The Final State of the Union
Today, as part of the Obama Administration’s Accountable Government Initiative, we released a list of 26 high-priority IT projects across the Federal government that have the potential for faster, smarter implementation. The programs we have identified, in coordination with the Agencies, are mission-critical and their objectives are as important as ever. By applying best-practices that are already delivering efficiencies in the private sector, we can make them work better and move faster. This effort is part of the coordinated, Administration-wide commitment to fundamentally change the way government does business and get more out of taxpayer dollars.
