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

3. 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!

4. 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.

5. 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.

21. Security

22. 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

23.  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

24. Directory Interoperability Directory HR Access Control Identity Manage- ment Mobility CRM Provision- ing Single Sign-On Web Services

25. 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

26. 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
