The Chief Information Officer (CIO) at the U.S. Department of Education (ED) has primary responsibility to ensure that Information Technology (IT) is acquired and information resources are managed in a manner consistent with statutory, regulatory, and Departmental requirements and priorities. This Department Information Resource Management (IRM) Strategic Plan for FY 2007-2011 describes: (1) The relationship between the IT vision and the enterprise business goals and objectives; (2) The set of value-added IT services delivered or planned to be delivered; and (3) The set of IT management processes and plans for assuring the effective use of IT resources across the Department. The IRM Strategic Plan FY2007- 2011 is being included in the FY2008 IT budget submission. It extends the Department's IT strategy from previous versions of the IRM Strategic Plan in implementing "No Child Left Behind" and, at the same time, captures the recent Organization Coordinating Structure changes, incorporates the Enterprise Architecture future state vision, and continues to ensure that all current and planned IT investments are clearly aligned to the business mission served.
