“This is exactly what Congress should be doing to encourage agencies to bring government services into the 21st Century. Congressional oversight will be a critical driver in agency modernization plans and execution,” said Matt Cornelius, the executive director of the Alliance for Digital Innovation, an industry association, and a former OMB senior technology and cybersecurity advisor, in an email to Federal News Network. “We need more of this. Congress should be asking every agency probing questions, every year and in every appropriations hearing, about their plan to retire their most cumbersome and insecure legacy systems and what concrete steps they will take to ensure their agency is leveraging commercial capabilities to deliver an enhanced customer experience to citizens.”
