The General Services Administration (GSA) on Wednesday announced a shared services vision that aims to reduce risk, eliminate redundancy, and maximize government buying power.

β€œThe GSA office of Unified Shared Services Management (USSM) has worked with the Shared Service Governance Board, providers, and customers to craft a 10-year vision for service delivery of administrative functions that moves government toward realizing the full benefits of shared services,” the GSA press release said.

The vision is expected to:

  • Enable subscription technology services such as Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) and Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) products.
  • Limit customizations and encourage standardization.
  • Leverage the skilled workers in human resources, acquisition, and accounting to maximize resources available to agencies.
  • Create a balanced marketplace of Federal and commercial providers.
  • Enable the exploration of new funding models that change how investments are made and migrations are funded.
