This new report examines the Social Security Administration's (SSA's) proposed e-government strategy and provides advice on supporting information technology applications and delivering online services to its constituencies.
Among the issues considered are SSA's current e-government strategy, including technological assumptions, performance measures and targets, planned operational capabilities, strategic
requirements, and future goals. It looks at strategies, assumptions, and technical and operational requirements in comparable public and private sector institutions, and their implications for SSA. And, finally, the report considers the ongoing efforts to define and refine the SSA’s long-term strategy.
This briefing was for members of Congress and congressional staff only. The report was publicly released on August 6, 2007 and can be found, in its entirety, on the Web site of the National Academies Press.
