Line of Business initiatives

Overview
In March 2004, the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) established multiple Line of Business (LOB) initiatives to consolidate redundant IT investments and business processes across the federal government in areas including case management, grants management, human resources management, federal health architecture, information systems security, budget formulation and execution, geospatial information, financial management, and IT infrastructure.

Each LOB initiative is led by an individual agency and supported by other relevant agencies. One of the initiatives’ goals is to reduce costs government-wide through consolidation and standardization, and OMB reports to Congress each year on the costs and benefits of these initiatives.
