By Jessica Pelenberg, Department of the Navy Chief Information Officer Public Affairs
CHARLESTON S.C. (NNS) — Government officials spoke about the challenges their organizations are facing and their plans to tackle them at the Fifth Annual C5ISR Government and Industry Partnership Conference held Nov. 16, in Charleston, S.C.
Terry Halvorsen, Department of the Navy Chief Information Officer (DON CIO); Rear Adm. Robert Day, United States Coast Guard assistant commandant for C4IT and chief information officer; and Roger Baker, Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) assistant secretary for Information Technology (IT) described the steps their organizations are taking to deal with the challenges of finding efficiencies and responding to budget cuts. The three leaders had some similar ideas despite the differences in their organizational missions and goals.
One year ago, Baker was faced with the task of rebuilding the entire VA IT department while working with a constrained budget and increased demands for services. His three goals were to simplify the GI bill application, reduce Veteran homelessness, and create a simplified Veterans Benefits Management System with easy access to benefits and medical records.
He met his first goal with an updated GI bill application, developed with the Navy’s Space and Naval Warfare (SPAWAR) Systems Command, that reduced application completion time from 45 minutes to seven. This successful partnership led to another partnership with SPAWAR to update the Veterans Benefits Management System. Using the updated system, veterans can now download their benefits information and medical records onto their personal computing devices.
New 40-Watt Equivalent Lamp Offers ‘The Best of All Worlds’
Toshiba International Corporation, November 16, 2011 – Toshiba International Corporation announced today that it is introducing an innovative 40-watt equivalent A19 LED lamp with all the best lighting features.
Unlike many other LED lamps launched to date, Toshiba’s A19 boasts a more traditional light bulb shape – a feature that research shows is important to lighting designers, specifiers and consumers. Toshiba’s new A19 lamp is manufactured with patented technology enabling omnidirectional light distribution that is similar to an incandescent lamp. The lamp is also dimmable and comes in 2700K and 4000K color temperatures.
