Fresh off a meeting with President Barack Obama, the CEOs of Dell Inc. and IBM Corp. laid out a productivity agenda for the federal government that they say could save the government $1 trillion.
And it is nothing new or groundbreaking, said Samuel Palmisano, IBM’s chairman and CEO. It’s the same efficiency moves the private sector has been making for more than a decade.
“What we are talking about is putting things together and sharing,” Palmisano said during a panel discussion the day after he, CEO Michael Dell and other members of the Technology CEO Council met with Obama and other White House officials.
