2: eGov Initiatives

Support the President’s E-Government initiatives

Other Information:

DOE continues to support the President’s E-Government Initiatives. DOE is an active participant in 19 of 24 of these initiatives and is involved in the six Federal Lines of Business initiatives. DOE is developing an enterprise IT acquisition framework that will govern Department IT acquisitions in accordance with the government-wide SmartBUY program. DOE recognizes that active partnership in these important government-wide initiatives will result in government cost reductions, improved services to citizens, business-process and technology standardization, and elimination of duplicative systems. Through the LoB initiatives, partner agencies will use EA based principles and best practices, proven through the E-Government initiatives and Federal Enterprise Architecture (FEA), to implement common solutions. The standardization and consolidation of each agency’s systems will decrease redundancy while driving cost savings through reduced full-time equivalent (FTE) requirements, system development and operation cost reductions, and process standardization. The end result of the LoB efforts will be to save taxpayer dollars, reduce administrative burdens, and significantly improve information management services across the government.
