Dear Government Executive:

Identity management is becoming increasingly important to the business operations of every organization. Whether you are part of a Federal agency, state or local government or private industry, moving forward means rethinking how you do business in every area, helping to make sure that the right people have access to information and facilities while protecting and preventing access to those that shouldn’t. This is no longer limited to just people in your own organization. The effective use of identity and trust makes this possible. Because of HSPD-12, Federal employees and contractors now have PIV cards. But is this the end or the beginning? As Winston Churchill pointed out, perhaps this is the end of the beginning.

Progress requires innovation and/or transformation. That requires looking at what we do and seeking to make use of new and effective tools to help us do our jobs better. Not sure how to do it? Then this conference is for you. You will hear from those who are already making progress. Everything from making use of the PIV, operating in emergency conditions, outreach to the private sector to interactions with citizens will be covered. The tools of identity aren’t the end; they are enablers to help you do your job better.

YOU CAN’T AFFORD TO NOT ATTEND!

Attend the Identity Management for Government Conference on September 13-15, 2010 in Washington, DC and learn how to take advantage of new capabilities, help move the government forward, better serve the nation, and increase capability while still promoting security and privacy. You will hear insights, backed up by experience, in an engaging environment, on how identity management tools have been brought to bear to make government agencies more effective, including how:

• U.S. General Services Administration implemented a logical access credential management project at a low cost
• Defense Manpower Data Center has been aggressively working to accommodate federated credentials, without sacrificing the security of the U.S. Department of Defense, despite its unique working situations
• Commonwealth of Virginia used its FRAC Program to expedite response and recovery efforts in emergency situations by facilitating an efficient verification of identity and attributes/skill sets and protecting responders from unauthorized access
• U.S. Department of Homeland Security has begun shaping the national security landscape by encouraging State and local government organizations to engage private sector partners in focusing on mutual interests that include planning, protective measures and strategic response/recovery efforts

The time is now. In recent history, there has never been a better time for innovation and transformation. Strong initiatives for transparency, reinforced by penalties for non-performing programs, make business as usual unacceptable. Inclusion of identity management into the Federal Enterprise Architecture means you will have to do more toward this end. Most importantly, being able to serve your customers better, more effectively and more efficiently, is the right thing to do.

This conference is the ideal forum for you to share successes and challenges, get ideas and suggestions, learn proven methods, processes and approaches for identity management.  Call, toll-free, 888-362-7400 or visit www.aliconferences.com to register yourself and your colleagues, today!
