Federal government employees do a lot of good work, but too often that work happens in silos. When employees rely on desktop solutions (such as Microsoft Word or Excel), there is no seamless way to collect all the data from individual systems into a coherent, agencywide view — and it’s a challenge to do it in real time. It also limits employees’ ability to collaborate, and makes it difficult to standardize new processes and best practices. Collaborative work and real-time data-sharing, however, are increasingly goals of agency leadership, who recognize the impact that comprehensive, real-time views of agency projects and programs have on decision-making.
