Washington, DC - Marking the second anniversary of the E-Government Act of 2002, the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) released a report today which highlights the results and future path of President George W. Bush’s goal of Expanding Electronic Government. The report identifies improved service delivery, enhanced role of enterprise architecture and future steps to be accomplished as part of the President’s Management Agenda.
“Federal employees are working together, both within their agencies and across the Federal government. In concert with the four other management agenda goals, E-government is transforming our agencies and producing results by providing improved services,” said Clay Johnson III, Deputy Director for Management for OMB.
The report outlines specific goals for the federal government in FY2005 including:
