Administration priorities to improve how the government engages both with the public and among agencies hinge on technology, as do cybersecurity measures and a focus to increase program oversight and performance.

The government also is eyeing technology to help reduce energy costs, according to the report, which was released on the same day as another one analyzing the Obama administration's plan to consolidate data centers to achieve this goal.
