Steve Shapiro, Collaboration Account Executive, Autodesk Government
As the world leader in 2D and 3D design, management, and visualization software, Autodesk is uniquely positioned to provide the next generation technology necessary to meet the demands of Government activities and operations. This session will piece together how Autodesk is qualified to address many important aspects of Government 2.0 objectives.
A brief overview of the global success and rapid growth of the corporation will underscore that Autodesk today, is much more that just AutoCAD. The emerging convergence in the fields of architectural and engineering design, construction, and GIS will be discussed to illustrate how the integration of the different disciplines of architectural design including building information modeling (BIM), civil engineering, structural engineering, mechanical engineering, and GIS is being enabled by technological advances in 3D visualization. Today’s Government activities in real property, emergency preparedness and facilities/asset management, military operations, and geospatial information management are driving the need to visualize all of it in one model. The session will explore the value of what a complete Inside-Outside-Under visualization capability can bring when exploiting any one element of one integrated urban environment model. The session will discuss the many advances in “open integration” based on Autodesk’s commitment to open standards, open data access technology, and innovative web mapping solutions available through the MapGuide Open Source project. The importance of how a reliable collaboration environment streamlines the way teams manage and share information – and how that is achieved with powerful and flexible Autodesk software will also be discussed.

Les Saisons Room – All Day
Workshop 1
10:00 a.m. – 11:30 a.m.
Ok, not exactly 57, but there certainly are plenty of entry points to access government services. Be it phone, in-person, Internet, wireless, or otherwise, government clients continue to raise their expectations of how, and how fast, they want to discover and access services for which they are eligible. In most cases, governments are providing a very different client experience from channel to channel, with varying degrees of quality. Though lip service has been paid in the past, more and more public sector organizations are investing in integrated channel strategies, to provide both a consistent experience to clients, and a greater marketing network to expand the reach of government programs.
Join Systemscope’s eGovernment Practice Lead, Stephen Karam, to learn more about how channel strategies are being developed in other leading countries around the world, and how some Government of Canada departments and agencies are making the investment toward a higher value service experience that benefits both the client and the GoC. This session will cover:
- Who cares about a channel strategy?
- The key stages of a channel strategy
- Determining what you know vs. what you don’t know
- Keeping your organization’s expectations realistic
- Implementation considerations
Stephen will be joined by Michele Goshulak, Director General of Program Planning and Service Modernization at AAFC, who will talk about the development of AAFC's integrated channel strategy, in support of services emerging from Canada's new agricultural policy framework.
Workshop 2
1:00 p.m. – 2:15 p.m.
You're not sure exactly what it is, but you know you need one! An effective Web information architecture should simplify life for both site users and contributors, but getting there is both art and science. Join Systemscope's lead IA practitioner, Jane Stewart, to learn more about IA in federal organizations. The session will cover:
- How are effective public sector IAs designed, and how do you know if your IA is effective?
- How do you develop and manage an IA that meets the needs of all your stakeholders: policy and programs, service delivery, IM, IT, communications and marketing?
- What are the IA implications of Common Look and Feel 2.0?
- IA and the back end: how can IA help improve site content and management?
- IA and findability: are you ready to be discovered?
- How do you manage an IA (people, processes, and technology)?
Jane will be joined by Sydney Hill of Citizenship and Immigration Canada's eCommunications group. CIC launched a redesigned site in June of this year, after having used a research-driven approach to IA development, including both domestic and international user testing.

Sydney will talk about the methods used, and the lessons learned, from this concentrated effort.
Workshop 3
2:40 p.m. – 3:50 p.m.
The GC IM Agenda and Policy Compliance: How IM Leaders are Making it Real
Treasury Board Secretariat has released a new Policy on Information Management, expanding accountabilities and specifying desired results for IM across government. While the new policy replaces the MGI Policy of 2003, in the absence of the full complement of associated directives, it is not entirely clear to departments what their immediate response could or should be. This session will examine what has changed, and the current “knowns” with respect to compliance with TBS IM Policy and its associated directives.
Join Systemscope’s IM Practice Lead, Lindsay Fraser, for this practical and engaging session that features a cross-walk of the MGI and the IM Policies in which Lindsay will highlight the concrete actions that departments can take now in responding to the new policy and in preparing for its associated directives.

James Messer, Director of Technical Marketing, Network General
Glen Davies, Senior Consultant, Network General
Finally, a one stack, one view of the enterprise - Application Management, Network Management, Information Assurance and Line of Business Visibility - without the maintenance and overhead of a cobbled together approach. Government agencies are finding that the latest generation of applications have become more distributed, more complex, and are more sensitive to bandwidth and timing than ever before. Traditional siloed network and application performance tools can no longer provide the visibility required at an affordable cost - driving the need for new alternatives to achieve the best performance and efficiency.
Find out how you can give true visibility into your network, you applications, your VoIP services and your virtualization tools -- all within your existing IT environment, so you can spend less time configuring and more time managing.
Join Network General for a technical demonstration of how to proactively manage application and network performance where they will detail recent advances that enable high-performance, cost-effective management for even the most demanding government IT infrastructures using a single system view to resolve response times for the network, server and clients.
Attendees will learn how to:
- View end-to-end response times of the network, server, and application transactions without server-based agents or extensive appliance deployments
- View past application performance and predict the future impact of application growth with insight into every major application metric
- Automatically identify hundreds of inefficiencies with out-of-the-box application intelligence
- View any application flow traversing the network, at any time; minutes, hours, or even days ago!

