What Is the IT Strategic Plan?
The IT Strategic Plan aims unify the agency’s IT efforts by developing a secure digital system, DCSA said Tuesday. To support the overall goal, the plan includes six objectives for IT, including building a secure, flexible and scalable IT infrastructure; embracing innovation and modernizing technology; empowering and expanding a skilled digital workforce; strengthening partnerships and improving governance; maximizing secure and efficient use of cloud technologies; and enhancing data managing for data-driven decision-making.
The plan was created by teaming up with stakeholders from headquarters leadership, directorates and field offices and is in line with the priorities in the DCSA Strategic Plan 2025-2030 and the DOD CIO’s Fulcrum: The Department of Defense Information Technology Advancement Strategy.
Remarks From DCSA’s David Cattler
Commenting on the plan, DCSA Director David Cattler said, “With this strategic plan, we are taking an enterprise-wide approach to integrating and unifying IT initiatives. This plan provides a blueprint for how DCSA leverages IT to fulfill mission requirements.”
“Transparency and effective coordination are essential across the entire digital ecosystem – including IT, data, cybersecurity, information systems and innovation initiatives. We will draw on the voices of its customers, industry and academic partners, and strategic stakeholders across the DOD and intelligence community,” he continued.
