Summary:

Increasingly, federal agencies' ability to improve performance and cut costs depends on automated data processing systems that give managers critical financial and programmatic information needed to make good decisions, hold down costs, and improve service to the public. However, major federal investments in information technology have often yielded poor results--costing more than expected, falling behind schedule, and failing to meet mission needs. To shed light on whether information technology dollars are being spent, what costs and benefits are anticipated, and what risks must be managed, this report provides information on overall federal information technology obligations, as well as on program by GAO, the Office of Management and Budget, and the General Services Administration to identify information technology investments that are at risk and in need of corrective action.
