[excerpt]
The establishment of a clearly defined technical architecture and data standards will create the basis for solutions that are scaleable, modular and interoperable across a broad spectrum of users and uses. The Federal Government has the potential to strongly influence innovation and competition by establishing and maintaining high performance standards for its business and technical solution providers. The interoperable solutions will provide managers and executives across Government with improved tools to help agencies meet their strategic objectives. The solutions will also provide more efficient management of the automated information systems that support human resource activities. They will also allow agencies to transform their internal human resource focus from an emphasis on administrative processing to strategic planning support for agency leadership and increased customer service and counseling for managers and employees.
