Though budgets and acquisition hurdles have prevented some agencies from new tech adoption in the past, OMB\u2019s guidance has some suggestions on how to leverage those possibilities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Utilizing shared services<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To free up capital for acquisition, human resources and other operations, OMB instructed agencies to utilize shared services providers within government or outsource services to the private sector where feasible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Shared services has been a priority of the federal government ever since the Unified Shared Services Management office was established in 2015 and provides a governance model for agencies to centralize certain functions like payroll, category management and IT migration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Tapping GSA\u2019s schedules and contracts<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To streamline acquisition operations, OMB directs agencies to utilize several governmentwide procurement options offered by the General Services Administration, including supply schedules, Best in Class and Governmentwide Acquisition Contracts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Agencies may also advance data consolidation and possible cloud migration plans to free up resources.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For more information on the executive order, <a
