According to this strategy, OIT will take advantage of past investments in automation and digital services to streamline and become a more cost effective organization. They plan to change workflows and align similar functions across services to become more efficient. OIT will be making a substantial investment in cybersecurity, monitoring and infrastructure readiness to ensure that their hardware and software can meet the demands of VA's growing operations. I look forward to hearing about these plans and more from our VA witnesses today. As technology changes and new problems arise. (02:47–02:58)
