Whether in government or the commercial world, technology investments don't happens without having the right financial model in place and the right policy tools to manage those resources.

This two-part episode of Project 38 has a pair of chief technology officers at federal systems integrators lend their insight and perspective to Senior Staff Writer Ross Wilkers on those matters and how they see a new budget environment impacting how agencies decide on their priorities.
