Session One: Social Computing

Overview

Social computing is rapidly gaining momentum and is acknowledged as one of the five major trends that will force organizations to change their workplace strategy. There has been much discussion around the technologies for these new constructs, but what is not immediately evident is the intrinsic and tangible business value of social computing for the enterprise.

Join Microsoft and Habañero Consulting Group for a session that will discuss the challenges and opportunities of social computing and Web 2.0 in the public sector work environment.

We will discuss:

  • What is social computing and Web 2.0 and how can it impact Government?
  • What is the business value of social computing?
  • What is the impact of either embracing or ignoring this trend?
  • Knowledge management: how social computing can help you share tacit and documented knowledge
  • Can social computing help you recruit and retain talent in a shrinking labour market?
  • Microsoft’s enterprise-ready social computing technologies

Session Two: Enterprise Content Management—Solutions for Managing the Canadian Public Sector’s Digital Information

Overview

In most organizations, digital content doubles every three years. It is estimated that by 2010 the amount of digital information stored will be equivalent to 15 million times the information contained in all the books every written. At the same time customers and constituents want access to more information, in the format they want, whenever they need it, while respecting privacy and organizational security considerations. Meanwhile, organizations are accountable more than ever for the information they author, publish, retain, and destroy.

Join Microsoft and Habañero Consulting Group for a session that demonstrates how public sector organizations can leverage the MOSS 2007 platform for ECM solutions. Through this ECM event your organization will understand the value of information architecture, document and records management, web content management, collaboration and social networking, workflow, policies, and electronic forms. In addition, we will discuss how solutions based on the MOSS 2007 platform can be rapidly deployed to help lower operational costs, help increase employee productivity, ensure information consistency, enable collaboration, while transparently adhering to the information management policies.
