Joseph Marks writes GAO identified 200 IT reform opportunities that could save agencies up to $5.8 billion through 2015.
GAO’s savings projection is more than double the $2.5 billion estimated by U.S. Chief Information Officer Steven VanRoekel, according to the report.
PortfolioStat launched in March 2012 and VanRoekel expanded the program this year to give agency-level CIOs more authority and help agencies to further streamline IT operations, Marks reports.
