SACRAMENTO, CA, October 25, 2002 - Hansen Information Technologies, the leading provider of the Frictionless Framework for government operations, today announced that Rudolph Giuliani, the 107th Mayor of New York City and Time Magazine's 2001 Man of the Year, will deliver the opening keynote address at the 2003 Innovative Government Forum to be held August 10-12, 2003 in Las Vegas, Nevada.

The Innovative Government Forum (IGF) is expected to attract hundreds of federal, state and local government officials, including mayors, council members, CIOs, directors of information technology, and departmental and administrative managers from around the world. IGF highlights the use of critical technologies that help manage the day-to-day operations of government. This year's conference focuses on key aspects of performance and critical infrastructure management.

"Many state and local governments are facing budget pressures that are forcing them to objectively review where inefficiencies exist and examine how internal processes can be optimized without sacrificing security or service levels," said Chuck Hansen, President and CEO of Hansen Information Technologies. "Mr. Giuliani's experience in turning around a city that was deemed unmanageable and ungovernable, plus his experience in advising companies on management effectiveness and service improvement, guarantee that this will be a conference providing fresh insight into new leadership models in tough times. If you go to only one conference in 2003, this is the one."

When Mayor Giuliani took office, he returned the work ethic to the center of city life. He enacted tax reductions that exceeded a record of over $2.5 billion. Additionally, hundreds of millions of dollars were returned to the private sector because of his aggressive campaign to root out organized crime. These reforms, combined with the fiscal discipline, enabled the Mayor to turn an inherited $2.3 billion dollar budget deficit into a multi-billion dollar surplus. Because of Giuliani's leadership, New York City moved into an era of broad-based growth with a record 450,000 new private-sector jobs created over seven years and tourism growing to record levels.
