A year into his role as the Army's chief information officer, Lt. Gen. 
Jeffrey Sorenson is pushing to sharpen and shift the focus of the Army’s 
information technology operations.

technology capabilities as quickly as possible, he said at the 
LandWarNet conference this week.

Although the 500-day plan he inherited from his predecessor, Lt. Gen. 
Steven Boutelle, remains a foundation for the Army's IT strategy,

    * Building the Army’s Network Service Centers.
