WASHINGTON, Feb. 22 /PRNewswire/ -- Seven weeks before the April 5th
opening day of FOSE 2005, government's technology-fest, registration for the
event is on tap for its 29th annual gathering of government, military and
homeland security professionals to test drive new technology. Market
intelligence firm INPUT projects that federal technology system purchases of
hardware and associated software are slated to reach $23 billion by 2009, a
35% increase from 2004. FOSE 2005, taking place on April 5-7 at the
Washington DC Convention Center, is the hub for the government technology
community with exhibits from more than 500 companies, industry keynotes, and
whirlwind special events.
"FOSE 2005 delivers the knowledge that government agencies and the
military need in a highly focused, three-day event," commented Lorenz
Hassenstein, Vice President, PostNewsweek Tech Media. "Keynote speakers will
set the tone as we hear from Intel's incoming CEO Paul Otellini, Kevin
Rollins, CEO, Dell; Martin Cole, Group Chief Executive-Government, Accenture;
and Bill McDermott, CEO, SAP America. Again this year, we have introduced
government-to-government pavilions where civilian agency and military
personnel demonstrate applications in the areas of defense, homeland security,
and electronic service delivery. FOSE's exhibit hall, with nearly 500 leading
suppliers, represents a comprehensive showing of who's-who in the
marketplace."
Kevin Carroll, Program Executive Office, Enterprise Information Systems,
(PEO EIS) remarked, "U.S. Army imperatives such as Unique Identification and
RFID have made emerging technology even more critical this year. Our DOD/Army
information technology professionals need to stay abreast of this technology
and to upgrade their skills by seeing what industry solutions are unveiled."
U.S. Army PEO EIS pursues information dominance by the acquisition and
implementation of integrated enterprise-wide communication, information
technology and business solutions for America's war-fighting and peacekeeping
forces.
