Excerpt
Excerpt: Information technology can be a key element of management reform, dramatically reshaping government to make it more responsive and efficient. Today?s rapid technological change and innovation, including the growth of the Internet, offer unprecedented opportunities to use information technology to enhance government service to citizens by improving performance and reducing costs. These opportunities, however, create great challenges: ensuring that new electronic technologies are effectively applied and used, that government information is properly managed, and that the privacy and security of government data in computerized systems and networks are fully protected. The Information Technology team leads GAO?s efforts to help the government address these and other important challenges by working to build the government?s capacity to manage information technology and to manage the collection, use, and dissemination of information in an era of rapidly changing technology. We also seek to strengthen information security and to protect the computer and telecommunications systems that support the nation?s vital infrastructures.
