However, fully exploiting this potential has presented challenges to covered agencies, and the federal government\u2019s management of IT has produced mixed results,\u201d the report said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cIn this report, GAO identifies practices that agencies have used to effectively implement FITARA. GAO selected five provisions of FITARA to review: (1) CIO authority enhancements; (2) enhanced transparency and improved risk management; (3) portfolio review; (4) data center consolidation; and (5) software purchasing. GAO then selected nine agencies that had success in implementing at least one of the five provisions.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After studying the Departments of Agriculture, Commerce, Health and Human Services, Homeland Security, Justice, and Veterans Affairs; the Agency for International Development; NASA; and the General Services Administration, GAO found that four practices helped agencies improve in FITARA overall, while eight others helped agencies to improve in one of the specific metrics measured by FITARA.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"650\" height=\"547\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/GAO-FITARA-review.png.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-53832\" srcset=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/GAO-FITARA-review.png.png 650w, https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/GAO-FITARA-review.png.png?resize=300,252 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 650px) 100vw, 650px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">(Government Accountability Office)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cBy applying the overarching practices, covered agencies were better positioned to implement FITARA. In addition, by implementing the practices relative to the five FITARA provisions GAO selected, covered agencies realized information technology management improvements, such as decommissioning old systems and cost savings,\u201d the report said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Government Accountability Office found that agencies implementing 12 technology management
