Chapter 3 – Addressing New Business Mandates

• COOP/COG/Disaster Recovery/Going Green

Come join John Thomas Flynn (Former CIO, State of California) and Jon Fullinwider (Former CIO, County of Los Angeles), Govplace, and our partners, as we discuss some of the latest technology initiatives being driven at the State level that will impact local agencies. We invite you to share your data center issues, concerns and obstacles in an open question and answer forum.

IT spending has always been influenced to some extent by external directives. But new Federal, State, and County mandates will begin driving the direction of IT like never before.

• Governor Schwarzenegger’s 10% budget reduction directive

• Green Initiatives such as a 20 percent reduction in state-wide carbon emissions and 15 percent decrease in energy

• Federal and state requirements for data availability following a catastrophe

• The ability for agency employees to access data remotely

Discover how compliance with these initiatives can actually reduce your Total Cost of Ownership while simplifying and improving manageability of your Data Center. Learn how Disaster Recovery, TeleWork, and “Going Green” can be accomplished on a single platform.
