Modernization: Improving the U.S. Critical Infrastructure
According to the President and OMB’s release on Information Technology, “The Administration will work to modernize and improve government operations and service delivery by building modern citizen-facing digital services, buying more like a business, improving cybersecurity, investing in improved data analytics, and generating greater cost efficiencies.”
This further emphasizes the President’s focus on improving the homeland’s IT support system. In May of 2017, he signed an Executive Order to modernize and strengthen our technology infrastructure.

2019 FEDERAL OUTLOOK
The President of the U.S. recently signed the Department of Defense Appropriations Bill that provides over $674 billion dollars to fund military operations in 2019.
This is a $19.8-billion increase from the FY 2018.
Estimated 2019 DoD IT Spend | $46.4 billion
According to the Physical 2019 request, $36.4 billion will be allocated towards unclassified IT, $10 billion to classified, and $8.6 billion to cyberspace activities
Estimated 2019 Civilian IT Spend | $45.8 billion**
This is a decrease from previous years, although the previous IT budget included grants made by Federal agencies to state and local governments for IT systems used to administer Federal benefits.
The FY 2019 budget includes funding and investments to support 3 main functions: 1.) mission delivery; 2.) IT infrastructure, IT security, and IT management; and 3.) administrative services and support systems.
