The U.S. government can save more than $1 trillion over the next 10 years by consolidating its IT infrastructure, reducing its energy use, and moving to more Web-based citizen services, a group of tech CEOs said in a report released Wednesday.

The Technology CEO Council‘s report, delivered to President Barack Obama’s National Commission on Fiscal Responsibility and Reform, also recommends that the U.S. government streamline its supply chains and move agencies to shared services for mission-support activities.
