GAO noted that: (1) federal agencies have failed to reengineer their business and program delivery processes before acquiring new information systems, which results in costly IT resources; (2) ITMRA should empower federal agencies to make wise acquisitions of IT products and services; (3) lessons learned from other governmentwide management reforms indicate the need for senior management involvement, consistent oversight and leadership from the Office of Management and Budget (OMB), and a focus on capital investment and planning, reengineering, and performance measurement; (4) OMB has organized interagency discussions on needed policy and guidance changes and issued guidance on selecting, controlling, and evaluating agencies' IT investments; (5) OMB has established an interagency Chief Information Officers (CIO) working group to assist in developing policies, guidance, and information needed for effective ITMRA implementation; (6) the Administration is ensuring that CIO candidates are qualified and given sufficient authority and responsibility and that core legislative requirements are met; (7) challenges to ITMRA implementation include involving top agency management, consistently directing CIO appointments and organizational placement, building new IT skills, focusing on internal implementation at the department-level, and continually emphasizing an integrated management approach; and (8) congressional support and oversight is essential to ensuring successful implementation of ITMRA. https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-T-AIMD-96-132/html/GAOREPORTS-T-AIMD-96-132.htm https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-T-AIMD-96-132/pdf/GAOREPORTS-T-AIMD-96-132.pdf GAO/T-AIMD-96-132 https://www.govinfo.gov/app/details/GAOREPORTS-T-AIMD-96-132 Testimony GAO/T-AIMD-96-132; Information Management Reform: Effective Implementation Is Essential for Improving Federal Performance; Information resources management ADP procurement Procurement regulation Reengineering (management) Strategic information systems planning Cost control Interagency relations Management information systems Oversight by Congress FAA Air Traffic Control Modernization Program IRS Tax System Modernization Program TSM National Performance Review OMB Information Technology Investment Guide GSA Time Out Program OMB 2000
