| | 11:50 - 12:10 | | Physical to Virtual - the Data Centre of 2010 Cloud computing is the phrase on everybody’s lips and it constantly sparks much debate. Can 'cloud' truly be a fundamental part of the next generation of IT services? Does cloud computing bring continued availability & always on computing, whilst meeting the 'cost me less provide me more' demand trend? Our session will examine the fundamental basis of 'cloud' through the provision of an Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) framework that is today's Virtual Data Centre (VDC). The session will review considerations in relation to the availability, security and portability from a physical to a virtual data centre environment in a private in-house or outsourced framework and subjects we will cover will be: • Migrating to an Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) virtual data centre (VDC) framework • Ensuring Availability and continuous access through IaaS • Security and data portability • Simple steps to take before 'promoting to production' Simon Withers, strategy & development, SunGard Availability Services | |

| | 14:40 - 15:00 | | Telephony Cost Savings through Government Communities of Interest Most industry leaders and technologists recognise the power that UCC solutions can bring to their organisations in terms of hard cost savings, as well as increased productivity and customer satisfaction. The most efficient implementation of these solutions is via a centralised model. Verizon's SIP Trunking Voice solutions can leverage these networks providing significant cost savings. Through Verizon's Enterprise Routing service, anyone using Verizon's VoIP services can call each other for FREE across the network. This is particularly useful for Government which works with specific chains of suppliers and agencies, resulting in a reasonably tight 'Community of Interest'.

| | 15:20 - 15:40 | | Enable smarter government… one process at a time Experience in the UK public sector with mega IT programmes is mixed. Plagued by runaway expectations and organisational inertia they have often run over budget and failed to deliver the expected benefits. IT certainly has a part to play in efficient public service delivery and the effective use of software is at the heart of this role. If the way to make step change improvements is not to spend billions, what is it? This seminar will argue the case that significant improvements in both efficiency and effectiveness can be made for modest outlays, provided that IT and business stakeholders use the right approaches and work together. Tim Holyoake, public sector business consultant, Software AG (UK) Limited | |

| | 16:00 - 16:20 | | Work Efficiently. Make better decisions. Enabling the decision making process within your organisation via Rich Internet Applications How many decisions are made in your organisation each week without access to the correct information? How much time does your employee community waste as they delay making decisions? How much more effective could your organisation be if decisions were made at the right time with the right information. Most businesses have complex approval processes, involving numerous staff, multiple systems and often without access to all of the necessary information. Data checking, information requests and approval processing are frustratingly time consuming – and the more complex the procedures the greater the error risk. This presentation will show how Rich Internet Applications based on Service Oriented Architecture can unlock data held in ERP solutions and present it in a streamlined, harmonized form providing the user with both the context and the tools for effective and efficient decision making. James Woodhouse, head of business applications, Keytree | |
