Chief information officers are to provide advice and assistance to senior management and program officials on acquisition and management of information resources. They are also responsible for establishing procedures to improve planning and control of agency investments in information technology. This report (1) reviews NASA's approach to establishing its chief information officer position, (2) evaluates chief information officer initiatives to date to improve information resources management, and (3) identifies opportunities for NASA to strengthen its chief information officer position and improve its information resources management program. https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-AIMD-96-78/html/GAOREPORTS-AIMD-96-78.htm https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-AIMD-96-78/pdf/GAOREPORTS-AIMD-96-78.pdf GAO/AIMD-96-78 https://www.govinfo.gov/app/details/GAOREPORTS-AIMD-96-78 Letter Report GAO/AIMD-96-78; NASA Chief Information Officer: Opportunities to Strengthen Information Resources Management; Information resources management ADP procurement Strategic information systems planning Systems design Budget authority Accounting procedures Chief information officers Systems compatibility NASA External Tank Computer Aided Productivity System NASA Earth Observing System Data Information System NASA Equipment Management System
