The I3C Mission  I3C develops and promotes global, vendor- neutral informatics solutions that improve data quality and accelerate the development of life science products.

To Achieve the Mission..  Conflicting forces must be balanced to succeed  Free information exchange and IPR  Regulatory compliance and operational efficiency  Standardization and complexity  The signs on how to proceed are not always clear The I3C is not alone in these challenges!

The Open Group Mission To drive the creation of Boundaryless Information Flow™ by:  Working with customers to capture, understand and address current and emerging requirements, establish policies and share best practices;  Working with suppliers, consortia and standards bodies to develop consensus and facilitate interoperability, to evolve and integrate open specifications and open source technologies;  Offering a comprehensive set of services to enhance the operational efficiency of consortia; and  Developing and operating the industry's premier certification service and encouraging procurement of certified products.

Boundaryless Information Flow ™  To achieve Boundaryless Information Flow™ an organization needs to put in place infrastructure services that bring information together and provide that information to those users and applications that need it.  Boundaryless Information Flow™ represents a set of challenges that most companies have.  The Open Group is tackling the problems represented by Boundaryless Information Flow™ and is the place in the industry to work on these issues.

I3C and The Open Group  By working together, the I3C can leverage The Open Group’s work to achieve a vision of a Interoperable, Secure and dependable Informatics Infrastructure  Opportunities exist for immediate benefit  Architecture  Security  Directory

The Open Group is..  A global consortium committed to delivering greater business efficiency by bringing together buyers and suppliers of information technology to lower the time, cost and risk associated with integrating new technology across the enterprise.  Methods  Best practices guides  Practical guiding principles  Frequently found issues and solutions  Select and integrate standards  Profiles of the standards  Proof of concepts  Certified products  Enterprise architecture method  Best practices on business information directory  Best practice for information delivery  Overall gap and overlap reports  Reports on alternative approaches  Proof of concept reports Information Infrastructure Business Technical

Our Role  Ensure requirements derived from real interoperability issues are driving standards (Customer view)  Ensure technical direction of interoperability standards are addressing market needs (Supplier view)  Enable peers to share best practice and learn from the experiences of others  Enable networking with knowledgeable people who are making an impact on the technical direction of IT industry  Provide a forum for IT standards with a focus on interoperability  Build relationships with other consortia  Deliver assurance of interoperability through certification and testing

Delivering on the Roles Customers Requirements Business Scenarios & Challenges Policies and best practice Case studies and shared experience Guides Collaborative authoring Tools and methodologies Adopt and adapt Procurement Single organization or combined Suppliers Solutions Through their products Response to requirements Technical direction Standards Adopt, adapt and integrate specifications Technology Sponsor Open Source developments Conformance to standards Established through certification and testing

Security

Security – our Vision  Security is about achieving business objectives within applicable law and policy  Managing risk  Not merely preventing bad things  Security creates protected systems with controlled perimeters  A controlled perimeter is “boundaryless” where (and only where) it needs to be  Security design is necessarily pervasive

 Bridge the gap between business objectives and traditional “security” technology  Identifygaps in both understanding and technology  Better understanding between buyers and suppliers  Positioning within the Security Life Cycle – Concept, Requirements, H-L Design, L-L Design, Implementation, Integration, Test & Certification, Operation & Maintenance, Obsolescence & Succession.  Develop collaborative activities with other consortia to avoid duplication of effort & leverage best-of-breed solutions  A big part of the problem is just defining exactly what problem we’re solving Security – our Mission

Working Together  We’d like to invite the I3C to work with The Open Group to identify and establish standards and best practices in  Boundaryless Informatics Architecture  Security Policies and Risk Management practices  Directory Interoperability

In conclusion  By engaging with other IT vendors and customers working toward a vision of Boundaryless Information Flow™, the I3C can realize:  Faster and simpler identification of necessary interoperability, reliability standards for informatics  Faster availability of necessary informatics standards in commercial practice = Faster and more efficient deployment of life science products
