WASHINGTON, DC--(Marketwire - October 21, 2010) - Information Builders, an independent leader in business intelligence (BI) solutions, today announced its upcoming Government Symposium, a conference for partners, customers, and prospects focused on the theme of Data Governance and Transparency. The symposium will take place on October 28, 2010 at the Marriott Renaissance Hotel, Washington DC. In association with immixGroup, Inc. and featuring Gartner Research, the event will focus on how government agencies can benefit from complying with organizational transparency requirements.
Speaker sessions will delve into how executives can address issues on information redundancy, transparency, and consistency -- in and across government agencies. Keynote speaker Michael Smith, vice president of Gartner, will discuss his most recent publication, Opportunities and Threats in a World of Greater Transparency. In addition, Chief Information Officer Stephen Hollifield of the Richmond Virginia Police Department and other government executives will offer firsthand experiences in an informative panel discussion on best practices for information management and transparency in the public sector.
"With new requirements for sharing information and being radically transparent with the public, many organizations struggle with how to quickly access and tap into the right data," said Bill Lochten, director of Information Builders' Federal operations. "This summit will explore ways organizations can tackle transparency requirements head-on, integrating them into their mission and objectives by transforming the way they think about their current information strategy."
Other key takeaways from the conference will include:
- Emphasizing data quality in meeting transparency goals at all government levels
- Moving from insight into past performance to predicting future trends
- Expanding management tools from spreadsheets to extended solutions such as mobile reporting, enterprise search, and self-sufficient reporting at the user level
