On Aug. 15, Steven VanRoekel became the new federal chief information officer. He faces far more serious fiscal constraints than did his predecessor, Vivek Kundra.

With the administration looking to find $1.5 trillion in spending cuts as a result of the debt reduction deal reached with Congress, the stakes and expectations are high for VanRoekel.
