Norman Lorentz's business card reads "Executive
Office of the President." As Bush's chief technologist
-- the first CTO of the Office of Management and
Budget (OMB) -- he is charged with fulfilling the
White House's technical mission -- rearchitecting the
federal governments' massive siloed systems under
the Federal Enterprise Architecture (FEA).
It's no small feat applying a private-sector approach
to the fed government. Lorentz leads a cross-agency
task to re-engineer the "business processes that
serve the citizens," he says, and define and apply
standard performance metrics and a data reference
model.
In doing so, Lorentz is analyzing closely the fed's $56.2 billion IT budget, to
identify business process gaps and redundancies and to see how federal
agencies invest their IT dollars. The FEA is now integrated into the annual
federal government budget process.
"Moving forward with these efforts will directly impact the velocity of the
economic recovery for our country, by creating an environment where the
private sector is fully engaged in providing the necessary solutions to these
imperatives," Lorentz says.
