I think the PBO provides an opportunity to transform government with technology. You need some flexibility to do that.
Speed is important.
If you're going to follow a modular approach, which is much more like a private sector model, you have to be able to move quickly. The procurement flexibilities we have allow us to do that. We're going to try to engage in a much more open dialogue with the supplier community and pick people we trust and have confidence in to work with us. The private sector uses as its primary tool for judging whether to bring somebody in as a technology partner how they feel about the people in that company. In government, where close contact has actually been discouraged, we don't have the benefit of that tool.
