Governance - Framework for Success for Shared IT

A shared service is defined as a function that is provided by one organization to multiple organizations, intra- or inter-agency.  Shared services are mandated under the authorities of the IT Reform Agenda’s 25-Point Plan as well as other OMB circulars and issuances.  A diverse panel of government experts will examine ways to promote the use of intra- and inter-agency shared services for mission and support functions.

The panel will discuss recommendations that enable CIOs and Federal executives to implement shared services within their organizations, to include eliminating wasteful spending that results from duplicative systems, reducing the support costs of redundant IT resources, improving efficiencies and streamlining IT through commoditization, improving transparency of available shared services across government, and finally, leveraging principles of Future First in approach to shared services to improve interoperability, and establish common standards.

10:40am - 11:45pm

Data Center Panel:
Cooking Up Data Center Savings

OMB is looking to drive $5 billion in cost savings from the FDCCI initiative by 2015. Agencies know how many data centers their supposed to unplug. The question is how agencies go about cutting data centers to deliver the target savings?

A public-private forum, the MeriTalk Data Center Exchange focuses on enhancing Federal data center outcomes. Working collaboratively with Federal and industry data center execs, MeriTalk developed the Data Center Consolidation Cookbook. It provides how-to recipes for FDCCI collaboration to drive real savings.

This session will provide insider insights on FDCCI, metrics on progress and savings to date, common agency best practices and challenges -- all in the context of leafing through Consolidation Cookbook.