- Establishing governance
- Transitioning to the in-service environment
This presentation is a condensed version of a free half-day workshop on Computer Forensics conducted on a regular basis by Cyberklix designed for IT security officers, all managers and IT administrators.
Activity that takes place on computers and networks is fleeting by nature. When conducting incident response, critical data can be erased, accidentally changed or overlooked resulting in inaccurate and misleading conclusions.
Digital forensics has evolved to address these issues but most IT security officers, managers and IT administrators are not aware of the processes involved and have not incorporated proper forensic procedures into their incident response plans.
This presentation provides a quick overview of what computer forensics is and how it can apply in different incident scenarios. It covers the importance of forensically sound logs, options on how to collect and store them and talks about counter forensic tools, the hype and reality.
The final part of the presentation consists of “first responder” procedures on computer forensics that provides incident response staff with guidance on how to conduct an initial forensic response.
All attendees will receive a hard copy of the guide along with a quick reference guide.
MTS Allstream is a leading provider of IP Converged, Unified Communication, IT collaboration and Security services to public sector organizations in Canada. The MTS Allstream workshop consists of 5 presentations on the Government 2.0 theme from the perspective of moving from the Government 1.0 current situation to the Government 2.0 future state and the impact on collaboration, security and network requirements. Each presentation will be about 30 minutes with an additional 5-10 minutes for questions. Refreshments will be provided.
Web 2.0 is a set of technologies that rely on user collaboration and include Web services, peer-to-peer networking, blogs, podcasts and online social networks. IT and business leaders optimistically hope these tools will enable enterprises to reach new levels of productivity. But what about government and other public sector organizations, will they also be able to reach new levels of productivity?
What came before Web 2.0, in other words what is Web 1.0, and how have organizations moved from the Web 1.0 world to the Web 2.0 world?
This session will explore where public sector organizations have successfully implemented Gov’t 2.0, the public sector version of Web 2.0 and what were the benefits they attained and the risks they had to mitigate to become successful.
Different organizations will be compared in order that benchmarks can be established and a maturity model proposed.
Phil Sylvain is the Senior Marketing Manager for the Public Sector at MTS Allstream. He has over 20 years ICT experience in technology and business management and consulting including 10 years experience with collaboration systems in the public sector.
Some of the most significant benefits delivered by Collaboration solutions occur when they are deployed to support processes external to a department, such as: public consultations, negotiations, public/private partnership projects, interdepartmental working groups, federal approvals, translation services, etc.
Benefits range from reduced travel and administration costs to streamlined processes to increased participation and enhanced relationships. Even the most basic of collaboration services and technologies can deliver significant levels of benefits.
There are some basic challenges to be addressed by any department or organization wishing to engage its external partners and constituents in collaborative activities. However most of these have been tackled at least once and are now quite manageable.
This session will introduce you to several real experiences with collaboration technologies in the federal government. It will also provide an overview of the key challenges that were addressed and the benefits that resulted.
The presenter is David Kuta, Practice Manager, Business Consulting and Project Services at MTS Allstream.
Collaboration has a clear impact on business performance – in particular productivity, client services, product development, innovation, and compliance. Yet, according to research from Frost & Sullivan, government ranked as one of the least collaborative sectors.
This presentation will explain that ranking and will identify those potential business areas where government could leverage collaboration solutions that are already available in their organizations and take advantage of the business benefits being realized in other sectors.
Today’s collaboration solutions can help government department’s centralize disparate information sources, better coordinate teamwork, efficiently leverage organizational expertise and knowledge, effectively collect and share critical business information, simplify common business activities and processes as well as rendering policy settings to comply with regulatory and statutory requirements.
This session will present some collaboration initiatives that are being undertaken today in the federal government and will share important items to consider when undertaking similar initiatives.
The presenter is Connie Ford, Practice Manager of Collaboration Management at MTS Allstream.
Government is facing increasing pressure to improve management and control over access to information. The use of technology to improve service and reduce costs is a fundamental element of Government 2.0 but it introduces new challenges relative to authorizing rights and managing access to trust worthy systems.
Identity and Access Management (IAM) infrastructures provide an environment that enables effective access approval and control measures that align business need with policy enforcement through capabilities such as segregation of duties, workflow and approvals and automated account provisioning. Benefits include increased assurance of proper authorization of access rights, management of user privileges and improved business processes.
The implementation of an Identity and Access Management solution should also be considered as part of a strategy to comply with organizational security standards such as MITS. It can provide detailed evidence of access rights and activity, as well as serve as a foundation for addressing obligations related to governance, identification and authentication, authorization and access control and perimeter defence.
This session will present an overview of IAM concepts and discuss elements of a strategy for introducing it successfully in government. It will also identify some of the planning, deployment and integration challenges that are typically experienced, as well as provide approaches for leveraging IAM to better manage, control and report on access to information systems.
The presenter is Michael Rowen, Director of Security for MTS Allstream.
There are clear productivity benefits when deploying a collaboration solution within an organization and a critical link between the solution that is deployed and the network infrastructure that is in place to support it.
This case study will review the experiences of a large Canadian financial institution that has openly adopted MPLS (Multi Protocol Label Switching) technology across their infrastructure for both voice and data. This adoption coupled with the collaboration tools they have deployed has enabled them to increase the productivity of their staff, improve communication where both organizational and geographical boundaries exist and introduce new services to increase their customer service capabilities.
In addition to reviewing the benefits of deploying these new technologies we will also discuss the project milestones, budgets, deployment strategies, security concerns and the obstacles that were overcome to meet client commitments and successfully complete their most successful IP network conversion to date.
Other significant benefits were realized through the migration of services to a service provider that allowed internal engineers to focus on designing and deploying additional technologies to give the institution a competitive advantage in today’s financial marketplace.
The presenter is Dave Forsey of MTS Allstream, a former Sr. Manager of network services with the Bank of Nova Scotia.
Jim Pond, Consultant, Dell Canada’s Federal Government Practice
This session will outline best practices in building the Scalable Enterprise for Government 2.0.
There are many trends and technologies developing today that will shape the datacenter of the future. Standardization, utility and dynamic computing models, and scaling-out vs. scaling-up are important discussions for organizations of any size. However, there are a number of opportunities and challenges that IT organizations currently face that must be addressed— not only to meet today’s needs, but to prepare them for the future. And, of course, this must be done while managing data growth, dealing with security, staffing and training, managing migrations and upgrades, and understanding new regulations.
The datacenter of the future will be realized in phases. It is critical for organizations to focus on simplifying operations and improving utilization to be prepared. Cost-effective scaling will allow organizations to maintain the most relevant technologies for optimum performance today, without over-investing in technology that could quickly become outdated or obsolete. It is through this modular, pay-as-you-grow, industry-standards approach that organizations will retain the flexibility, choice and control to determine which IT infrastructure best matches the needs of their organization.
Dell’s enterprise strategy is the Scalable Enterprise—driving standardization into the datacenter and delivering superior value. Dell will deliver the Scalable Enterprise through a focus on customer issues and opportunities, and through products, services and alliances to address those opportunities. Dell’s focus in the enterprise is to enable customers to simplify operations, improve utilization and cost-effectively scale.

