E-GOVERNMENT: Making Effective Agency Investments

Marriott at Metro Center, 775 12th Street, NW
Washington, DC
June 19, 2001

Learn how agencies are managing their IT portfolios, investing in their applications and infrastructure, and implementing the Information Technology Management Resources Act.

  • Government professionals concerned with managing the strategic planning and budgeting of IT
  • CIO’s and their staffs
  • CFO’s and their staffs
  • Program managers
  • IT professionals

E-Government is here. To meet the public’s and internal customers’ expectations for web-enabled applications, agency portals, secure networks, and robust networks is a non-trivial task. The GPRA, GPEA, and the ITMRA require agencies to plan, budget, manage, and report on how they are re-engineering paper based processes into IT enabled and supported activities. Because agency program and IT staff are expected to lead this transformation without significant increases in funding, the use of best practices from other public sector agencies is essential.

This seminar provides a business-focused look at how agencies are planning for the future by aligning IT with programs, building a robust and flexible infrastructure, and developing “business case” funding strategies and investment strategies. Attendees will also learn about what agency budget officers, OMB staff, and Congressional Committees think makes a successful IT budget request.
