    Roadmap for a Digital Government

    Like the 1990s, we are now in the midst of another important shift in how people consume and deliver information and services. In 2011, global smartphone shipments exceeded personal computer shipments for the first time in history, and more Americans will soon access the Internet via mobile devices than desktop PCs.

We are working aggressively to meet the challenge of doing more with less, and we are seeing real results.
