Open Letter to the American Taxpayer
As the Chief Information Officer of the United States, it is my responsibility to ensure transparency,
accountability, and usability in the digital tools that our Government provides to the American taxpayer.
This tool, ITDashboard.gov, was built to give you insight into how the Federal Government invests in
information technology (IT), providing a credible, accessible window into IT spending, performance, and
decision-making.
Unfortunately, it does not fully deliver on that promise today. We must do better.
We can do better. And we will do better.
To that end, we are taking steps to sunset this site, eliminating a costly, inefficient process and allowing
agencies to focus on higher value activities. Effective April 2026, agencies will pivot to a streamlined
state that refocuses on statutorily required data. We’ll continue to make that data publicly available to
you. Stay tuned for further updates.
In your service,
Gregory Barbaccia
US Federal Chief Information Officer
