The Trump administration wants to make sure that chief information officers aren’t “just another back office function,” Eric Ueland — deputy director for management at the Office of Management and Budget — said last week at GovExec’s Government Efficiency Summit.
Technology is a top priority for OMB, he said, alongside reorganization, procurement reform and Made in America policies.
“OMB is going to break down barriers, ensure integration and drive for outcomes to lend value to agencies and departments and ultimately to taxpayers,” he said. “Otherwise, CIOs will end up as just another back office function where you think you go to find a replacement charger cord.”
