SAN DIEGO -- Crossflo Systems, Inc., an innovative provider of data-sharing solutions for the public sector, announced today the success of its Enterprise Information Exchange Package Documentation (IEPD) Methodology webinar. The interactive session featured industry experts and practitioners who shared their expertise on implementing a successful IEPD strategy across an enterprise to facilitate successful information sharing.

The webinar was held on April 18th with facilitated discussions followed by interactive audience questions. It was moderated by Catherine Plummer, Consultant, GJXDM Expert Information Sharing LLC. Expert panel members included: Susanne Martin, Staff Information Services Analyst, California Department of Justice; Chris Rein, IT Program Manager, New Jersey State Police; Scott Serich, Project Manager, PMP Program, IJIS Institute; and Winfield Wagner, Director - IJIS, Crossflo Systems.

The presentation helped participants learn: how to use IEPDs as the critical success factor for effective data exchange; how to take full advantage of the Global Justice XML Data need Model (GJXDM) and National Information Exchange Model (NIEM) standards through the IEPD; and how to use IEPDs to help manage the impact that standards have on an organization - now and into the future. In addition, panelists discussed the "Four C's" of IEPD deployment:

* Clarity about the IEPD deployment process

* Control when coordinating multiple data exchange partners

* Consistency in addressing all exchange partners' needs

* Capability gained when applying an IEPD service model approach
