Federal IT Shared Services Strategy

Citation
Federal Chief Information Officer,  Federal IT Shared Services Strategy (May 2, 2012).

Overview
This strategy was first outlined in the December 2010 "25-Point Implementation Plan to Reform Federal IT Management." It covers the entire spectrum of IT shared service opportunities throughout the Federal Government and promotes the use of existing and new strategic sourcing methods where agencies can combine their buying power for similar IT needs and get lower prices and improved service leverage in the process.

Leveraged with existing policy on TechStat and PortfolioStat, agencies will use this strategy to assess the maturity of their IT portfolio management process, make decisions on eliminating duplication, and consolidate commodity IT systems, services, and related contracts in order to maximize the return on IT investments across the portfolio.
