PERFORMANCE HIGHLIGHTS Measuring and improving service delivery to bring about a positive business experience and outcome for the FTC is a key imperative. To this end, the agency tracks unplanned, unscheduled service outage periods to monitor the reliability and availability (commonly referred to as “uptime”) of almost 30 critical information technology services such as the network, email, BlackBerry servers, Internet/Intranet, telecommunications, Wide Area Network connectivity, the agency’s citizen-centric website (www. FTC.gov), and enterprise-wide client applications. The high availability rate in FY 2010 for this pool of critical services helped ensure that the agency had optimal informational technology infrastructure operations and performance, which is key to meeting the agency’s strategic goals.