Rebecca Wellum, Manager, Dell Canada’s Recycling Environmental Program & Compliance
This session will outline best practices in managing disposal of used IT equipment, issues that need to be addressed as part of the disposal process and emerging industry positions on recycling policies.
Environmentally responsible IT asset disposal has emerged as a top priority for millions of businesses, governments, organizations and consumers worldwide.
Organizations are facing issues ranging from the cost of storing used IT equipment, the security of data on hard drives, environmental liabilities – legal and brand - from improper disposal of used equipment to managing the cost of responsibly managing disposal of equipment.
Meanwhile, a host of regulations governing the recycling of used electronics are emerging around the globe. In North America electronics public policy from province to province and state to state can vary widely.
This session will examine the issues any organization seeking to dispose of used equipment must consider, from data protection, to disposal reporting, to managing costs to downstream auditing and waste export controls by third-party disposal providers.
Dell is committed to providing responsible recycling solutions for the products we make and sell. A worldwide team manages providing a suite of product recovery services to business, organization and consumer customers.
Workshop 3
12:45 p.m. – 1:45 p.m.
Debora Jensen , Vice President, Canadian Advanced Solutions Group, Dell Canada Inc.
This session will outline best practices in simplifying IT in a way that lays the foundation for the future of your business and drive simplification throughout your entire enterprise.
Every day, Dell works with IT organizations around the world to help solve their challenges. We hear one common theme—IT is too complex.
Today, most spend around 70% of their IT budget on maintenance, which leaves only 30% for driving new initiatives. As a result, IT organizations are spending too much time, money, and energy maintaining outdated systems and not enough on innovation to drive business forward faster.
New tools and best practices create new opportunities to drive business objectives through innovative thinking. By reclaiming resources otherwise spent on infrastructure maintenance, you can put your best and brightest people on new initiatives that will enhance the value of IT and differentiate your business.
We believe the most important thing we can do is to simplify IT by stripping out cost and complexity in every way, every day. We are building new tools and best practices to ensure every customer continues to create new opportunities to drive business objectives through innovation. Innovation is not in what Dell brings to you, it is what we bring out in you. We believe IT innovation comes from people who have the time and money to innovate. Attend and see how A low-touch uniform architecture can set your IT staff free, moving them from merely being firefighters to your best innovators.
IT simplification has always been the primary focus for our company. We think it is the best way that we can drive value for our customers.
That’s the Dell Way.
