Washington D.C. seeks to ratify consolidation initiative into law

A need for accountability
In March 2013, the Government Accountability Office released a report detailing potential hurdles for the FDCCI. In the report, the GAO notes that three agencies are chiefly responsible for performing oversight over the agencies tasked with consolidating data centers. The Data Center Consolidation Task Force, the General Services Administration Program Management Office, and Office of Management of Budget each handle a different aspect of keeping agencies accountable for their progress. However, the GAO report from March also notes that the three agencies were prevented for exercising their oversight on multiple occasions. The ratification of the FDCCI into law is in part a reaction to the challenges listed in the GAO's study.
