2 Executive Summary Background: On May 23, 2012 the Administration published Digital Government Building a 21 st Century Platform to Better Serve the American People. The strategy requires government agencies to take proactive steps to: Extend access to government data Adopt & support emerging technology and shared services Protect information resources Additional guidance (e.g. Open Data policy, web tracking) continues to be published to meet the goals of the Digital Strategy.

3 Digital Strategy - Strategic Objectives Enable the American people and an increasingly mobile workforce to access high-quality digital government information and services anywhere, anytime, on any device. Ensure that as the government adjusts to this new digital world, we seize the opportunity to procure and manage devices, applications, and data in smart, secure and affordable ways. Unlock the power of government data to spur innovation across our Nation and improve the quality of services for the American people.

4 Digital Strategy - Strategic Principles An Information-Centric approach Moves us from managing documents to managing discrete pieces of open data and content which can be tagged, shared, secured, mashed up and presented in the way that is most useful for the consumer of that information. A Shared Platform approach Helps us work together, both within and across agencies, to reduce costs, streamline development, apply consistent standards, and ensure consistency in how we create and deliver information. A Customer-Centric approach Influences how we create, manage, and present data through websites, mobile applications, raw data sets, and other modes of delivery, and allows customers to shape, share and consume information, whenever and however they want it. A platform of Security and Privacy Ensures this innovation happens in a way that ensures the safe and secure delivery and use of digital services to protect information and privacy.
