Executive Survey: Data and Finance

wfedstaff — Fri, 18 Mar 2022 14:50:01 +0000

Today, the tool box of federal chief financial officers is filled with a broader assortment instruments than ever before to make sure payments go to the correct person or business in the right amount.

There is robotics process automation to address “low-value” or menial tasks. There is predictive analytics, artificial intelligence and machine learning to provide decision makers with near real-time information. Underlying all of these tools is the data.

Federal News Network surveyed five agencies about their approach to squeezing more out of their data to protect taxpayer money.

Executive Survey: Cloud Analytics

wfedstaff — Thu, 03 Mar 2022 20:40:01 +0000

Agencies are in the beginning stages of the software as a service (SaaS) wave where they can modernize applications, move them to the cloud and constantly upgrade them as their mission needs change.

But many are pushing toward phase two that brings more modern, cloud-ready applications out of the data center and onto a commercial offering.

Federal News Network surveyed five agencies to detail the current and future impact of SaaS across their mission areas.

Strategic Guidance Survey: Enterprise Risk Management

wfedstaff — Tue, 02 Nov 2021 20:37:02 +0000

It’s been more than five years since the Office of Management and Budget added enterprise risk management to Circular A-123 as a way to standardize the management and mitigation of risk.

While agencies have realized that there is no one approach to managing the ever-growing set of risks, they have found there are some common themes and factors that make up a valuable program.

Data, for example, underlies almost every part of enterprise risk management.

Federal News Network surveyed six agencies about their approach to risk management, including the use of cloud services, artificial intelligence, advanced analytics and other technologies.

Strategic Guidance Survey: Managing IT as a Business

wfedstaff — Fri, 07 May 2021 16:31:01 +0000

Over the last five years, the push toward IT modernization has created gaps. Not gaps in cybersecurity or workforce skillsets—we know about those–but blind spots in just how much money these new technologies are costing agencies.

The gaps in the data mean mission and technology executives struggle to do budget forecasting and planning, which then could lead to not having the money to meet immediate needs or during critical times of the year.

This strategic guidance survey details how CIOs at ITA, LoC and other agencies are maximizing their investments to make sure resources are aligned to mission goals. In the end, that’s what managing IT as a business is all about—ensuring the mission has what it needs to be successful.
