Public Sector

Overview

U.S. federal, state, and local governments rely on technology to deliver services, protect critical systems, and carry out their missions. Much of that technology is developed by the private sector, making strong collaboration between government and industry essential.

Strong public-private collaboration between the technology industry and government customers is critical for delivering effective and secure services to Americans. ITI works with policymakers and government agencies at the federal, state, and local levels to improve how governments buy, secure, and use technology.  ITI brings the technology industry’s expertise to policymakers, procurement officials and government agencies, helping modernize outdated processes, strengthen security, and give governments access to innovative commercial solutions.

ITI’s position: Modernizing how government buys and uses technology

ITI supports policies that help governments buy and use modern commercial technology more effectively. That includes updating procurement rules, replacing outdated systems, strengthening cybersecurity and supply chain security, and ensuring agencies can access new technologies as they develop at the federal, state, and local levels.

1. Modernize government technology: ITI supports replacing outdated systems, expanding the use of modern commercial technology and giving agencies access to cloud, AI, and other tools that can improve services and strengthen security.
2. Improve how the government buys technology: ITI supports simpler, faster procurement rules that reflect how commercial technology is bought and sold, increase competition and help federal, state, and local agencies access new technology.
3. Strengthen security without limiting access to technology: ITI supports clear, risk-based cybersecurity and supply-chain requirements that protect government systems while allowing agencies to buy and use modern commercial technology.
