Join a panel discussion that examines The Open Group’s new Open Trusted Technology Forum (OTTF), established in December to find ways to safely conduct global procurement and supply-chain commerce among and between technology acquirers and buyers.

The forum is tasked with providing transparency, collaboration, innovation, and more trust on the partners and market participants in a IT supplier environment. The goal is for the OTTF to lead to improved business risk for global supply activities in the IT field. [Get the new free OTTF white paper.]

Presented in conjunction with The Open Group Conference held in San Diego, the week of Feb. 7, the panel of experts examines how the OTTF will function, what its new framework will be charged with providing, and ways that participants in the global IT commerce ecosystem can become involved with and perhaps use the OTTF’s work to their advantage.

Here with us to delve into the mandate and impact of the Open Trusted Technology Forum is the panel: Dave Lounsbury, Chief Technology Officer for The Open Group; Steve Lipner, Senior Director of Security Engineering Strategy in Microsoft’s Trustworthy Computing Group; Andras Szakal, Chief Architect in IBM’s Federal Software Group and an IBM distinguished engineer, and Carrie Gates, Vice President and Research Staff Member at CA Labs. The discussion is moderated by BriefingsDirect's Dana Gardner, Principal Analyst at Interarbor Solutions.
