FBI honours IT governance professional
The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) has honoured an IT governance specialist within its ranks with one of 11 Presidential Rank Awards for 2006, reports the Washington-based organisation.
Sanjeev Bhagowalia, who joined the FBI in 1999, heads up the IT planning and policy office. He co-founded an IT infrastructure upgrade programme and developed an IT governance framework to track every single project, from its cost, to its schedule, to its risk information.
The awards are given to a select group of career civil service employees each year, are conferred by the US president and are divided into two categories: the Distinguished Rank Award for extraordinary results, and the Meritorious Rank Award for sustained accomplishment.
