Dan Turissini and Christine Robinson to Publish Security Paper in '2010 BPM & Workflow Handbook'

WASHINGTON, April 6 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- WidePoint Corporation (NYSE Amex: WYY), a specialist in wireless mobility management and cybersecurity solutions, today announced that Dan Turissini, Chief Technology Officer of WidePoint and CEO of Operational Research Consultants, a wholly owned subsidiary of WidePoint and a leading provider of information technology and identity assurance services, and industry expert and renowned author on homeland security and defense, Christine Robinson, principal of Christine Robinson & Associates, are co-authoring a paper called, "Transforming Security through Enterprise Architecture and BPM" for the "2010 BPM & Workflow Handbook." The co-authors will also present their paper at the Process.gov Conference in Reston, Virginia, on April 15.

The international trade group and standards body named the Workflow Management Coalition, in conjunction with publisher Future Strategies, annually stages an international call for papers for which experts compete from around the world. This annual handbook serves as an international authority on BPM (Business Process Management), and is used as a resource by members of academia, business, and government seeking the latest innovative thinking among academic, industry, and government leaders from around the world. An international panel of judges selected Mr. Turissini's and Ms. Robinson's paper on a subject that strikes fear in the hearts and minds of many and presents one of the most critical and complex areas to solve.

In their security paper, the authors explore how to plan and implement security throughout an organization and its interrelationships. The basis for the current paper was a paper Ms. Robinson submitted and published last year, called "Transforming Health Care through Enterprise Architecture and BPM," which explored security on a more cursory level and became one of the international panel of judges' favorite papers from around the world. This time, Mr. Turissini's and Ms. Robinson's security paper will extend this groundbreaking approach, which challenges traditional thinking to describe security in a new, and far more powerful way. Their unique combination of expertise in enterprise architecture, BPM, and security, results in readily understandable and implementable means by which to truly transform security. Their paper seeks to equip leadership and practitioners alike with the fundamental tools for radical transformation.

In writing this paper, Mr. Turissini and Ms. Robinson have collaborated with leaders across the federal government, academia, and in private industry. They discuss security from a variety of perspectives to include governance, planning, design, and cloud computing. The paper also explores the unique characteristics of energy, the Next Generation U.S. Airspace, and health care, which are some of the largest information-sharing environments and integral parts of the country's critical infrastructure. They discuss physical security, cybersecurity, business continuity and disaster recovery, and more. As a notable side benefit, they are fostering partnership and coalition among a number of the constituents they have consulted as part of their research.
