Outreach

We at the Government Printing Office (GPO) believe that our customers, partners and stakeholders must have a voice in, and help drive the development of GPO's Federal Digital Information System (FDsys).

This voice of the customer (VOC) process is critical to developing and delivering a system that meets and exceeds user needs and expectations, a goal of FDsys. The process focuses on capturing changing customer requirements over time and requesting feedback throughout the lifecycle of the program. GPO's is committed to openness and maintaining a focus on the customer for the FDsys program.

From the inception of the program, all of our background material (i.e., Concept of Operations and Requirements Document) has been available for public review and comment.

We encourage interested customers, partners and stakeholders to participate in the VOC process. We encourage you to read our material, understand where we are going, and participate to make sure your voice is heard.

If you would like to participate in any FDsys activities or provide feedback, please let us know at PMO@gpo.gov. We welcome any opportunity to discuss the system.
