National Perspective on Information Sharing
and Interoperability
Paul Wormeli, Executive Director of the
Washington-based IJIS Institute, will kick
off our Wednesday agenda with an update on
major national programs affecting state and
local justice agencies, including Fusion
Centers, FBI National Data Exchange (NDEx),
Global Justice XML and the National
Information Exchange Model (NIEM), and the
new Public Safety Interoperable
Communications (PSIC) Grant Program
Paul is well-prepared to make the vital
connections between these national
initiatives and what they really mean for
you and your officers on the street.

DHS Promises Flexibility for $1B
Interoperability Grants
The Homeland Security Department plans
to release details shortly on how it
intends to allocate to states a new $1
billion fund designated for
interoperable public safety
communications under the Public Safety
Interoperable Communications (PSIC)
Grant program. The money is being made
available through a scheduled auction of
radio spectrum to take place in 2008.
Congress moved deployment of the $1
billion a year forward by a year in the
Call Home Act of 2006.
You'll get the latest information on
this new grant program from Paul
Wormeli, Executive Director of the
non-profit IJIS Group, in his session at
the User Conference.

Get in touch
with your Customer Advisory Board
At the request of last year's attendees for
more information on "lessons learned" from

practices. We've scheduled that session for
the first morning of the Conference so
you'll have plenty of time to meet
one-on-one with presenters and participants
over the course of the Conference.
We're very interested in hearing about your
experiences, as well. If you'd like to
contribute to this session, please contact

Product Spotlight: InfoServer 6.0
The User Conference marks the
release of InfoServer 6.0. This
latest version helps you manage
your mobile environment more
easily and cost-effectively with
new features like a Web-based
InfoServer Administrator and
system self-monitoring and
notification.
We're scheduling multiple agenda
sessions at the User Conference
on InfoServer 6.0 and how to
upgrade, where we'll walk you
through every step of the
upgrade process from your
current level, and you can go
"hands-on" in the Solutions Lab
so you understand the new
features fully before you
upgrade. The cost of this
training and technical
assistance, if we came to you,
would be over $2500.

6.0
