VIENNA, VA., March 22, 2016)— With tax season looming, FCW's lead feature in the March 30th issue is "The Taxman's Tech Troubles," which outlines the technology woes the IRS is facing both in the view of the general public and behind closed doors.
FCW and "The Taxman's Tech Troubles" article author Zach Noble are available for further inquiries or interviews. Contact znoble@1105media.com or (703)576-7081 for more information.
A preview of "The Taxman's Tech Troubles":
The IRS spends $2.5 billion annually on information technology across more than 20 major systems, yet it still relies on a central data processing setup that went online in the 1960s to keep its revenue-collecting cogs turning. The IRS' IT problems are manifold: not enough money, political pressure, technical constraints, a lack of skilled tech professionals and the tax code itself.
IRS Commissioner John Koskinen has asked for more money, and he's hopeful he can push legislation to save the IT employees he'll soon otherwise lose. But the code itself continues to knot up his plans.
FCW staff writer Zach Noble notes that only a few of the IT woes at the IRS are visible to the general public (e.g. The "Get Transcript" tool hack). Under the surface, the agency is struggling to modernize its creaky tech, feeling the strain of a budget crunch that forces the agency to abandon new IT because of the costs of keeping its old technology running.
About FCW
FCW's editorial mission is to provide federal technology executives with the information, insights, and strategies necessary to successfully navigate the complex world of federal business. By providing federal technology executives with the "who" and "what" they need to know to get things done, FCW delivers access to a powerful, hard-to-reach audience that controls the technology purchasing in federal government. https://fcw.com

(Seattle, WA, March 08, 2016)-1105 Media, Inc. announced this week that Meighan Berberich has been promoted to president of TDWI.
TDWI, a division of 1105, is the leading source of business and technical education, research, and news on all things data. TDWI's comprehensive professional development resources help organizations advance their business intelligence, analytics, and data management teams and projects to more effectively transform data from a growing number of data sources into deeper analytical insights and impact.
Berberich, a seasoned marketing and media executive, has served as the vice president of marketing and general manager for TDWI since April 2015. She returned to 1105 Media after running her own marketing consulting practice focused on early-stage technology companies. She has a depth of experience in enterprise technology as well as the training and certification market. In her previous tenure at 1105, Berberich served as the marketing director—and later, as the general manager—of the Business Technologies Group at 1105 Media which included TDWI. During those six years, Berberich contributed to the dramatic growth of the group's portfolio and profitability, launching more than a dozen products including online and offline events, websites, e-newsletters, and research programs.
Berberich began her career in marketing and media at Miller Freeman. She has also held marketing management roles at Microsoft, Texas Instruments Inc., and Infineon Technologies AG in the United States and Europe.
In conjunction with this change, Steven Crofts will be assuming the role of TDWI chairman. In this new role, Crofts will be focused on providing strategic guidance to TDWI leadership and will spearhead new strategic alliances to expand the reach of the TDWI brand.
"TDWI is a critical component of the 1105 portfolio operating in a very exciting market space where there is tremendous opportunity," said Rajeev Kapur, chief executive officer for 1105 Media. "Meighan's wealth of market knowledge, proven leadership ability, and passion for helping companies create more business value with data will help drive continued growth and innovation at TDWI. With Meighan as president and Steven as chairman, we are well positioned to drive TDWI forward."
"I'm thrilled to be taking on this new leadership role at TDWI," said Berberich. "TDWI features a solid portfolio of high-quality, market-leading education, research, and online media with tremendous growth potential. I look forward to working with the team to evolve and expand this portfolio, ensuring we continue to deliver a great experience and ongoing value to the communities we serve."
Berberich will be based in 1105's Seattle-area office.

(VIENNA, VA, March 8, 2016)-1105 Media, Inc. is excited to announce that Gabrielle "Gabby" Giffords, former Arizona Congresswoman, and Mark Kelly, retired astronaut and U.S. Navy Captain, will deliver a keynote address at the ACQUIRE Conference & Expo on June 9, 2016 at the Walter E. Washington Convention Center in Washington, DC.
Distinguished public servants and models of dedication and resilience, Gabby Giffords and Mark Kelly represent the very essence of American heroism. Kelly flew 39 combat missions over Iraq and Kuwait during the first Gulf War, spent over 50 days in orbit and served as the commander of Space Shuttle Endeavour on its final flight. The youngest woman ever elected to the Arizona State Senate, Giffords represented her community in the Arizona Legislature from 2000-2005, and then in Congress from 2006-2012, consistently ranking as one of the most centrist legislators in Congress.
On January 8, 2011, an assassination attempt at an event with constituents in Tucson, Arizona, left Giffords severely wounded, shot in the head from near point blank range. Since then, the couple has inspired individuals around the world with their story of hope and courage in the wake of tragedy, serving as a symbol for the possibility of second chances.
"There is no more fitting way to kick off this inaugural event than by hearing from Mark Kelly and Gabby Giffords, a couple who has inspired millions," said Anne A. Armstrong, Chief Content Officer at 1105 Media. "Kelly and Giffords show by example what determination, a commitment to public service and a belief in mission can accomplish."
Produced by the media teams behind the FCW, GCN, Washington Technology, Defense Systems and Federal Soup brands, ACQUIRE is a new two-day conference & EXPO for government, military and contractor professionals looking to deliver on agency missions. Covering a program’s entire lifecycle-from policy setting to end user experience-ACQUIRE offers thought leadership, training courses from a diverse range of government agencies and an exhibit hall packed with vendors. Featuring leading providers of products, solutions and services to the government market, the EXPO floor has multiple pavilions: Information Technology, Acquisition Management, Professional Services and Office Management-plus a Federal consumer experience in Happy Fed.
Registration is free for government and military professionals. Sponsorships and booth sales for ACQUIRE are available. Please visit: https://ACQUIREshow.com.
Note to media: Registration for credentialed media will be available in March.

(VIENNA, VA., January 28, 2016)— 1105 Public Sector Media Group and BMC are pleased to announce the 5th annual BMC Exchange to be held on February 2nd, ‘Digital Enterprise Management – IT Solutions To Make Digital Government Fast, Seamless, and Optimized.’
Announced speakers include award-winning journalist, director and author of The Perfect Storm and War, Sebastian Junger as the keynote, Dr. David Bray, CIO of the Federal Communications Commission and Richard McKinney, CIO of the Department of Transportation.
BMC is presenting a multi-track program where attendees can learn the latest innovations in cybersecurity, hybrid IT models, operational excellence and modern digital workplace services. The event will also feature hands-on tutorial sessions in Cloud Management & Data Center Automation, Performance Management & Analytics and Control-M Workload Automation. A partner pavilion will allow attendees to experience some of the latest products and services dedicated to digital enterprise management.
“When people talk about “modernizing” government, they often are thinking about modernizing the
legacy IT infrastructure. The infrastructure certainly is part of any modernization effort. But the real payoff in modernization comes when an agency updates its business processes as well as transforming its IT operations to support the agency’s mission.” said Anne Armstrong, Co-President & Chief Content Officer, 1105 Public Sector Media Group. “This event embraces that focus.”
“BMC’s Digital Enterprise Management strategy helps federal agencies ensure that the performance, integrity, efficiency, and agility of their digital services are world-class,” said Brian Marvin, Vice President BMC Federal. “At this event, BMC will provide federal IT professionals with access to leading experts in Digital Enterprise Management both at BMC and its vital partners.”
The event will be held at the Ronald Reagan Building and International Trade Center. For more information, visit the event website: https://fcw.com/bmcexchangefederal2016
