Technology News from Vivek Kundra via Datamasher
With the emergence of the Internet and the accelerated development of technology, new possibilities never before seen have changed the way we live and work. Now, government as well must change and adapt to these new advancements. Vivek Kundra, Federal Chief Information Officer is changing the way we as citizens touch base with our Federal government through Social Media, Web 2.0 and IT Dashboard and setting the standard for transparency and accountability in government.
As far as Vivek Kundra is concerned, fulfilling IT initiatives that are forward-looking and streamlined is priority. It is his promise that these initiatives can assist in getting more information to the American public, as well as encourage and further efficient communication via technical advances between Federal government agencies. The technical strategy he is currently overseeing for the Federal government will use open source coding and cloud computing, as well as many other intuitive methods that will, in the end, enable the United States government to achieve the Web 2.0 goals that presently seem ambitious but not impossible.
Vivek Kundra uses his IT expertise to oversee Federal government funded technology investments. Before being appointed the first Federal CIO of the Federal Government back in March 2009, Vivek Kundra was CTO for Washington D.C. and Assistant Secretary of Commerce and Technology for Virginia. He is well on the path to shifting the national, and possibly worldwide, position of how government interacts with its citizens.
