The report mentioned his involvement in DoD’s Joint Information Enterprise program and the Department of Veterans Affairs’ electronic health exchange initiative.

DeVries previously served as the Pentagon’s deputy CIO for information enterprise for four years, where he worked to integrate information-related policies and guidance for DoD personnel and organizations.

In his new role, he will be responsible for advising the defense secretary on matters related to information management, information technology and information assurance.
