3.2: Partnerships

Expand partnerships with other Government Agencies and commercial partners to identify best practices in the acquisition, development, and maintenance of new IT, particularly in light of the proposed commercialization of space travel.

Other Information:

NASA recognizes that open collaboration with other Agencies and industry partners is a key component in the identification and sharing of methodologies to efficiently and effectively transition solution capabilities into an operational environment. Furthermore, the performance of the new capabilities must be monitored and measured against the relevant business expectations to determine what, if any, further investment is warranted. This collaboration is expected to help more closely align NASA’s IT architecture, processes, and capabilities with industry trends. Supporting achievement of this objective, NASA will provide continued effort towards the E-Government initiative to transparently enhance citizen participation and reduce government costs through process and technology standardization.
