Hi,
Could anyone organising or attending this event please encourage
presenters to share this information publicly.
This sort of information is very powerful when building a business case
to back the use of standards.
Regards, Cameron.

Colleagues,
Under Digital Agenda, the European Commission commits itself through Action 23
to provide guidance on the link between ICT Standardisation and Public
Procurement in order to help public authorities use standards to promote
efficiency and reduce lock-in.
As a matter of fact, using ICT open standards results in:
- Higher savings when procuring ICT
- An increased level of competition among suppliers
- Being compliant with EU Public Procurement directives
This workshop on “Open Standards for ICT Procurement: Saving while reducing
ICT lock-in” workshop, taking place in Brussels - at DG CONNECT - on June 12th,
2015 might be of interest. Details at
https://joinup.ec.europa.eu/community/open_standards_ict/event/open-standards-ict-procurement-saving-while-reducing-ict-lock-0
This Workshop will be a great opportunity to meet MSP members, procurement
managers, policymakers and ICT suppliers to discuss how to effectively reduce
lock-in by using Open Standards.
Best wishes,
Suchith
PS - Please also give your inputs to our Open Letter for the need for Open
Standards in LiDAR before 25th April 2015. Details at
