ADVISORY/Press Conference: U.S. CTO Bridging the Gap Between Federal Government and Silicon Valley Tech Companies.News Editors/Business Editors/Assignment Desks/Political Writers/High-Tech Writers ADVISORY...for Wednesday Wednesday: see week. (May 28) --(BUSINESS WIRE) AeA -0-
What: Press conference with U.S. Chief Technology Officer.
Why: The U.S. government wants to dispel the myth that only
companies within the DC Beltway can win federal IT work. To do
this, it is sending Lorentz to the Silicon Valley to meet
with 200 high-tech executives and explain the "ins and outs"
of government business. The federal government will spend
nearly $60 billion on technology solutions in 2003.
Who:
-- Norman E. Lorentz, U.S. Chief Technology Officer.
Lorentz is responsible for identifying, and developing
support for, new technologies to improve the government's
technical, information and business architectures.
-- Dr. James Kane, President and CEO Federal Sources, Inc.,
the leading provider of public sector IT market
intelligence, will also provide analysis of current
government business trends.
-- Greg Baroni, Global Public-Sector President for Unisys
Corporation. Unisys is a large systems integrator that
recently won a multi-billion-dollar/multi-year contract
from the Transportation Security Administration. He will
share first-hand, company-perspective insight and explain
how smaller companies can become subcontractors for larger
ones, such as Unisys, to indirectly access government
funding.
