Evans Begins the Goodbyes
By Jill R. Aitoro | Monday, March 03, 2008 | 02:50 PM

The administration’s top IT official bid an early farewell to government and industry IT workers at the 2008 Information Processing Interagency Conference in Orlando, Fla., Monday before announcing the winners of government project management awards.

Acknowledging the approaching end of the Bush administration, Karen Evans, administrator of the office of e-government and information technology at the Office of Management and Budget, called her fifth keynote at IPIC “bittersweet.” She then acknowledged the work of agencies to achieve the goals of the e-government initiatives, which identified several governmentwide programs to integrate agency operations and information technology investments.

“It isn’t work OMB has done; the work is done by vendors that help the agencies and the agency ,” Evans said.

Recipients of government project management awards, some of which Evans announced last Tuesday and others that will be announced at a Wednesday session, were recognized for programs that demonstrate excellence in project management:

Cost Savings/Cost Avoidance
Winner: NASA’s Shared Services Center
Winner: The Office of Personnel Management’s Human Resources Integration

Retooling the Infrastructure
Winners: The Energy Department’s Pacific Northwest National Laboratory Campus Camera and Emergency Call Station System; and the Interior Department’s 104 Mainframe Efficiency Improvement Project

Service-Oriented Architecture
Winner: DHS’ U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services Enterprise Service Bus
