4: Technology
Using Technology to Drive Productivity Gains Other Information:
The Federal government spends over $80 billion annually on information technology (IT). This technology supports every mission
our government performs — from defending our borders to protecting the environment. IT is essential for the government to
do its work, and it is essential that we have access to the latest and most innovative technologies. However, compared to
the technology-driven productivity gains seen in the private sector, the Federal government has not received commensurate
return from its over $500 billion in IT investments over the past ten years. Under the leadership of the Federal Chief Information
Officer (CIO), the Administration has led the effort to close the gap in effective technology use between the private and
public sectors.
