Accelerating Federal Mobility—Agencies are increasingly using mobile technologies (e.g., laptops, smartphones, tablets, location-based services, hand-held scanners, wi-fi, etc.) to provide information, products, and services to customers and to facilitate internal and external communications, collaboration, and operations.
However, agencies need stronger policies and procedures to ensure that mobile technologies/services are acquired and used strategically and securely. Mobility efforts are frequently developed and managed at the program-level, and valuable resources or lessons learned are not shared across the enterprise. Recent GAO and OMB internal reports have found gaps in security in current mobile systems and controls. The procurement of mobile devices is often scattered across the agency, bypassing enterprise-wide efforts designed to leverage bulk purchasing discounts. The Administration will publish a Mobile Strategy in FY2012 to ensure that the Federal Government cost-effectively capitalizes on mobility solutions.
