Over the past few years, the Census Bureau has devoted substantial resources to researching new methods and technologies to reengineer the 2020 Census . The smart use of technology will keep the headcount quick, easy and secure, while leading to substantial taxpayer savings – our goal is to save up to $5 billion in operating costs in 2020.
FY 2016 is a critical year for the continued investment in testing the cost-saving innovations that we expect will save $5 billion during the 2020 Census while maintaining the quality of the data. We are also developing a new data collection and processing system that will support new technologies and programs across the Census Bureau for years to come. We need to get the new systems built in time to conduct the 2018 Operational Readiness Test, a comprehensive examination to determine if all components are operating correctly and in conjunction in a real world environment. By investing now, we will be able to build the complex, integrated systems to support modernized operations in 2020.
