ITAPS hopes that a review of procurement regulations and workaround programs (Digital Services, 18F, DIUx, etc.) will ease barriers to acquiring commercial technologies.<br\/><br\/><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;The federal government spent $80 billion on IT systems last year. Shockingly, 80 percent was spent maintaining costly, vulnerable IT systems that many American taxpayers would expect to see in a Smithsonian collection,&#8221; said ITAPS Senior Vice President for Public Sector Trey Hodgkins, who signed the letter to Trump.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">ITAPS suggests the new administration revise the IT procurement and appropriations processes to enhance its ability to replace legacy system maintenance with technology much more in sync with private-sector cycles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">By mandating updated IT systems, hardware and software inventory and increasing training opportunities for the federal workforce as a whole, the government can better locate vulnerabilities and manage desired outcomes in IT acquisition and management, believes ITAPS.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The combination of value assessment and the suspension of government unique requirements will ease barriers to incorporating large-scale solutions in place of problem-specific development, according to the letter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For more details on ITAP\u2019s suggested actions to
