And Why Government Will Never Be the Same Again

We are pleased to announce a meeting with Eric Brewer, Co-Founder and Chief Scientist of Inktomi as well as the founder and funder of the FirstGov.gov search engine which presently enables people to search more than 27 million state and federal documents over the web.
