Report to Congress on the Benefits of the President's e-Government Initiatives - Fiscal Year 2008 
OMB requested agencies implementing e-gov initiatives (this includes Geospatial One-Stop) to measure actual costs for the identified investments on an ongoing basis to provide the basis for estimating these savings. Based on agency-reported estimated costs for 2007 as compared to agency-reported actual costs for the 2007, estimated gross cost savings is approximately $508 million. OMB is continuing to work with agencies to identify additional legacy investments impacted by E-Gov and LoB initiatives.
 
While costs savings for Geospatial One-Stop are not reported, the following summary is provided:
"The Geospatial One-Stop Web portal continues to gain support from data providers and end users. The
number of records in the system has grown from about 100,000 in FY 2005 to over 150,000 in FY 2007.
The portal also features a “Marketplace” for information on potential opportunities to leverage resources
and collaborate on data purchases. The number of partnership opportunities in the Marketplace grew
from approximately 600 in FY 2005 to over 2000 in FY 2007. The number of visits to the site has
increased from approximately 30,000 per month in 2005 to about 60,000 per month in 2007."
