Colleagues,

As reported in Government Computer News...Cross-agency information sharing and collaboration ranked as the leading areas where investments in federal information technology would make the greatest impact on government performance, according to a new survey of federal information technology officials.

At the same time, hiring and retaining skilled professionals remains the most pressing challenge for federal chief information officers for the second year in a row, the study also found.

Web 2.0 and collaboration tools also emerged as among the most critical technologies and solutions federal IT officials are now dealing with, the study found.

The overall top 10 list of critical technologies and solutions for 2008 (and their prior year rank) include:

1. Web 2.0/Collaborative technologies (not ranked in 2007 list).
2. Information sharing (not ranked in 2007).
3. Knowledge management (ranked eighth in 2007)
4. Service-oriented architecture (same rank in 2007)
5. Wireless technology (ranked second in 2007).
