The United States General Accounting Office (GAO) released a 124-page report noting that many agencies had failed to meet the timelines established by the Federal Data Consolidation Initiative. According to the report, "...while the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) required agencies to complete missing elements in their data center inventories and plans by the end of September 2011, only 3 agencies submitted complete inventories and only 1 agency submitted a complete plan.
Figure 1 provides an assessment of the completeness of agencies’ inventories, by key element, and a discussion of the analysis of each element follows the figure. In addition, a detailed summary of each agency’s completion of key elements is provided in appendix II.
