“The stars are aligned” for a bill that could codify the use of shared services across government, much like the Federal IT Acquisition Reform Act galvanized support for agency CIOs, said John Marshall, founder and CEO of the Shared Services Leadership Coalition, at an AGA leadership conference panel on Feb. 23.
Marshall said a shared services bill might find fertile ground on Capitol Hill this year. He said that with the Obama administration looking for legislative wins, and Congress looking to show the public it can agree and unite on something meaningful, such a bill could be possible.
