Randolph Hite 1978

Randolph Hite, director of information technology architecture and systems issues for the General Accounting Office, was named to the 2004 Federal 100 list. Hite's specialty is enterprise architecture. He leads a team that evaluates the progress of agencies developing their architectures to guide information technology planning and investments. "His professional approach in dealing with federal IT areas requiring improvement always results in independent yet collaborative approaches in improving federal IT management," says David Powner, GAO director of information technology management issues. In May, Hite testified before the House Reform Committee's subcommittee on technology, information policy and census. C-SPAN covered Hite's testimony on electronic voting systems and federal enterprise architecture.
