Its continued rise to prominence is pretty well assured when the new administration takes office because President-Elect Obama has been associated with federal transparency initiatives for years and has, at least for some federal agency CIOs, made transparency an important part of the transition dialog. But what does transparency mean for the agency head or IT manager who has been instructed to make his or her agency “more transparent”? What are some of the key issues and architectural considerations that need to be addressed?
