This briefing features three presentations from experts that will provide a road map for tapping real time information and controlling information costs. The approach: innovative engineering and new features of open source, Google and Microsoft systems.

The first segment is “Open Systems and Existing Architectures: Engineering to Control Costs and Enabling Dataspaces.” Arpan Patel, director of Somat’s information engineering practice in DC, will discuss the basics of quantifying the costs and time required for system integration. The presentation will feature Somat’s TechCrunch50 recognized collaboration software Ripply, which uses dataspace technology to eliminate the “where is that latest document/message/response problem” that most organizations and working groups face.

Mr. Steele will map four steps to “build a bridge” between these information sources. For more information about Mr. Steele, visit http://www.tinyurl.com/RDSTEELE.
