Fedscoop: Don’t look now, but the Trump administration seems to have found an Obama-era government policy it’d like to keep around: modernizing government IT.
On Monday, President Trump’s American Technology Council met for the first time. The room was filled with leaders from government, academia and tech, including big Silicon Valley names, like Apple CEO Tim Cook and Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos.
“Our goal is to lead a sweeping transformation of our government’s technology,” Trump told the gathered crowd in his opening comments. Modern government IT systems will provide better services for citizens, greater protection against cyberattacks and a lot of taxpayer savings, he added. His comments, especially on the potential savings, echoed those made by Chris Liddell at FedTalks.
