Executive Office of the President: Expanding E-Government – Achieving Results for the American People, May 2008.

“The Federal Government continues to improve services and deliver results through the adoption and implementation of the E-Government (E-Gov) initiatives and common government wide solutions. The departments and agencies continue to make great improvements in the area of security and privacy with their implementation efforts underway for the requirements included in Homeland Security Presidential Directive-12 (HSPD-12), the Trusted Internet Connection (TIC) and the specific efforts for securing personally identifiable information. The United States Government continues to be one of the largest users and acquirers of data, information and supporting technology systems in the world, by investing approximately $70 billion annually on Information Technology (IT). The Federal Government has made improvements but continues to strive to be the world’s leader in managing technology and information to achieve the greatest gains of productivity, service and results. Implementation of the E-Gov initiatives and the common government wide solutions has delivered significant results to the taxpayer and federal employees alike with $508 million of actual cost saving being reported this past fiscal year.”
