The White House said that the government needs a major overhaul of IT systems and should take steps to better protect data and accelerate efforts to use cloud-based technology. “Difficulties in agency prioritization of resources in support of IT modernization, ability to procure services quickly, and technical issues have resulted in an unwieldy and out-of-date federal IT infrastructure.”
The President in April signed an executive order creating a new technology council to overhaul the U.S. government’s information technology systems. The report said the federal government must eliminate barriers to using commercial cloud-based technology. Government agencies often pay dramatically different prices for the same IT item, the report said, sometimes three or four times as much.
