Expert Dialogue: The Obama IT Agenda
Your chance to ask questions about the administration's 25-point plan for overhauling how the government purchases and manages information technology.
Nextgov is pleased to announce the latest in our series of Expert Dialogues.
Expert Dialogues is your chance to engage in conversations with leading practitioners and observers on key issues surrounding the government's use and implementation of information technology. In each dialogue, we take your questions for a week, forward them to an expert, then publish the responses. All the while, you can continue the conversation in our discussion forums.
Our latest dialogue is on the Obama administration's 25-point plan for overhauling how the government purchases and manages information technology. The strategy entails outsourcing IT to the cloud; synchronizing upgrade schedules with congressional spending schedules; hiring professional IT program managers; allowing communication between federal managers and vendors; and convening meetings with agency leaders and project managers to evaluate projects.
If you're wondering how all of that will play out in the real world, here's your chance to ask someone who has been following the Obama administration's IT efforts for two years. During the week of Jan. 3, Nextgov Staff Correspondent Aliya Sternstein will take your questions. She'll be back the week of Jan. 18 with her responses.
