OMB seeks to once again empower agency CIOs

The Office of Management and Budget is once again trying to empower agency chief information officers around IT buying decisions.
Federal Chief Information Officer Greg Barbaccia told agencies recently that OMB is finalizing an effort to "make sure you have ultimate decision-making authority over all of your agency's IT acquisitions. We will be requesting contract information from you and to make sure your contracts include appropriate clauses on providing utilization rates and pricing information."
