Abstract :
Nearly seven years ago, the US Congress passed the Clinger-Cohen Act (CCA) to revolutionize IT management in federal agencies. So, where is the e-government? This article describes how federal agencies currently incorporate CCA. It analyzes the Act´s effectiveness, and proposes practices to improve its implementation. Ultimately, the success of IT transformation in the US government depends on IT governance within federal agencies and across the federal government.
