dciaWe hope you can join Layered Tech at the “Intelligence in the Cloud” workshop, which is a unique opportunity to understand the challenges of migrating secure multimedia assets to the cloud.  The workshop, jointly sponsored by the National Association of Broadcasters (NAB) and the Distributed Computing Industry Association (DCIA), will focus on how military and government agencies with responsibilities for intelligence gathering can safely leverage the benefits of cloud computing.

The day will include a fantastic lineup of panel discussions and case study presenters.  Our very own Jeff Reich, Chief Risk Officer, will present a private sector case study at 1:45pm about managing your cloud for security and compliance.  Do you need to learn how to adapt existing controls to make real-time cloud compliant?  Are you looking to develop a FISMA-compliant cloud solution or find a provider to offer one?  You won’t want to miss this discussion.

“Intelligence in the Cloud” will be held Tuesday December 4th at the NAB Headquarters in Washington D.C. from 8:00am – 5:00pm.  For more information, you can visit http://www.nabshow.com/2013/iitc/.

MS-DynamicsWhen is a cloud business solution right for your agency?

An interview with Suzie Adams, Federal Chief Technology Advisor for Microsoft

This week, Microsoft Dynamics announced the availability of new cloud-based business solutions built specifically for federal government agencies. These solutions are delivered through a FISMA-compliant, federal-only infrastructure environment hosted by Microsoft partner Layered Tech. The solutions provide agencies with a private and secured cloud hosting environment built specifically to deploy mission critical solutions, enabling federal agencies to collaborate, manage data, improve processes, and access actionable business intelligence, while taking advantage of the flexibility, security, performance and cost savings of a cloud delivery model.

The FutureFed blog team had the opportunity to catch up with Susie Adams, Microsoft’s Federal Chief Technology Advisor, to help give some perspective to this announcement and answer a few questions on cloud offerings for federal agencies.

Kansas City Corporate ChallengeAs the world’s largest sports organization, Special Olympics looks to transform lives through the joy of sport, every day and everywhere. In support of Special Olympics’ mission, Layered Tech’s Kansas City office is thrilled to be competing in and volunteering for the 2012 Kansas City Corporate Challenge, April 27-June 30.

For 33 years, the Kansas City Corporate Challenge has provided an event featuring Olympic-type games to unite nearly 200 local businesses under a singular, charitable cause. During the two-month challenge, companies have the opportunity to compete in 30 sporting events, network and promote teamwork among employees. In addition, participating companies volunteer at the events – with more than 20,000 participants and 30 different events, the Corporate Challenge would not be successful without the 1,300+ dedicated volunteers.

We have already shared some fun times with fellow employees and other local companies at this year’s Corporate Challenge. At the kick-off party on April 27, Layered Tech participated in the one-mile walk and then grilled up some Kansas City-style barbeque at the all-company tailgate at Truman Sports Complex, home to both the Kansas City Chiefs and Kansas City Royals. The photos you see are from the tailgate and walk – good food, good people and a great time! (View more photos on Facebook)

After the kick-off party, our Kansas City office immediately began gearing up for some friendly competition with other local businesses. This year, Layered Tech employees are participating in nearly all of the events, some of which include:

KCCC Events

  • Three-on-three basketball
  • Darts
  • Disc golf
  • Dodgeball
  • Fishing
  • Flag football
  • Golf
  • Pool
  • Soccer
  • Softball
  • Table tennis
  • Volleyball
  • Weight lifting

In addition to the camaraderie, fellowship and fitness generated by the Corporate Challenge, we are excited to further our mission of giving back to the community and staying involved in charitable organizations. Throughout the year, Layered Tech is committed to participating in charitable functions, including food drives, clothing drives and special events like the Corporate Challenge. We believe it is important to realize that charities’ needs for support don’t stop when various events or fundraisers conclude; they need volunteers and donations year-round.

How You Can Help
All year long, Special Olympics provides sports training and athletic competition in a variety of sports for children and adults with intellectual disabilities. Through these activities, Special Olympics hopes to give participants continued opportunities to develop physical fitness, demonstrate courage, experience joy and participate in sharing gifts, skills and friendship with others.

The 2012 Kansas City Corporate Challenge benefits the Kansas City Metro division of Special Olympics Missouri, but there are Special Olympics chapters across the globe, so check online for a chapter near you. Whether you choose to coach, volunteer or donate, Special Olympics Missouri and all of Special Olympics’ locations throughout more than 170 countries need consistent, year-round support.

Now, let the games begin!
