Internet Reality Check

5:30 pm Thursday, 24 June 1999

Board Room, National Press Club, Canberra

Topic: External Information, Intranets & Knowledge Management

Special Guest: Mark Ostryn, CEO The DIALOG Corporation, Australia

Mark Ostryn will be in Canberra to discuss how The Dialog Corporations new range of products help organisations integrate their internal 'knowledge assets' with structured external information. Knowledge management focused on the contents of an Intranet goes only so far in assisting corporations and large government agencies to deliver strategic decision-making. External information also plays an increasingly important role.

Mark Ostryn is responsible for The Dialog Corporation’s Australian operations. The Dialog Corporation is the market leader in providing online business and technical information to organisations around the world and has over 3,000 organisations as customers in Australia including most government departments and agencies. Mark is responsible for co-ordinating company developments in Australia and New Zealand as well as developing publishing and alliance partnerships.

Join Mark to discuss:

Why access to structured external data sources is critical for an organisation's knowledge management processes and access to competitive intelligence
How organisations can integrate their internal information assets with external information sources
Case studies of organisations that have improved their operational effectiveness and competitiveness as a result of leveraging both internal and external information sources

IRCs are free (but you have to buy your own drinks and one for the special guest) and open to anyone interested: just turn up. Internet Reality Check (not to be confused with Internet Relay Chat) is designed so that members of the 'net community can meet and exchange the small amount of very important information which is not suitable for digital transmission. ;-)

The Dialog Corporation will also present a seminar on Wednesday 23rd June 1999 in the Black Mountain Room, Hyatt Hotel in Canberra between 5:30pm and 6:30pm. Cocktails will be served on conclusion. To attend, please contact Sharon Ovenden by Monday, 21st June at 1800 65 45 25. Email : sharon_ovenden@dialog.com
