How does IFMP integrate with the Presidents eGov initiative?
IFMP will allow NASA processes to operate more rapidly and accurately. The agency will do “more with less” in the face of shrinking budgets. However, the real benefit of the Program is the platform it represents for the future: changing the way NASA does business. IFMP will help NASA capture the efficiencies of e-Government while opening a new spectrum of possibilities for collaboration among internal and external stakeholders. IFMP will serve as the NASA “back office” by providing real-time financial and other information that can be used by NASA partners, suppliers, and customers over the course of conducting business. Other e-Government initiatives, such as eNASA, will rely upon IFMP to provide the information needed to make e-Government collaboration a success. IFM will enable an eventual shift to e-government/e-business within NASA, based on improved information and data interoperability capabilities.
