FDA says it is creating an Office of Digital Transformation reporting directly to the FDA commissioner to advance the agency’s information technology (IT) transformation with improved data and information technology competencies that enhance agency operations. The new Office of Digital Transformation will house IT, data management, and cybersecurity functions, according to an agency [statement](https://www.fda.gov/news-events/press-announcements/fda-advances-data-it-modernization-efforts-new-office-digital-transformation?ref=fdaweb.com).

“The reorganization is a significant step in FDA’s technology and data modernization efforts that began more than two years ago,” the statement says. “The reorganization allows FDA to bring more effective and efficient data and IT management, built on best practices, to streamline and advance FDA operations by reducing duplicative processes, implementing technological efficiencies using projects that deliver the most customer benefits, and promoting shared services within agency Offices and Centers to strategically and securely further the agency’s regulatory mission.”
