The White House advanced an effort launched in Congress years ago to put the federal government on a digital footing. Late Friday, the Office of Management and Budget released guidance directing agencies to deliver a “digital-first public experience,” and giving agencies details and deadlines for the implementation of the 21st Century IDEA Act, which was signed into law four years ago.
“This policy guidance gives federal agencies the mandate and the momentum that we need to deliver federal government that meets today’s expectations,” Clare Martorana, federal chief information officer, told Nextgov/FCW. It “is going to transform the way the federal government interacts and delivers for Americans.”
