Cloud Computing: Insights and Impact
Defined as a pool of computing, storage and networking resources that can be allocated on demand, cloud computing resolves many federal government IT challenges by creating in effect a global information utility.
Using a pool of resources, cloud computing enables organizations to more efficiently allocate processors, memory, data storage, network bandwidth and services to meet the demands of any organization. It provides the ability for users to deploy compute capacity when needed and to accommodate sudden spikes in demand, by adding necessary resources.
Cloud computing also reduces the number of personnel required to build, support and maintain data centers, enabling agencies to refocus resources on mission-critical goals. Another benefit from the deployment of cloud computing is that resources can be metered and more effectively charged back to the organization based upon usage.

Samsung Printers Obtain Common Criteria Certificaton
Sensitive personnel information, medical records,strategic war plans, salary grade levels and countless other documents of all classification levels are printed, faxed, copied and scanned inside federal agencies every day. Without proper security controls, the information stored in the onboard memory of multifunction printers (MFPs) could be retrieved by unauthorized users. Federal defense and intelligence agencies recognize that users with unrestricted access to MFPs, or sensitive documents left in paper trays can lead to serious security breaches or information leaks. For this reason, federal defense and intelligence agencies must evaluate digital printers providing only the highest levels of security. Learn how Samsung printers can protect your important data...

In this white paper, you will learn why a comprehensive approach to seeing, accelerating, and securing your network traffic is essential to meeting the global challenges resulting from the need to consolidate resources while supporting an increasingly mobile work force.
The ECM Paradox: Extending Local Flexibility to Strengthen Central Control
An ECM system can dramatically improve the business productivity infrastructure of an organization. The benefits are substantial, but implementing a successful system requires lots of hard work, attention to detail and dedication.
An ECM system has to be an integral part of a business productivity infrastructure and improve operations within each business unit or regional office. But too many systems suffer from configuration and implementation bottlenecks, which result in cost overruns, project delays and a lack of buy-in from users. And navigating the ECM marketplace is a time-consuming task, with most messages influenced by vendors who have cobbled together a set of complicated tools.

With powerful, streamlined controls for records managers, systems analysts and IT, Rio empowers organizations with an enterprise-class solution that deliver concrete business results.
Enterprise Rights Management: Business Imperatives and Implementation Readiness
Enterprise Rights Management (ERM) compliments existing information security technologies. This report by The Gilbane Group includes a brief recap of the history of ERM, an outline of the ERM market study, and highlights of the survey results.
This ERM market study was designed to examine the progress ERM has made in the market over the past few years and to assist ERM vendors in positioning the technology to their customers. The structured primary research for the study included a detailed online survey of over 200 IT, security, and content management executives at companies across various industries. Survey results highlights include the following. Awareness of ERM has increased over the past few years. The financial services industry is showing the most uptake of ERM. ERM is becoming popular for supporting information usage regulations such as Sarbanes-Oxley (accounting) and HIPAA (healthcare). IT managers and executives are the decision-makers on ERM. A large proportion of respondents’ organizations are implementing (or will implement) ERM integrated with CMS or some variant of content management technology. Read this report to see the most comprehensive, publicly available research on the ERM market ever undertaken.
EMC Documentum Information Rights Management Extends Security and Control
The EMC Documentum architecture for information rights management (IRM) helps global companies and government agencies actively control, secure, and track sensitive information, wherever it resides, beyond delivery to and access by authorized users. The system uses strong industry-standard cryptography combined with a unique client-server architecture. Documentum IRM Services’family of client applications or plug-ins works with a common policy server to secure and control electronic information. This white paper provides an overview of the technical architecture of the EMC Documentum IRM server and Documentum IRM clients, including information on cryptography, session security, separation of keys and content, and authentication. Read this white paper and learn how EMC Documentum IRM can open entirely new opportunities regarding the way sensitive information can be shared.
Deploying FIPS-Certified SOA Gateways in Federal, State and Local Government Agencies
A SOA Gateway is a core infrastructure component of a SOA with the ability to integrate XML/SOAP-based services securely. Typically deployed as a hardware appliance, a SOA Gateway seamlessly controls access to services, protects information through data-level encryption, ensures the integrity of a message through signatures, and controls information flow between State, Local and Federal agencies. This article covers reasons why FIPS standard plays a pivotal role in a deployment of a SOA gateway to protect critical business data flowing between various government agencies.
In this publication you will find dozens of short, real-life stories of challenges met—and transcended—through fresh thinking and the creative application of state-of-the-art information technology (IT). We've grouped these stories by the three main segments of the public sector, but urge you to browse outside your own industry to see if there are any new, “outside the box” ideas that may be useful for your organization.
Data Quality and Identity Resolution
Over the past decade, Data Quality processes have evolved beyond the traditional cleansing of names and addresses to increase efficiency rates and postal discounts for marketing campaigns. The current accepted definition for Data Quality is an end–to-end data management process that includes profiling, parsing, cleansing, standardizing, matching, merging, and monitoring phases. This broader Data Quality process is further seen as part of an integrated and scalable data integration platform designed to support reusability across an organization as part ofan Integration Competency Center (ICC), providing shared data services across the enterprise.
In parallel, the market for Identity Resolution processes has evolved from simple search and match functionality for customer service, fraud detection, and security screening processes to today’s highly accurate, high-performance, real-time, cross-language search and match services across multiple applications. This paper describes how Identity Resolution complements and extends the application of Data Quality and data integration processes into business applications.
