Government IT Community: Laws & Regulations

Comments: More for Mission The 2012 Annual Report of the GSA Office of Citizen Services and Innovative Technologies Innovative Technologies OCSIT is the government-wide champion for cloud computing, helping agencies to identify and move to cloud-based solutions whenever a secure, reliable, cost-effective cloud option exists. Our Federal Cloud Computing Initiative Program Management Office is leading the way with government-wide implementation actions: Our Federal Cloud Computing Initiative focuses on implementing cloud solutions that increase operational efficiency; optimize common services and solutions across organizational boundaries; and enable transparent, collaborative and participatory government. These ground-breaking efforts help to close the IT performance gap between the federal government and the private sector. Building a 21st Century Platform to Better Serve the American People We’ve had a significant leadership role in the development and implementation of the Digital Government Strategy, which was designed to ensure federal agencies use emerging technologies to serve the American people as effectively as possible through improved web services and mobile applications. We helped federal agencies develop mobile government strategies and apps, hosted a central web platform for hosting innovation challenges, and enabled an increasing number of ways the public can talk with government. This transparency and openness leads to better management, operational efficiencies, and greater accountability for results.
