ACT-IAC Releases Second Government IT Management Maturity ModelFAIRFAX, Va., July 25, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- The American Council for Technology and Industry Advisory Council (ACT-IAC), the premier public-private partnership dedicated to improving government through education and its collaborative programs and events, today officially announced the release of its second government IT Management and Maturity Model. The update is intended to provide a more successful, comprehensive model of IT maturity which includes meeting the requirements of the Federal Information Technology Acquisition Reform Act (FITARA).

This updated resource builds upon ACT-IAC's reputation for objectivity and commitment to assist government in delivering its mission and conducting its business through a collaborative approach with gvernment and industry leaders and subject matter experts. ACT-IAC developed the original IT Management and Maturity Model in September 2015 to support the implementation of FITARA which passed into law December 2014. Flip Anderson, Director of FITARA Operations at the U.S. Department of Agriculture stated, "FITARA was the first major overhaul of Federal IT in almost 20 years and many agencies were unsure how to meet the requirements of this new law and how to measure implementation success. I found the ACT-IAC IT Management and Maturity Model provided the most comprehensive guidance for helping the USDA to successfully implement FITARA mandates and provide metrics to measure the Department and components maturity in managing IT. This model continues to support the USDA in its fourth year." For more information on the ACT-IAC IT Management Maturity Model, visit https://www.actiac.org/groups/project2-fitara-v2. ACT-IAC members may also attend the FITARA roundtable on July 31 to hear from agency CIOs and others about the recently released FITARA Scorecard and the maturity model, https://www.actiac.org/events/act-iac-it-management-and-modernization-fitara-roundtable.
