2012 Digital Government Strategy

The 2012 Digital Government Strategy mission drives agencies, and the need to deliver better services to customers at a lower cost—whether an agency is supporting the warfighter overseas, a teacher seeking classroom resources, or a family figuring out how to pay for college is pushing every level of government to look for new solutions.

The Digital Government Strategy complements several initiatives aimed at building a 21st-century government that works better for the American people. These include:

• Executive Order 13571, Streamlining Service Delivery and Improving Customer Service
• Executive Order 13576, Delivering an Efficient, Effective, and Accountable Government
• Presidential Memorandum on Transparency and Open Government
• OMB Memorandum M-10-06, Open Government Directive
• National Strategy for Trusted Identities in Cyberspace - (NSTIC)
• 25-Point Implementation Plan to Reform Federal Information Technology Management (IT Reform)

The Digital Government Strategy incorporates a broad range of input from government practitioners, the public, and private-sector experts. Two cross-governmental working groups – the Mobility Strategy and Web Reform Task Forces – provided guidance and recommendations for building a digital government.
