Ms Singer was appointed in November 2006 and is responsible for ensuring CIA has the information, technology, and infrastructure necessary to effectively execute its missions. Prior to her appointment as Deputy CIO, Ms. Singer served as the Director of the Diplomatic Telecommunications Service (DTS), United States Department of State, and was responsible for global network services to US foreign missions.



GovITExpo builds on the success of SYS-CON's Cloud Computing Expo, the fastest-growing conference anywhere in the world devoted to the delivery of massively scalable IT as a service using Internet technologies. Data storage, security and software services are among the major themes of the technical program, which offers breakout sessionsdivided into three parallel tracks covering

Cloud Computing/Virtualization
Service Oriented Architecture
Security & Compliance

There will be breakout sessions on the security issues that are unique to the Cloud, such as the crucial distinction between Private and Public clouds. Expert speakers from government and the software industry alike will be looking at issues such as the requirements for how companies can handle government information and how information can be most successfully shared by multiple clouds. Doing more with less is the new reality for most IT departments, and the Government is no exception. So the cost-effectiveness of technologies such as Virtualization will also be foremost on the agenda.

With GovITExpo, SYS-CON Events widens and broadens its reach to embrace those who are bringing technology into the Federal domain. This high-energy event will be a must-attend for senior technologists involved in Government IT at every level including CIOs, CTOs, directors of infrastructure, VPs of technology, IT directors and managers, network and storage managers, network engineers, enterprise architects, and communications and networking specialists.

According to the Washington Post, the U.S. Census Bureau is using Salesforce's cloud to manage the activities of about 100,000 partner organizations across the country. And the Defense Department's technology arm has already set up a cloud to let the military rent storage space or use remote software programs. Companies like online application provider NetSuite, have shifted their focus to federal sales, on the basis that what works for Enterprise IT can also work for Government.

"Agency CIOs and CTOs need the flexibility to choose the best tools to accomplish their mission regardless of platform," notes Conference Chair Kevin L. Jackson, a senior information technologist specializing in information technology solutions that meet critical Federal government operational requirements. "Come explore the wide range of currently available technology choices for yourself," he adds. "Join us at the 1st Annual Government IT Conference & Expo on October 6, 2009, in Washington, DC - either as a delegate, sponsor, exhibitor, or speaker. I look forward to meeting you at this important event!"
