CIO Survey
Transparency and Transformation Through Technology: TechAmerica’s 20th Annual Survey of Federal Chief Information Officers, March 2010
The U.S. Federal Government has the world’s largest information technology budget. Federal IT will play an important role in creating one of President Obama’s top priorities: building a more open government that is transparent, participatory and collaborative. Federal IT officials who participated in the 20th annual TechAmerica survey are excited to be helping fundamentally changing how the federal government and its constituents interact using information technology. They believe that broadening public participation and involvement in the public sector will create greater trust in government, increase the value of government services and unleash innovations in governing and service delivery.
The 2010 survey includes a range of topics:
- transparency and transformation through technology
- cybersecurity, Cloud Computing, Web 2.0, social media, Thin Client, Green IT and other emerging technologies
- the IT workforce, performance management and accountability, and acquisition reform and sourcing
- the effect on federal CIOs of the American Reinvestment and Recovery Act of 2009
Through this annual survey, IT officials, oversight groups and congressional staff share their views of the challenges federal CIOs face now and in the future. As in past years, TechAmerica received support from Grant Thornton’s Global Public Sector, which sponsored and conducted this survey. TechAmerica is the leading voice of the U.S. technology industry, representing 1,200 member companies.
