The Obama administration launched an Internet-based dashboard in June that provides details about every major federal IT project at a single location, including each initiative's goals, schedule, cost outlays, key personnel, and contractors used.

• The dashboard displays data from 28 agencies, information on more than 7,000 federal IT investments and detailed data on more than 780 large projects.
• The Data.gov catalog which, as of September, has 110,865 data sets, allows the American people to find, use, and repackage data held and generated by the government.
