Evans Discusses the Benefit of the CIO Council: It\'s really a good forum and a good place for us to take on issues that are crosscutting, to make sure OMB hasn\'t lost sight of what the agencies needs are, and it gives them the opportunity to then interact with each other and share best practices.

One of the hardest issues we have to face is something called deconfliction. In other words, different people in different agencies, both within the federal government and at the state and local level, can all have interest in the same party and not know it - and be working on the same case.
