PART 2: SUPPORT OF 2005 SSP GOALS AND OBJECTIVES

Objective 9. Increase the Value of Electronic Data and Information



Information held by government resides in abundant quantities, in multiple versions, and in various formats within mainframes, network servers, desktop hard drives, e-mail systems, and mobile devices. Without tools and processes to locate and retrieve required files, data is effectively useless. To enhance their value, data and information must be controlled systematically from creation to disposition. Managing information consistently will minimize redundancy in data collection and storage, improve data accuracy, increase staff productivity, and improve system performance.
