and access control was fragmented and inefficient. Corey Cush, VP of Infrastructure Services for NYC’s Health and Hospital Corporation, knew that some order needed to be imposed on the chaos.
Cutting the Cost of Virtualization: Hype or Reality?
Once implemented, are your operations faster? Is the cost of ownership lower? Is it a viable reality?

City operations can be significantly improved with a city-wide wireless network built from MESH technology. The City of Chattanooga, well known to be a leader in innovation and networking, built such a network and now runs more than 50 city-wide applications to manage its traffic, control its electrical power grid, and operate its water and sewer utilities.
October is Cyber Security Awareness Month - The 2012 Symantec Internet Security Threat Report
Did you know that in 2011, Symantec alone detected and blocked over 5.5 billion cyber attacks – nearly double the number from 2010. But it’s not just the sheer volume of attacks that’s worrisome. They’re also getting smarter and more sophisticated. Join Symantec’s Chief Security Strategist, Brian Tillett for an overview and analysis of the year in global threat activity.
Capturing Information from Citizen Mobile Devices
Governments legitimately require forms and documentation from constituents and customers before providing permits, licenses and other services. This can be quite problematical for field workers and the applicants, who need to find the documents, then bring them into the government office or find a fax machine to send them. Such documents might include proof of identity or an inspection report or a registration card. And the process often requires multiple trips to the office during business hours.
Next Generation Public Safety: Investing in Your Future to Improve Emergency Response
For the last 30-plus years, our emergency call centers have aided millions of people and helped save countless numbers of lives. However, times and communication technologies are changing rapidly. Older systems that have served us so well for so long are beginning to show their age. Increasingly, more agencies are sharing resources with neighboring city and county agencies to reduce costs and increase interoperability. More powerful, more effective new systems are on their way, driven by a convergence of social, technological and economic trends. You will learn how a regional interoperability project has evolved and how local agencies are using these new technologies to improve their emergency response.

$10 Billion Up for Grabs: Green Government is Good Government
The EPA tells us that cash-strapped state and local governments spend more than $10 billion every year to provide services and meet constituent needs. Then there are the costs to run the agencies, including purchasing, using and disposing of IT equipment, along with purchasing paper and printing supplies. Add to that the fact that government doesn’t often take advantage of trade-in and IT recycling programs, and the hidden cost of these inefficiencies is staggering.
If we change that, can government become fiscally and environmentally sustainable at the same time?
