Panelist included Bajinder Paul, deputy associate administrator, Office of Citizen Services and Innovative Technologies, U.S. General Services Administration; and Kenneth Rogers, director, Information Technology Strategic Planning Office, U.S. Department of State. The discussion gave insight into where federal chief information officers stand in meeting the objectives laid out by Vivek Kundra, former federal chief information officer.
