VEGA sponsors Intellect Identity and Information Conference 2009

9 October 2009 – VEGA Consulting Services Ltd (VEGA), a Finmeccanica company, is sponsoring Intellect’s Identity and Information Conference 2009, and highlighting the need for the UK to adopt a standard approach to information sharing.

The conference, on 28 October, will focus on how a greater understanding of information sharing, security and identity management can enhance public services for the benefit of both those working across government and those who rely upon it.

VEGA is a professional services company that delivers technology-enabled change in complex environments, often where security and resilience are key. We offer independent expert advice and pragmatic solutions to help our clients meet their transformation challenges with confidence. The company has a wealth of experience advising government on how best to ensure the integrity of information and facilitate data sharing.

Steve Coles, a leading strategist in this area of information security, will be contributing to the conference programme on behalf of VEGA. He will be speaking about the UK’s requirement for a National Information Sharing Strategy and its role in supporting the vision of transformational government. As a member of Intellect’s Security and Resilience Group management committee, Steve represents the trade association on RISC, where he is the industry Chair of the RISC ICT IAG.

“The UK Government’s Transformation Agenda highlights the need to transform the business of government, through moving to a culture of shared services, and professionalising government's planning, delivery, management, skills and governance of IT-enabled change,“ explains Steve.

“As part of the information sharing session, I will be considering the need for the UK to adopt its own National Information Sharing Strategy, and examining how such an approach, already adopted by some of the UK’s closest allies, can help resolve the challenges associated with the increased demand to securely share information across a range of government departments and extended stakeholders.”

Other conference speakers include David Blunkett MP; Christopher Graham, Information Commissioner; Eleanor Laing MP, Conservative Shadow Minister for Justice; Prof David Rhind CBE, Chair, Advisory Panel on Public Sector Information; and ACC Steve Mortimore, Programme Director, NPIA Citizen Focus and Neighbourhood Policing Programme.
