BUSH'S BUDGET STRESSES RETURN ON INVESTMENTS IN I.T.

摘要

Dig deep into president bush's $2.57 trillion budget for fiscal year 2006, including $65.2 billion for IT, and notice how much IT is embedded into the fabric of government. A four-year effort by our first MBA president to require agencies to present business cases for IT investments is reshaping how the government spends money on technology. "The payoff has been known for some time, but it's been the culture of government that created roadblocks to more efficient use of available technology," says David McClure, a Gartner research director and one-time IT director at the Government Accountability Office, the audit arm of Congress.
