ATLANTA, GA--(Marketwire - Aug 20, 2012) - GFIRST -- Actiance (www.actiance.com), helping organizations benefit from new forms of communications and collaboration, will present at the GFIRST 2012 National Conference. Sarah Carter, general manager of social business, will discuss how the public sector should best address compliance challenges and management with the constant evolution of communication and collaboration tools.
As advanced technologies continue to weave more intricately into all aspects of the business world, government and other regulated industries are embracing these new communication and collaboration tools, which include Twitter, Facebook and LinkedIn. It is important to understand how to successfully implement these tools into everyday business practices while keeping in line with current compliance standards.
Title: Entering the twilight zone of collaboration
When: Tuesday, August 21 at 10:30am EDT
Where: The Atlanta Marriott Marquis, International room 6/7

"Social collaboration can drive serious benefits for government organizations by enabling teleworking, delivering cost saving and aiding better decision making," said Carter. "Cultural change, data security and content retention requirements often challenge departments in these new communications mediums."
