The Obama administration introduced online tools on Tuesday that will track and analyze the more than $70 billion a year that the federal government spends on information technology.
The new Web tools, called IT Dashboard, are part of a Web site set up to monitor government spending, USASpending.gov. Administration officials said the technology-tracking dashboard was a step toward greater openness and accountability in government, and a model for the kinds of tools it would increasingly make available to the public for other kinds of spending, like following the flow of dollars in the economic recovery package.
