2: IT Use
Use Information Technology to improve mission accomplishment, at lowest cost Other Information:
The overarching mission of DOE is “discover the solutions to power and secure America’s future.” Within this context this
IRM strategic goal becomes an enabler to achieving DOE’s mission. The Department will successfully realize this goal primarily
through leveraging E-Government opportunities and by development of the Department E-Government Strategy. DOE’s E-Government
Strategy directly supports the PMA, the Federal Lines of Business initiative, and the Department’s core mission requirements
by evaluating and applying new information technologies and simplifying access to energy-related Government information and
services. The goal is to adhere to the three basic principles established by the PMA: 1. To be Citizen-centered, not bureaucracy
or Agency-centered 2. To be Results-oriented, producing measurable improvements for citizens 3. To be Market-based, actively
promoting innovation. Information Technology is also a key supporting element in accomplishing DOE goals. As such, it must
be acquired, managed, and used in a way that maximizes its efficiency and effectiveness in supporting missions. To achieve
this, the OCIO has established an IT governance structure and process that enables improved mission accomplishment at lowest
cost, through the use of Information Technology. This governance structure includes a Departmental IT capital planning and
investment control process, EA program, IT project and asset management processes, and IT acquisition framework to achieve
efficiency.
