The I3C Mission

I3C develops and promotes global, vendorneutral 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.

An iterative method
Each iteration requires decisions on:
Focus - enterprise coverage
Time horizon aimed at
Architecture assets to be leveraged
assets from previous iterations
assets available elsewhere (other
frameworks, system models, vertical
industry models, etc.)
Decisions made on practical assessment
of:
resource / competence availability

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
Security – our Mission

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

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
