NBC PROFILE - SUMMER 2005
Customer Outreach Initiatives |
 |
The NBC spent a busy year taking part in customer outreach and networking activities by engaging in a variety of intra-governmental, industry and training conferences. These forums provide valuable opportunities to showcase products and services to the federal community, network with potential customers as well as industry leaders, present insight regarding the NBC as a center of excellence and its strategies for success, and up-to-date training in the various systems currently being supplied by the NBC. These gatherings include annual association conferences such as the Association of Government Accountants (AGA), the Government Information Technology Council (GITEC), as well as industry conferences and forums such as SAP Sapphire and Oracle's Federal Forum.
At the AGA's 54th Annual Professional Development Conference & Exposition - held on July 10-13, 2005 in Orlando, FL - the NBC exhibited its financial management and accounting operations products and services to more than 1,600 attendees with financial and oversight responsibility. The conference entitled "Leadership: Preparing Tomorrow's Accountability Professionals" brought together professional participants from federal, state and local governments, the private sector and academia to discuss financial management issues of common concern. In addition, Edmund Crump, NBC's Managing Director, Solutions Coordination Office participated in a panel discussion with Robert Stevens, U.S. Department of Transportation, Program Manager, Enterprise Solutions to discuss their respective agencies as outsourcing entities and OMB Centers of Excellence.
The NBC also exhibited at GITEC's annual Information Processing Interagency Conference (IPIC) - held February 2005 in Orlando, FL. The conference was attended by 500 government and industry executives who enjoyed an informative and comfortable networking environment that allowed for sharing and collaboration on information technology ideas, challenges and successes. The conference theme was "Results through Information Sharing" and displayed an impressive line up of speakers and panelists from the federal government, industry, academia and politics to discuss successful practices, changing technology and leadership challenges.
NBC Director, Doug Bourgeois, participated in Oracle's Federal Forum held April 2005 in Washington, DC. He was joined by Larry Neff, Director of Financial Management, Department of Transportation and Matt Miller, Manager Accounting Services Branch, Bureau of Public Debt in a panel session discussing their respective agencies' product offerings as an OMB approved financial management Center of Excellence. The forum was attended by more than 100 federal representatives involved in cross-servicing options in the financial management arena.
NBC also took part in SAP's annual conference, SAPPHIRE '05, held May 2005 in Boston, MA. SAPPHIRE '05 educated thousands of conference participants in the insight and innovation of SAP's business management tools. SAP is the Department of the Interior's chosen FBMS, FM COTS system. This venue allowed NBC staff to attend keynote addresses, panel sessions and product demonstrations displaying the benefits and lessons learned of the various business solutions offered by SAP.
