History

The history of E-Government (E-Gov) begins with the appointment of the Associate Director of the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for Information Technology and E-Government in June 2000.  In August of 2001, the OMB Director created the Quicksilver project which was a cross-agency task force whose mission was to develop a strategic action plan and roadmap for achieving President Bush’s E-Gov vision to improve the use of the government’s information technology (IT) investments.  The Quicksilver task force announced their recommendation to focus on 24 initiatives in September 2001. This key event officially notes the “birth” of IAE, the largest E-Gov initiative.  In October 2001 the President’s Management Council defined 24 E-Gov initiatives as a starting point to lay foundation for a citizen-centric government (www.egov.gov).  President Bush signed the E-Gov Act of 2002 on April 17, 2003.  IAE was the largest and most complex of the 24 cross-cutting initiatives promoted by the E-Gov Act of 2002 that calls for “electronic procurement initiatives.”
