The Office of Management and Budget projects information technology spending for Fiscal Year 2007. The P2C2 Group's newsletter summarizes trends.
(PRWEB) February 9, 2006 -- The president's budget request for Fiscal Year 2007 included $64 billion for information technology, with $30 billion earmarked for the Department of Defense and nearly $34 billion for civilian agencies. The Departments of Health and Human Services and Homeland Security are slated to receive a combined total of nearly $10 billion. The largest gainers were Corps of Engineers and USAID.
The budget request, submitted to Congress, does not provide detail for IT outlays at Defense. The actual budget may vary from the president's request: For example, the initial request for FY 2006 was $65 billion but later reduced to $62.5 billion.
