Information Officer Guest Speaker – TBD, Apptio user

Session Description: Good companies in the private sector have been relentlessly focused on doing more with less with their IT budgets. The trends in hardware costs and networking costs have helped. Private companies have also adopted tools that enable them to understand and track the contributors to costs for the IT services that they provide. Washington State needs to emulate some of these examples and do more to understand and manage IT spending. IT leaders in WA State will also be called upon by the CIO to adopt these tools and be much more transparent about where IT dollars are being spent. This need

is being driven by the desire of the Executive (Governor’s office) and Legislators to understand how the $1 billion in annual IT spending contributes value to the citizens. Washington State agencies and business owners need to stretch every dollar to meet their mission. This talk will provide insight into the way IT spending will be measured and managed in Washington.

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++T-21 Single View of a Citizen: Using New Technology to Leverage Current Systems Across Departments and AgenciesTargeted Audience: CIO's, Application Business Analysts, Developers, Database AdministratorsSpeaker: Cate Richards, NA Smarter Cities Sales Leader, IBMSession Description: Islands of Citizen Data Reside in different systems, reducing service levels, decreasing collaboration between programs, and increasing costs and opportunity for abuses to defraud government programs due to inefficiencies. Often, Government agencies seeking to provide automated services to citizens or eliminate fraud, waste and abuse within government programs experience significant challenges because the information about a citizen, including their name, is stored in multiple databases – in multiple formats – with multiple identifiers that may not provide a simple key for matching or resolving. To facilitate services to citizens and decrease this "hidden cost of data", agencies seek ways to get a single, trusted, 360 degree view of the citizen across the various data sources that must be accessed to provide reliable information. This session will discuss the challenges agencies face with islands of citizen data, and new technology approaches being leveraged to solve them.
