REMARKS: December
16, 2011 IT-AAC Sr. Leadership Roundtable
About 35 to 40
senior level individuals participated in the December 16th IT-AAC Leadership
Roundtable that SEI hosted, representing a cross section of government,
industry and academia. With severe budget cuts forcing greater
operational efficiencies, the forum provided the participants a non-attribution
mechanism to exchange ideas.
The keynote
address by OUSD Intel, Mr. Neill Tipton, on D12E Way Forward was interesting
from an overall enterprise perspective as were the discussions on the business
cases for secure cloud computing and consolidated IT infrastructure.
The next forum
will be in late January.
