President Obama has challenged his Administration to make government work better for the American people, and to find ways to do more with less. Here at the Department of the Interior, we are proud to play a lead role in helping meet the President’s charge.
Today, we are announcing our strategic plan as part of the largest information technology (IT) reform in the federal government. Through this plan, we are making smart changes to IT services across the Department that will make our IT more cost-effective and customer-friendly while saving taxpayers half a billion dollars over the next decade.
Some of the common-sense reforms we are undertaking include:
- Reducing the number of data centers and servers within the Department by up to 50 percent
- Moving to a single email system at half the current cost
- Moving to the cloud, with a cloud-based electronic forms system and cloud-based electronic records, documents and content management solutions.
