In January 1994 testimony (GAO/T-OCG-94-1), the Comptroller General underscored the need for agencies to hire chief information officers who can help senior management (1) define strategic information management priorities and (2) support program officials and the chief financial officer in defining information needs and developing strategies, systems, and capabilities to meet those needs. This testimony focuses on the need to establish a chief information officer within the General Services Administration, which manages billions of dollars in federal property, administers the government's telephone service, and participates in the technology acquisitions of each federal agency. https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-T-AIMD-94-98/html/GAOREPORTS-T-AIMD-94-98.htm GAO/T-AIMD-94-98 https://www.govinfo.gov/app/details/GAOREPORTS-T-AIMD-94-98 Testimony GAO/T-AIMD-94-98; Information Management: Need for a Chief Information Officer for the General Services Administration; Financial management systems Federal agency reorganization Management information systems Internal controls General management reviews Information resources management Strategic information systems planning Information systems analysis GMR TQM
